------------------

It has been brought to our attention by several ex tankermen that they would like to see an Association T-Shirt available for sale. This question has surfaced many times and we have agreed to this idea. However none of the Committee are artists but we are open to suggestions for a design as some ex Tankermen have said that they have in their possession an old TTT T-Shirt of the type that was designed by a sailor some years ago and several were in circulation.

The question that we would like to put to you our members is can anyone submit a copy of this old design that we may be able to use to produce a new design as we all wish to remain distinct as Tough Tenacious Tankermen.

Please submit any designs and photos to the Secretary as soon as possible.

Another item of note that some members have asked about are beer stubbie holders with the Association badge on the side or some other motif.
