URGENT ATTENTION - SENIOR PLAYING TOPS

Tuggeranong Vikings Baseball New Senior Playing Tops for 2015/16 Season

For those players who have not received an email. We have decided to purchase new playing tops for our seniors this Season (2015/16) with the hope to purchase new ones for our juniors in the 2016/17 season. Due to the costs involved we are not in a financial position to replace all of the playing tops in one season.

We would like to give you (senior and/or juniors playing seniors only) the opportunity to purchase your playing top outright with the hope of still retaining your number, if you have one. The cost will be $50.00 per top however if you purchased your top within the last two seasons we are happy to do a swap.

If you wish to purchase your playing top, could you please email Kylie at seidel2818@gmail.com your size and playing number by 10 August 2015.

After this time, players who currently own their top will then forfeit the right to their current playing number; we will then be unable to guarantee the playing tops that we order will be available in your size with your current playing number.

Any questions feel free to contact me.

Cheers
