Zapkam have recommended that orders for Chorley Marlins club kit should be placed by Thursday 16th November for delivery by Christmas. Kit can be ordered direct from Zapkam through their online store.
It was good to see so many members wearing club kit at the Distance Meet. The kit is manufactured using sublimation printing which means the design, logos and names are dyed into the material during the manufacturing process. The advantage of this is that names and logos will not peel or crack which has been a problem in the past. Members names can be added to the back of the tops and initials on the shorts and tracksuit bottoms at no extra cost.
