Hi Folks
I have recently got involved with the company Clubmugs who are a well established company already and I am currently trying to raise their profile within the GAA circle .
Their mugs are second to none in terns of quality and professionalism and in fact there is no other company in the uk or Ireland who do what they do in terms of printing to rims of the mug and so close to the handle .
The images are all designed by a graphic designer and the final print will not be confirmed until client is totally happy so it can changed as many times as need be.
Anyway my reason for contacting is to gauge the interest and the possibility of getting some mugs ordered from your individual clubs ?
They are a great way of fund raising as most of the clubs we have sold to already are making between £3 and £6 profit per mug depending on their sale price so it can be a nice little earner but also a great way of endorsing and publicising any event by way of prizes etc.
A antrim club recently sold 200 at £10 each and made a nice profit on each one . I think that was too much but shows what can be done and when you see them they are an easy sell
Dont want to go on too much but if you see these mugs in person they are hard to say no to but in the meantime have a look at the website or Facebook page.

Our club would never buy anything based outside the republic.
Too many people out of jobs down here and money is hard raised.

Controversial.

I hope that includes such things as alcohol, TVs etc.

You do seem not to be social, for sure.
We got mugs off these guys as you can see from the graphic.
Service was very good and the quality of the mugs was superb.
Just saying.

Seriously think about all the stuff it takes to run a club, none of it comes from outside the Republic?? WUM lol!! best yet
Have heard this more and more recently that volunteers at club level are being regarded as fools and mugs by the corporate section who point back to the volunteerism of the GAA as a first line of defence for themselves.
Why is this debate breaking out so frequently now amongst ordinary members?
I see manfromdelmonte's club has a bus too, just like the Rossies.

Yeah, but we buy it from companies in the south. We don't contribute to the UK economy.
Out of a senior squad of 20+ lads, I'd say 4-5 are out of work.
Think about that when buying services and products
We have got jerseys, bags, hoodies, training equipment, goalposts from local companies. And we've made sure our members and others know we are putting money into the local area.

Every club has people unemployed ffs. Putting money as you put it back into the local area won't have a factor on these lads getting jobs. I think its a very noble thing to do but it actually may cost your club more money to buy this stuff locally rather than trying to find the cheapest option, due to most people not having the extra money they may not have the extra money to buy the stuff!!
Anyway that could be a different thread topic altogether

Thats not altogether true MR2, while the €1000 spent on jerseys from a local supplier wont get a job, if all the local clubs buy of him then he needs to take on someone. Its more than a noble thing to do, its the reason we have the guaranteed irish brand and other initiatives like it

Just of a matter of interest what is the name of this local clothing firm, does he actually produce these tops in a local clothing factory? Is the fabric made in the Republic also?

the factory is down the road and does the printing and embroidery
and employs locals
I don't know where the garments are made.
point being, money spent local stays local.

Just asking as the foreign workers in places that I would be in send a fair chuck of their money home, thus not being spent in the local community as you have pointed out, may be different where you are
Lads I know this topic is about mugs and while I appreciate the air time it was t the responses I was wanting so could you MUGS cut it out.:)
I honestly thought this was a good and novel way for clubs to do a bit of fund raising as most of the clubs and companies make on average £2/3 per mug and when you see the quality of these they are not a hard sell.
So if you are intetested get in touch, if not, no harm done.
And for what it's worth our mugs are sourced in Ireland( Republic to some) Ireland to me.
And if you find someone local to do these go for it but don't waste too much time looking.
Are they dishwasher proof, our club wont buy any that aren't dishwasher proof. German dishwasher! Her name is Olga ;D
