TABLE MOUNTAIN TRAILERS Table Mountain Trailers Milestone T-shirts

Hi again Trailers,

It's that time of year when we usually arrange milestone t-shirts for those that have reached 25, 50, 75, 100, etc sorties with the group. 

Needless to say, 2020 has been a strange year, so not many of us have racked up TMT miles. However, we don't want to disappoint anyone that has been waiting patiently for their milestone shirt. Having said this, the manufacturer usually requires us to place a minimum order quantity and we're not sure we'll manage it this year. It'd be helpful if we knew how many of you would be keen to buy a special milestone t-shirt, or the "all-comers" version (plain white tee with a green logo) so that we can assess the interest. 

To make things a bit easier, and to give recognition where it is due, we'd like to congratulate the following people for achieving milestones so far this year:

Liz Brash 225
Neil Garbers 225
Geoff Nell 200
Joanne Boswell 175
Samantha Brinkman 125
Kate le Roux 100
Shaun Beckley 50
Nothemba Mfolozi 50
Linda Balme 50
Thomas Andrews 50
Gary Phipson 25
Gary Banfield 25
Sam Smith 25
Andrea van Meygaarden 25

Close to milestones, and so eligible for a tee are:

Felicity Garbers 197
Marge van Vuuren 121
Natalie Marcus 122
Betina de Araujo 49
Jacqueline van Meygaarden 48

Please drop one of us a line quickly if you are interested. 

Have a great week!

G, L & L
