Uniforms, Saturday Session and more!!

Uniforms

It has been great to see more of you out and about in BRS singlets and t-shirts.

I must apologise for the last order. Champs has changed their sizing of the singlets and t-shirts during to consistent feedback they were too small! so they are now more conventional sizes. Therefore, many of you may have ordered a size too big! Hopefully with the spares we have covered most of you so you have a uniform that fits well.

If not, please let me now. I am going to put in another order in 2 weeks time so I am happy for you to return anything that doesn't fit and put in for the next order.

Apologies again
