Message from Tom Mellor at Bodhi

Hi Dave,

I have had plenty of questions as well.

The kit should be with you by the latest of 29th May. Hopefully the week earlier. That will make it just over 7 weeks after the webshop shut, so hopefully everyone is happy

Thanks
Tom

David Cole

Well done Simon. Exellent time

Roger Shayes

I have just heard from Roger Shayes, he had a 6 hour operation at the end of March to repair an aortic aneurysm. He has lost 7lbs in weight since then and is still feeling weak and he tires easily. However he sounds in good spirits and we wish him well for a full recovery.

Bodhi responded to the complaints about the original order from them and we we under pressure f...

Hi Ben
My own experience in trying on the golden eye kit is that sizes are comparable with Giordana. Unfortunately the club cannot agree to swap kit, sorry
