An exhaustive search for just the right jacket concluded with the selection of this hard wearing, durable and contemporary jacket. Made from coated nylon with a warm quilted lining this jacket will keep you dry and cosy without being bulky or heavy.

Pockets! You wanted pockets and this jacket has plenty of them – 2 Side pockets, 1 chest pocket with integral zip pocket, 1 phone pocket, 1 sleeve pocket and 1 inside pocket. There’s even a handy D-ring on the waist for clipping event passes, IDs or key chains to.

The navy and red colour scheme is departurefrom the club’s traditional green and grey but is sure to prove more practical. Bright enough to be seen but dark enough to not be a dirt magnet.

Ordering

At just £41.00, £30.00 for members, the 2010 rally jacket is great value, as well as being exclusive club wear it’s a great jacket. The best way to order yours is to come along to a club night at Pontyberem RFC each Thursday from around 9pm and John Thomas will take your order. If you can’t make it to the club but want to ensure you get one of these great jackets please complete the form below and John will be in touch to arrange payment and delivery. The jackets are produced to order and for practicality we would like to order in the largest possible initial batch. Payment is required with your order.

The site is split two ways, stuff you want to know and stuff that’s happening. The stuff you want to know won’t change much over time and you’ll find it in the same place, the dark grey menu along the top. Because lots of stuff happens we thought it would be good to share that here, so when new stuff happens you’ll find it in the bottom left panel on the front page. If it’s quite important we can make it stick around a bit longer in the top right “featured” panel or if it’s really important and we really want you to see it we’ll put it in the top left “headline” panel.

Navigating the site is very easy, you see it, you click it, you get it! Clever huh? Along the middle of the front page is a “category bar” that takes you to broadly grouped “stuff that happens” type posts / articles in an archive of sorts. On every page of the site you’ll find a rather messy looking box of words in the right hand column known as a “tag cloud”. The tag cloud is a great way to find the things you want quickly because they loosely link things together, want to know about Rali Cwm Gwendraeth 2009? It’ll have some very intuitive tags like “RCG09″, or “Rali Cwm Gwendraeth” that relate to it, even things like “Rally”, “Pembrey” and so on. You can even link to tags rather than an individual post / article, why? Because the post / article may be out of date and replaced by some new stuff that happens.

It’s a two way street now, the site has quite powerful features that let you have your say too. Many posts / articles will give you the opportunity to comment at the bottom. Your comments will be moderated and you own your words so keep it clean and inoffencive. We also have a great contact form system that will make it very easy for us to answer your questions. There is a general form on the “contact” page that can be found by clicking the link on the top bar. We will also have special contact forms attached to pages and posts / articles that will send the message straight to the person that can help you regarding that section or article.

So now that we have this clever website and very easy ways for you to contact us here at Gwendraeth Valley Motor Club we’d really like our members and everyone else to use it. We’d like to hear from you, especially our members about the stuff that’s happening with you, send us a message so that we can share it with all our readers. If you have some criticism or suggestions about the site then we’d love to hear them too.

Personal Message from Justin – GVMC Webmonkey

I’ve enjoyed setting up this new site and will continue to improve it over the coming weeks and months to make even better so that Gwendraeth Valley Motor Club’s members get real value and use from the website.
