The answer to this was, \u201cyes\u2026but\u2026\u201d Yes, there were such on-line shops, but most had merchandise that did not meet our quality standards. So, we passed and waited. That was until last summer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Those Chapman Report readers who attended the <a href=\"http:\/\/westcoastlotusmeet.com\/2017\/\">2017 West Coast Lotus Meet<\/a> are likely still enjoying the WCLM Tee-Shirts. We had two designs, one with silhouettes of classic Lotus cars and the other with post 2000 cars. The shirt for the WCLM entrant was of their car\u2019s era with the silhouette of their model highlighted in the color of the car! Each shirt was completely customized just for them!<\/p>\n<p>The success of the shirts got us thinking about expanding upon the combination of unique Lotus and club related designs with the ability to produce items on an as ordered basis and overcome all the objections that prevented the GGLC from making club regalia available in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the GGLC has partnered with Berm Designs (owned and operated by Jen Dietsch) to offer GGLC wear (shirts, caps &#038; more)!!!<\/p>\n<p>Starting May 1st you will see GGLC items featured on the GGLC\u2019s web site and Facebook and on Berm Designs. <\/p>\n<p>A few important things to remember and disclose<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The designs and artwork will be unique to the GGLC and created by either submissions or the GGLC\/Berm Designs<\/li>\n<li>Items and designs are on a limited release.
