Would one of the IFAS committee members be prepared to strike a deal?
In the interests of the federation making a few bob (and presumably it won't be mountains of cash) I'd be more than happy to do the deal via IFAS than deal direct with Hempenstall.
If they don't sell much of this stuff, they may be interested in a sale-or-return deal. Or IFAS could ask for orders via these boards every couple of months and just deal with Hempenstall on an as required basis.
We're always talking of making a few bob, here's an ideal opportunity and I'm sure board subscribers would be more than happy in the knowledge their money is going for a good cause. IFAS, by buying in bulk, could get a discount which they pocket. The user gets the product at the same cost if he/she did the deal themselves.
