Children Decorate Shirts for T-shirt Wearing Contest
Friday 21st of September 2007 02:48:47 AM
T-shirt wearing contests are nothing new as many hopefuls try to wear as many t-shirts as possible in order to attain a little fame and bragging rights. Each year, people from all over the world put on as many t-shirts as they can in order to break world or regional records. Breaking the world record of 164 t-shirts, Charlie Williams from Buckhurst Hill, UK, managed to put on 224 printed T-shirts last weekend and raised money for a local school and cancer research at the same time.The event, hosted by, Richard Parrot, the owner of a local t-shirt printing company located in Woodford Green, UK, was created as a way to help raise money by selling the shirts Williams wore to break the record. "We thought it would be a bit of a laugh and raise money for charity. Half the money will go to the school and the rest will go to children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent. We hope to raise a couple of thousand pounds,” said Parrot.
Children from St. Antony’s Roman Catholic Primary School designed the shirts and were proud that they will be used to raise money for their school. "It took me two days to make. I had to plan it and out and get a teacher to draw a sketch for me,” said one student, Jessica Lemis, about her experiences.
As for the wearer of the shirts, Charlie Williams was happy to do his part for charity. "I felt like my knees were going to buckle under about 50kgs of T-shirts, but I always thought I'd do it,” said Williams.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
