A chairde,
Is oth liom a rá nach mbeimíd in ann dul ar aghaidh leis an léine rugbaí stríocach as seo amach. Cé gur vótáileadh go mbeadh sé againn níor eirigh le 4orm teacht ar chomhlacht go mbeidís muiníneach astu seirbhís ceart a thabhairt. Mar sin is gá dúinn eirí astu! Beidh an léine rugbaí gorm nua in úsáid againn agus beidh sampla do le feiscint lasmuigh d'oifig Hilda ar feadh tamaill. Gan amhras is féidir leis na páistí a léinte rugbaí stríocach a chaitheamh go dtí go bhfuil siad caite nó ró-bheag dóibh sar is gá dóibh an ceann nua a cheannach. Beidh brón orm na léinte rugbaí stríocach a fheiscint ag imeacht ach faraoir níl leigheas ar an scéal agus tá cruth álainn ar an gceann nua.
Dear parents,
I'm disappointed to say that we cannot continue with the striped rugby shirt. Despite it being voted for in the recent questionnaire 4orm have not been able to secure a viable supplier in whom they would have confidence to deliver a high quality garment and service. It gives me confidence in 4orm that they were unwilling to compromise on quality and service. Of course this means that we must throw in the towel on the quest for the striped rugby shirt. We will go with the new plain blue option. There will be a sample of it to be seen outside Hilda's office. Obviously the children may wear their striped rugby shirts until they are worn out or too small for them before purchasing the new rugby shirt. It'll be sad to see the striped shirt go but unfortunately there's no other solution and the blue rugby shirt is also very striking!
