For the past month or so Richard and I have been talking about setting up an online store to sell REG and Temple related merchandise. The profits from the sale of all items will go to the Waterford Fund and also to help with the costs of the Temple website.

A “test” Temple Store has been set up for the past couple of months now – though there are no actual items for sale as yet. While the goal is to promote Richard primarily, another aim is to promote the Temple Website itself. A kind of “corporate branding” as it were. Obviously the two are very much linked however.

The company that hosts the actual store and handles all of the manufacturing, postage and the payment of the merchandise offers up to 50 products at this stage – any of which we can add to the Temple Store at any time. Products include T-shirts & sweatshirts, cups, mugs and glasses, tote bags, postcards, mouse pads, stickers, calendars, posters and – of all things – “flying discs” (think Frisbee). From memory anyone wishing to buy anything from the store can pay by credit card or PayPal and the items can be shipped anywhere around the world.

The artwork for the products will be original (wherever possible) and Richard and I are pursuing a number of avenues here – one of which I’ll post in an update soon. So stay tuned!
