9 bonus points to the Wildcats - rather than 'anonymous', to be 100% correct, the answer to 4 would have been 'unknown'. As Winston Churchill said... “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” - now come on, teams, let's have some action! Lilly, I take it that you will be joining the Wildcat's team effort, sir? ;D

Plus the teams can still claim extra points for any additional sales they record throughout the Apprentice Challenge, and even after a specific task has ended.

Have replied to your PM Jutta I might be kind enough to take some useful photos for the Wolves if they are going to do likewise for the Wildcats ......... Course they could be playing around with this photo of Jerry lounging on the computer chair reading a book whilst wearing his housecollar until Al's collars get here and I take some pics Sheena

Thank you very much, Sheena I took some photos of the walking belt this morning - I'll email them to Sheena! Was Jerry able to read before he got the collar or is the collar the reason for him to be so outstandingly bright? (lovely photo!!!)

Bonus points to team members who can suggest sensible designs for NEW products that will help to use up the 4,000 metres of narrow width webbing that arrived at HQ this morning - possibly as a result of a misunderstanding following a conversation I had last week with our fittings supplier! If the suggestions are viable, the teams responsible for the ideas/designs, will be able to add the new products to their challenge task. ;D BTW, much of it is too thick to pass through the relevant width clip fittings and tri-glades to make things like collars or harnesses. It would, however, make Figure 8 halters and leads etc.

Hmmm I'm thinking lots of cat harnesses can it be used for cat collars, though I think the problem before was the safety release clips wasn't it?

It's not suitable for cat collars, but some could be used for collars for very small dogs and puppies. However, much of it is too thick to pass double through the tri-glide fittings. This means it also isn't all suitable for harnesses, either. Perhaps about 600 metres of it would be okay, though, and that is in red, brown and green.
Some of the webbing is a very nice quality teflon material.

For teflon material I'd certainly suggest long recall training leads and, if it was possible with that material, those 'sliding' leads that I've ordered before as longish walking and recall training leads that can easily be shortened to half length (or any length in-between) - obviously if you have the fittings for that.

Are we (apart from introducing the product to a targeted market) supposed to email you the labels and the marketing presentation and/or publish them here? Jutta - not quite with it (obviously, see ducks and things.... )

Post the labels and presentation in this thread, please, Jutta. I'll copy the labels and start printing them. (The packing bags arrived here this morning. ) You will need to be able to use your presentation to help promote the sales of your products. The majority of the webbing is in 1/2" and 5/8" widths, the remainder is 1" and that in green and burgundy, and some 3/4" in brown and black. Those latter two widths could be used to make your favourite 'Slider leads' but until I get confirmation details of the cost, I think the recall leads may not be economically viable in it, and when compared to the web ones we currently make in a polyprop web.

Would the thin webbing be good to use as straight forward leads with the ring at one end and a big loop at the other where your hand goes similar to a slip lead or did i not read the post properly and you said the material was too thick (just like Moi ') ;D

Actually, Dray, I did say that it was okay for leads, so yes, these can be made from it, as it will easily pass through the lead clips or rings. It's the collar and harness fittings that don't come wide enough in under 3/4" or 1" widths. ;D However, for claiming bonus points, I am looking for suggestions for NEW/different products, please.

Bag straps - ones that can identify the owner of a suitacase, and/or to help keep the suitcase shut when there is too much stuff in it!

Any idea how long they would need to be, please, Mary?
If just straps with adjustable clips like on dog collars, these could be made and would be very strong... Probably more expensive than shop bought ones, though.
