Deadline On Polak Gift - 8pm Tonight

[astro_toby]

Hi All

First off a massive thank you to all you people who have already donated for the Polak gift - a great effort indeed.

Now, to all those who either said they were or have decided that they would like to - the deadline for payments to be made into the bank account which has been set up for this is FRIDAY - 8PM TONIGHT

i have done this because

A) most peoples pay days are Friday
b) Bank arent open on weekends
c) If we can finalise the names and messages by tonight - that gives RFCTigerArmy & I Rock the weekend to start work on the card and the design printing - which could be a timely process - especially during the week

so everyone - 8PM TONIGHT is it. Make sure that once you leave a donation you either pm or email me your name and message and the total donated. If you dont - your name will NOT get included into the card - so please, make sure you do this!

Also - i have thought it best to make a slight change to the plan to the gift.

Originally we had planed to buy a guernsey, cut it in two - front and back - and frame both the front of the shirt and the back of the shirt - with a 6# on the back and and the messages printed on both sides also.

I feel it best that we only frame ONE SIDE of the jumper - The Front. To personalize the jumper with Graham and his number - i suggest we get either a patch made - or we make part of the design printing a small yellow 6 - with "Graham Polak" written under it.

here is a photo below

the reason o have gone for this is

a)it will require smaller framing - and tiger67 has offered to make us a high quality frame as long as his tools can fit to make

b) Personally - i want Polak to hang this thing in his house. If we do both sides of the jumper - it would require a massive frame - and if he is like me - as much as this is a wonderful thoughtful gift - where the ____ can i fit a frame this big in my house without it interferring with the houses decor.

a smaller frame will mean it is more accessible for him to hang, and it does not take away in one bit - the effort and thoughtfulness of the gift.

alongside the right side of the frame - will be photos and footy cards of graham.

thoughts everyone on this change?

You guys doing the organising are best placed to make decissions based on what may or may not be possible or most suitable.

So I'm happy with that...

Really depends on how much it cost to what we are doing to how much we have i would think as well. Will judge by days end how much we have to maybe if we need more time or not. But as said above 2night would be better give us time to get it all done :).

to be honest TT - i dont even think that the money is the issue - its more an issue of not giving someone a gift that could potentially be an eyesore in their house

I still think we will find that we will be scraping it in interms of cash. And if we do have cash left over -we can use it to spruce it up with an engraved plaque and im sure we can think of mroe once that road needs to be past.

unlike what your g/fs have always told you TT, bigger is not always better:p:rolleyes:

Just a suggestion Toby, but perhaps you could contact Reebok to see if they could make a jumper with his name and number under the AFL logo as you've depicted and donate it to you guys for a damn good cause. That way it's part of the design rather than a patch, (similar to when we had 17 on our jumper in rememberance of Jack Dyer, or like Jason McCartney's jumper upon his return to footy). I guess it depends on how long it would take them to make it, if they were actually willing to do it of course.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

[stanga]

how will we fit all messags on the jmper will we see it on here at any stage

[PHX]

Stanga: PM Astro or TrueTiger with your email adress and they'll send it to you.


I like it.

Just to remind that some peoples money who donate today may not show until Monday so dont forget them.

ALso I think if it's given to him with message saying "get well Polly" or "Best of luck Graham" on there do we really need a patch as the messages personalise the jumper anyway. Just a thought.

[Truetiger]
