Due to popular demand and the fact that most of you are paupers of some description, we are kicking the 2012 Player Sponsorship off early.
That will give us all time to plan and execute bank heists and other fraudelent activites. We can then get our unmarked bills in before the deadline, which should be March or so next year.
It will also give us a better chance to collect a larger war-chest so that we might be able to sponsor two players as we did in 2010.
Mr P. Eyed who was the Finance Minister last year and did an extraordinary job has not yet indicated wether his benevolent tyranny will extend to 2012, but some sucking up and guilt tripping won't hurt. Late breaking news: He has agreed and the bank details are as follows:
NAB
Bsb: 086712
Acc No: 180619862
When you deposit, please make sure to include your poster name so Pie Eyed knows who has paid and what amounts.
How it works
For those who have not been involved before in this enterprise, board members pledge money that is pooled together so that we can sponsor player/s from the Club. The benefits of the sponsorship include a gamut of prizes and events which we split amongst the sponsors as per this link.*
http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/membership/playersponsorship/tabid/10918/default.aspx
But if you don't win a prize you still have the fuzzy feeling of having helped the Club and also get a platinum membership to Bigfooty (membership without ads) and fancy little tag that says you are a Prince/ss.
The lowest denomination has been $50, but the more usual pledge is $100, with some sterling types giving more. But given we are starting so early this year - I propose $100 as the minimum, but am happy to be howled down from a zealous mob with pitch-forks.
If we can wangle something in the order of 4-5k carrots, I reckon we can guarantee sponsorship of two players. That's $100 from 40-50 folk.
Once we have set a firmer deadline for receiving the final installment of pledges (which I'll update in this post and through the thread) we can start to vote on the players we want to sponor - on a 3, 2, 1 basis. But of course we can start discussion about who we'd like...NOW!
The logistics are not unimportant as we need a trusty soul in charge of the do-re-mi. We also obviously need a bank account in which to funnel our embezzled funds. Pie Eyed has proven his bona fides, but if we can't nab him in the National Draft, we will have to find someone else we trust.**
If people are happy for me to send out the prizes again I'm happy to volunteer but also happy to pass onto some other honourable being.
I'll be marking down pledgers' names in black. Once that pledger has ponied up the dough, their name will be in green. I'll also note part payments in green and the balance in red, eg. Old Spice $100 $50/$50 (which is $50 paid, $50 to be paid). Once I pay in full it will be Old Spice $100.
This thread will be free-floating for exposure but will at some point be stickied. I'll get the ball tumbling by pledging a double pineapple.

And no subliminal promotions of players we want sponsored. Such Cloke and dagger can unWittingly influence ideas and close Dawes to other players. It's an Ugley practice we have to Steele ourselves against.
