The Fighting Tiger Fund - "Giving 110%" [merged]

[Penelope]

possibly because the increase of spending on the football dept will take longer to show a return whereas debt deduction saves on interest expense immediately and thus allows more to spent on the footy dept in the short term.

[WilliamPowell]

al, I rekon you've hit the nail on the head

reducing the debt saves us on interest which mean automatically a few 100K is freeed up for the footy department

By doing a 50/50 split on anything that goes in the FTF the club is able to do both:

reduce debt, saving in interest expense that will go to footy and then the other 50% goes to footy I makes great sense

Big footy have a bit of a good fundraiser going:-

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?s=72dcf098805dd3cba78d19aa50c8fe25&t=796828&page=12

Basically, you nominate what ever you want to donate, but tie it to our performance over the year. Eg:-

$10 per win, $5 per cotch brownlow vote, 20c per tuck kick etc etc.

We havent really done anything as a group yet.

Wondering if people would be interested?

[Penelope]

stuff it, why not.?
considering we should keep our expectations low in terms of wins though, personally i think per win is not such such a good idea. I'm sure we can be more imaginative than that.

I'll kick start it.

$10 for every time we do better than a 5 goal loss.
$2.00 for each brad miller goal 
and the real long shot - $1000 if mitch morton wins the brownlow.

Before this can be done, can the powers that be confirm they can set up a bsb number that we can pay into?

Our preference has been not to do a group thing.

Personally my view hasn't changed as I have always believed it is up to individuals if they want to contribute to the FTF and deserve that recognition from the club directly

Another reason being is it it involves handling other peoples money and I've never been keen on that via the net  

But...

Mr OE & I will have a chat and get back to you  

[Penelope]

what are the chances of RFC_O sorting a way for people to pay their pledges straight to the club under the banner of OER, either as we go or at the end of the season?

It would probably mean we cant keep track of who pays their pledges, (but i reckon most on here will honor their word any way.) that would save someone having to handle the money.

$2000 if Jack wins the coleman
$3000 if we play finals
