Hi Dave
This is the original email
Around the $700 mark I think . Could you fwd to Sam and
Steve . Think we're after about 3 or 4 more players and your guys seem so keen
and I know they're good enough.
Main Fundraising will be: wine, chocolates, car wash
and Tim Bonython movie night. Fund raising is optional but necessary for some of
us.
cheers
Dave

Subject: 2012 Kanga Cup Avalon 13/2's
Hi All
The attached KANGA Cup info pack
describes in detail the 2011 schedule and 2012 is going to be similar. I've also
attached the Canberra Youth Hostel info. I've heard good reports about the
Youth Hostel as it is very central and has a pool etc etc. Avalon sent a team a
few years ago and despite being in the highest comp. the players had a great
time. John and Robyn Cooper's older son was part of the team. We by the way,
will be entering The Plate Competition which is specifically
designed for Division 2 teams.
I am aiming
for a 15 player squad and hoping we can can have 3 or
4 adults with us the whole 6 days. We will depart on Sunday
8th July and return late on Friday 13th July. I have a bus licence
and lots of experience driving from a previous life, so I'll be driving us down
in a rented Avis 25 seater bus.
The rough costings
are as follows:
Tournament Entry:
$1260 per team = $84 per player
5 nights
Accomodation at Canberra Youth Hostel including B'fast / lunch / dinner
= around $355 per player
Bus Hire / petrol =
$1500 say $100 per player
TOTAL
approx. $550 per player
On top of this I think it is fair that each
player contribute to the Supervising Adults costs - say another $100 or so
each.
Around $700 or so plus perhaps a little more if
we do a strip / bag / skins etc
As you can see from
the the attached, it will be a great experience for our boys - a total football
experience. I would also like to do some fundraising and have a couple of
ideas already e.g. raffle , wine sales etc but I would welcome
suggestions. The boys will be able to man the BBQ / canteen (sounds dodgy I
know) to perhaps raise some money. I imagine we'll be able to each choose how
much fundraising we do, but when my oldest boy did the rugby fiji trip a few
years ago, we found selling boxes of wine was
the easiest.
