Do we have a new sponsor yet???

[Saint Mik]

Just wondering if there is a new sponsor at the club yet.

If the answer is yes then i am sorry for not knowing

If the answer is no then why the F*** not didnt we have them lining up to sign a new deal with the new board.

When is the TALK going to start to WALK.

I have not heard a thing

cant do anything untill the majority of the board get their
gaming licenses which are forthcoming

[Saint Mik]

Why do the gaming licences come into it?

Not questioning your reply but wondering what the gaming licenses has got to do with securing a major sponsor.

Unless TATTS or KENO are jumping on board I do not understand why this would hold things up if we have or had them ready to go once the board was given the thumbs up.

they can't be on a board of an entity that has gaming machines without a license hense they are not officially the board until they have them.

Yup what he said

So we are a club without a current board in place and a sponsor then

Only joking thanks for the info will look forward to an anouncement soon then.

Bloody pokies they F*** everything up

plus I'm sure sponsorship details need some time to be worked out, you wouldn't announce who until money, signage, advertising, etc are agreed upon.

The process for gaming licenses can be quite lengthy - personal experience. But I would expect it to be done by the time the AGM comes about. Also I know that there are some very promising conversations taking place with potential sponsors. Some of these were already underway others have come from the new board members.

Some sponsors may have been found but there is usually a fair bit of to-and-froing before the deal is sealed. i.e. what they get for their bucks (sometimes takes a while to cost and organise) and the 'most important part' finalising the 'chicken-and-the-beef' for the boys that write the cheques; game day tickets, b&f, lunches, corp box deals and the like.

Yeah, you are right about the pokies - pity we didn't have our money coming from something different but thats the way of it.

Bring back the thursday night meat tray i say

I thought some whispers would be around by now but have heard nothing hope they do have plenty in the process of jumping on board as we speak.

If its anything like draft week we are in good shape.

2 million a year for a packed picnic lunch on the wing should do it
