GPS Fundraiser

[Thames Valley Red]

While I think the timing and approach is abit crass considering the pitch work being undertaken and the issues on money from the FACUP run, I don't see this advertised anyway on Exeweb. I will try an help Elaine Davis:

GPS FUNDRAISER

Can we raise £9000 to provide GPS kit for our players?

It seems a big ask , but we have recent history of successful fundraising,.....you donated £12,000 to Light up the Park for new flood lights only a couple of seasons ago.

If we focus on £300 per kit for each player the total seems more manageable.

Indeed we already have £1500 pledged, enough for 5 players so we're already well on our way.

Any supporters group, group of friends or an individual who sponsors a GPS kit will have their name recorded in the programme along with shirt sponsors, so give it some thought & watch this space for updates.

Our thanks to East Devon Grecians who are sponsoring 3 kits, to Pierce Sweeney's home kit sponsor who is adding a GPS kit to his sponsorship & to all of you who donated to the Trust Bucket collection, enough for one kit ......so only 25 more to go!!

PS Do we think this would be a good place for some of our Exiles funds – replies to me please [email protected]


Hope someone is interested.

I thought it was announced on the official site that this money had already been allocated. Wasn't there a poll as to where money was spent.

Why do the players want GPS? Is it so they can successfully find their way from Bristol to Exeter each day?

 

[Swanaldo]

Ant, it's so they can find the feckin' goal.

Ant, it's so they can find the feckin' goal.

Sadly, when the prototype was trialled at SJP the following message came back

SORRY: Location not found. Does not exist

Can't speak for others, but I won't be contributing.

Now if it was a 'Get rid of Tisdale and Tagg' fundraiser however then I would be all over it.

Please dont misunderstand me, but is this GPS system wanted to provide our players with a driving direction navagational system like SatNav?

 

[manc grecian]

Saving of 600 quid to be made by not buying Woodman or Oakley one.

 

[PeteUSA]

Is it a SatNav thing that gives driving directions?

Seriously in the scheme of things this is what club officials are worrying about? What planet do they live on?
