Who’s Coming Next Wednesday?
Hi FAX Fans
It’s been a busy few days here at the Shay as we prepare for next Wednesday’s Supporters Night that features a Q&A session with Karl and the players, a chance to pick up your pre ordered shirts, and opportunities to buy other merchandise and hopefully the 2012 FAX Calendar.
The latter has been taking up much of my life with an all day shoot on Sunday with the girls (see the video HERE) and the first half of the players shoot on Monday night (we are doing more tonight so there should be a video in the next few days for this too).
Overall it’s been an amazing experience and a big thank you needs to go to Darron Shepherd, the photographer extraordinaire who has certainly brought a bit of class to the occasion. Anybody who is in need of a photo man then get in touch with the Club, because we can recommend this guy.
A big thanks to Sarah, Jayne, and the Pidgeon Twins too, the competition winners who showed a great deal of patience and stamina in the smiling department. Although Rob and Neil seemed to enjoy it, getting a picture with all the cheerleaders. Yeah, you might want to nominate yourselves next year lads, it was a pretty good way to spend a Sunday.
We are finishing off the photos in the next few days and we hope to have some copies for next Wednesday. We really hope they sell well because a great deal of effort has been put in, and all profits will go to two great funds. The Blue Belle fund and the 2012 School fund, two areas we are looking to expand, and two areas the RFL bosses pointed to recently as areas that could help carry FAX.
More details will be released in the coming days with regards to price, but there will be something for everyone so please get your orders in!
As I say the launch will hopefully be next Wednesday, a night for all of you! And a FREEBIE at that!
We are looking to engage more with fans in 2012 and events like this is where we start things off. Yes it’s a chance to sell things and for you to collect pre orders, but it’s much more than that. When Karl came back he said how he wanted the players and fans to feel as one, so come along, listen to some stories and get some pictures. I think it’s fair to say we all miss our rugby, and although this won’t quite fill that void, it certainly is a start!
The night kicks off at 7.30pm so come down to the Shay and bring a pen, some paper, and a camera to take some shots of the newbie’s of 2012! They’re a great set of lads and have already jumped legs first into the Club mentality. For a greater insight join our Twitter and follow some of our lads. Ste Tyrer and Mick Nanyn in particular are rather active with it.
We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday lads and lasses, so please share the love and spread the word of FAX.
Mr FAX
