I would really like to start a Southern Tasmanian Collingwood Supporters Group, but don't know how to go about it.

I would also like to know what will be involved in getting one up and started and promoting it. Any help will be grealy appreciated.

Do they have an e-mail address?

How did you get on? I'd be interested in joining... there used to be one about 5 years ago but I think it was poorly run.

If you're looking at getting one up and running and need a hand, I'm here.

Good to see go tassie. i used to live their down in Queenstown. Myself and a group of people have started up the western magpies over here in w.a., so we ourselves are just going through the process. Bree Hitches is in charge of all supporter groups and you can call her at the club on PH:03 9412 0014 but she is hard to get a hold of sometimes. or you can email on BreeH@Collingwoodfc.com.au good luck.

I have sent her an e-mail, I will post her reply, in this thread as soon as soon as she replies to the e-mail I have sent her.

I'm keen to do it as well Mortis, we should team up.

The more the merrier.

That would be good mate, It would be good to get this off the ground, hopefully tomorrow I will have a reply back from Bree about how to go about doing this, so I will do some contacting once I get the e-mail back.

Let me know how it goes - and let me know if you need me to do anything etc.

WE'll need a committe (i.e President, Secretary and Treasurer) which I am sure we can vote in once we set this all up. We also need to find some more members to join up.

I e-mailed Mizuno the 'Guidelines for all Collingwood Country and Interstate Supporter Groups in 2005' document Mortis. If you like I can send you the document as well.

As posted earlier,

To become an official Collingwood supporters club you need:
1. At least 20 members
2. And have an elected committee that includes a President, Secretary and Treasurer.

Once affiliated each supporter group receives a fundraising kit, which includes a Collingwood Guernsey and a team poster signed by the Collingwood squad. The club also provides key rings and key ring inserts to be given to members at the start of each season. Club posters, stickers and other promotional giveaways will be available on request during the season.

The club would also be able to send a flyer to all the Collingwood members living in Southern Tasmania promoting the supporters club... Collingwood has recently sent a flyer to all the Collingwood members living in Sydney letting them know about the Sydney Collingwood Supporters Club... we have picked up a lot of new members this way.

Cheers mate, Bree sent me the guidelines via e-mail, now I would really like to get some more members involved so we can get this thing off the ground.
