Sponsor Paicey in 2008
By Griff
July 15 2008
Every year The Craic tries to sponsor a player. For the past couple of years we have been proud to be the Fan Sponsor of David Paice. This year we're sticking with our lad - he's done alright out of it. Since we started DP has gone from a bright-eyed academy scholar to England hooker, who knows what he'll achieve this year.
The way the sponsorship works is that we get a group of supporters to chip-in of a share in David. Fan Sponsorship is £300 so we divide Master Paice into 60 bits and for £5 you get to own a bit for a year. At the end of the season we draw one lucky shareholder from a hat and they get to go to the Player Sponsor evening at Sunbury where they're accompanied by the plucky hooker and get to meet most of the team and backroom staff. They also get presented with one of David's match shirts from the year which is theirs to keep.
If you'd like to join the consortium simply email me (griff@londonirish.org) with the following details:
i) Name
ii) email address - can you make sure this is likely to stay active for 12
months
iii) contact phone number(s) (in case email fails us or I need to get in touchm urgently)
iv) How many shares you want to get (and if they are for you singly or for you and a partner/family member).
Don't send any form of payment yet - I'll let you know how many shares you got and how to pay once they're all in.
I allocate the shares in as fair a way as I can - everyone will get one share before anyone gets two (and so on until all the shares are gone). People who respond to this story first are further up the queue for multiple shares.
So, if you fancy joining-in, give me a shout.

HJC (I'm guess you're Holly...)
Mike Beasty (I presume your last name is grape related)
Fursa - You're in provisionally but can you email me as I have no means of contacting you
We already have enough people to issue all the shares but I do prefer more people with fewer shares so it's not too late to jump in.
I'll be looking to make the cut on Wednesday (unless we fill-up with one share per person beforehand).
