Paint Yuendumu Red and blue

[FC Melbourne 108]

All.

Just wanted to guage interest in who would be interested in donating old demons gear to send up to the Yuendumu community?

I know I have a few old jumper scarves and beenies that aren't currently bring used. Would any other posters by interested in participating in a drive to paint the town red and blue?

If enough people show interest through this thread I will come up with something more concrete.

Count me in, I have plenty of old stuff to donate, hate to part with any of it, but it's a great idea worth supporting.

how many 05,06,07,08 membership scarves will get sent up

another thought i had would be to set up a yuendumu scholorship/rookie program, maybe one or two kids from up there a year could come for a set time, spend some time with davey, jurrah ect, play a few games with casey reserves ect, with the idea of rookie listing them

Great Idea FC. Hope it comes off.

Might have to go up north for a visit in a couple of years. Wearing my 1987 Jumper & scarf.

Great idea FC Melbourne. I have some caps and scarves to donate. let us know the final arrangements.

[Demon4Life 599]

I've got a couple of beanies and a scarf or two I'd be happy to send their way.

[rodney_g 63]

Great idea. I've got a few team polos that I have *grown* out of!!

Will items be collected in Melbourne or posted direct to Yuendumu?

[mikeod 21]

More than willing to send 2 of my old guernseys up

Maybe contact the Mt. Theo organisation and see if something can be arranged,

Hey guys just to let you know that Melbourne have made contact with us here at Yuendumu FC and we are definitely looking at building a positive relationship into the future (hopefully in conjunction with RudeBoys Industrial Magpies Group whom we have had a great relationship and friendship with for 5 or 6 years). Melbourne, most particularly Ian Flack, have been hugely supportive of Liam and Yuendumu.

As far as gear goes we only have 2 games left in our current season in Alice and have a decent current kit. Jumpers would definitely come in handy for our Summer competition - Liam actually grabbed us some training gear early this year which was used in the Yuendumu Summer Comp. From Jan - April we have a Yuendumu based Summer comp which sees Yuendumu Magpies split into 3 local teams (Souths, Allies, Dockers) as well as nearby Nyirripi and Willowra Communities (also the Warlpiri tribe) and Mt Allan Community (Anmatjere tribe). We just play matches every afternoon and its effectively our pre-season training for the Alice Springs CAFL! You can see details about the Summer Comp for the last few years on the website www.yuendumumagpies.com.

BUMP

Wondering if anything came of this idea?

I've got a couple of old shirts that will otherwise be going of to the Salvos.

Could it be as simple as getting an postal address in Yuendumu?

I can donate too... great idea

[FC Melbourne 108]

OK, back on board after a short break and ready to get this going.

Firstly, everyone happy that I use my personal postal address as the collection point? I realise there is an element of trust here and just want to confirm no one has an issue with this. Secondly, I am based in Brisbane which may present a logistical hurdle. If someone Melbourne based wants to take over I'm more than happy to let them.

I will keep an inventory somewhere on demonwiki to keep some transparency to the process. Once we have an idea what we have to send, we will address the issue of how to get everything to Yuendumu.

I've got a few Demon jumpers (kids sizes), scarves, etc; I've also got a few pair of footy boots that my boys have outgrown if they would be interested in those, they're welcome to them. I think the kids might prefer to play barefoot though but they're here if they want them.

[Supermercado 2,646]

Great idea. I've got a few things that I'd love to see go to a good home.

[FC Melbourne 108]

OK, we are ready to go.

A full outline can be found here.

At this stage we have drop off and postal points in Melbourne and Brisbane. If you have any questions, just email [email protected] or dm me on twitter, @demonwiki.

Will update our progress as things get moving..

I've already received a couple of things in the mail. Thanks to those who have contributed.
