Post subject: Thanks from Collingwood | |

Dear All
This seems as good a time as any to voice my appreciation for the magnificent way in which the Cheer Squad has conducted itself in 2007. Becoming involved in the Cheer Squad at the end of last year was way outside my brief of Commercial Operations however, like all of you, I share a passion for this Club and a deep desire to succeed in every way. I was worried by the way things ended up in 2006 and took the view that unless things were approached in a different way, the Cheer Squad would self implode. Lesley became very proactive in coming up with a workable solution - CFC was able to adapt and support the suggested changes and I believe that the results have been outstanding. The work of the Team Leaders has been outstanding and the co-operation within the group, although occasionally challenging, has been the difference.
Inevitably, the Cheer Squad is made up of diverse personalities but it is clear that we are all equally passionate. That passion, sometimes seen as the Cheer Sqaud's potential downfall, was what has been the cause for our unity. Are we perfect? - not yet. Have we improved?- absolutely. Am I proud of the Cheer Squad? -unquestionably.
Thank you all for your efforts throughout 2007 - In particular thank you to all the Team leaders, without whom this would not have worked. Thanks to those who are members of the various teams who have worked tirelessly throughout the year. Thanks to each and every Cheer Squad member for their support. Thanks to the chanters, the front row and the flag wavers. I will not individualise, but I will thank Will Betts who has been fantastic. We still have unfinished business but whatever happens tonight, the Cheer Squad has come out on top.
GO PIES!!!

A big thanks to Euge and Will who made the effort to help us get the Cheer Squad back on the straight and narrow. Some kind words and I think we have come a fair distance in 2007.
Looking forward to making 2008 an even bigger and better year. New faces, new chants, new flags, new ideas.
No offence to some but hopefully a few of the dead wood renew there seats elsewhere and let the pasionate supporters who want to stand and chant get in on the squad get involved.
Would be great if we had everyonne on the same page....
Take care all and hope that 2007 continues to be as succesful and happy year as it was and we march into 2008 full of hope and confidence that we can take that next step!!! _________________ YESTERDAY is history

thanks eugene,yes it was a huge effort to turn things around after last year.a big thankyou to leslie for taking the time to listen to us,and i am so proud to have helped her out.
secondly,a big thankyou goes to you eugene and to sally capp for finding the time to listen to us in your time at the club,and to let us as a whole group,show you we can do it.yes there are still improvements to be made,but on the whole it was a much more enjoyable place to be in 2007.
thirdly,a big well done to ALL my fellow cheersquad members on a great job done this year.unfortunately we fell agonising close to regaining the cup,but with all of you there again for season 2008 we will get that elusive cup back to its home.
i look forward to seeing you all there for the xmas party,until then safe keeping all. _________________ go tazza baby,kick sheehan where the sun don't shine |

I am glad that most of you enjoyed 2007 but personally it was the worst year my daughter and I have ever had. So bad that towards the end of the season we didn't even attend all of the games. Hence, we will not be joining in 2008. But for those of you who are.....I hope it's a great year for you and the Pies.
GO PIES! |
