Hey guys and gals,

Hopefully by now you’re all well aware of the tour to New Zealand from Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th of April. It’ll cost around $1000 for the trip, and you’ll need to start getting money together for plane tickets pretty soon. You can probably get your return airfares for around $420 or so including taxes.

I have a few guys who are definites at this point, but unfortunately not a whole team. At the moment the only people I’m 100% sure are coming are myself, Shanas, and LG. If you want to be added to this list, let me know very soon.

For the girls, I’m not sure whether we’ll get enough for an indoor team. They do have beach volleyball at the games though, so let me know if you’re keen for that.

To be safe, I’ll assume you’re probably not coming until you’ve bought your plane ticket. If you haven’t done that by the end of February, I won’t be counting on you at all. Shanas, LG and I have tentatively decided to leave Brisbane on Saturday the 7th, and return on Sunday the 15th.

In terms of how much of the cost can be covered fundraising and sponsorship, expect to pay for your airfares at least. Shanas and I are onto a few money-making ideas so we’ll see what we can do about the rest. To be safe, work on the assumption that we won’t get any money, then you’ll be right when we do. On this point as well, if you know any company who’d like to chuck in some dollars, put them onto myself or Shanas, or at least let us know.

So let me know if you’re a definite and we’ll start organising. Hopefully once we know who is keen, we can all have a meeting (with alcohol of course) to talk about how it’s going to go.
