To everyone that reads this forum.
THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU from all of the 3P group. Thank-you to those of you that came out and voted for us. It was highly appreciated. And Thank-you to those that came out and did not vote for us. At least you showed your passion for the club and everybody deserves that right. And Thank-you to all of the fans that couldn't vote but came down to check it all out. As Suity and some others have already mentioned, it was a fantastic feeling within the club today. To see all the former players there with some of the current and all the fans, all in one location, mingling and having a few drinks was awesome.
To absolutely everyone, thank-you for the support that you have shown us and you are 1000% correct. It's time to deliver. I know as we speak, the guys are celebrating, but as of tomorrow, once all the emotion starts to come back down to earth, its on, job-wise. Passion-wise, I don't think that stuff will ever turn off with the guys that have gotten onto the board, which is good to know as well.
As of tomorrow, our group will be getting back together to start getting Phase 2 into play. I really hope alot of you can come back down to the Leagues Club when those elections are on. That would complete the change if we can get up there, and will make our lives alot easier right across the board to get everything done that we wish for.
One of the things that myself, and others have talked about on the forums and in person, is the need for more communication between the board and the supporters / sponsors / members etc, plus the need for more involvement for all parties involved as mentioned above. Already, we have had the opportunity to meet with alot of you and also been able to bounce ideas of each other. This is not a one-way street. You now have a board that are willing to not only deliver, but willing to listen as well. The new boys that have been elected to the board are going to have to meet with some of the old boys first in there first meeting. After that meeting if all goes to plan, hopefully then some committees will be formed so that all parties involved with the Parra group can start having some more involvement and participation than currently.
By the way, Guru knows that he has to provide Eels stickers for all members cars as some of you would know was brought up today.
Everyone, again, I can not thank you all enough. Today was a great day and I think we have many more infront of us to enjoy ahead. Thanks again and talk to you all soon.
P:S:- MITS, fair dinkum mate, if you ever want to talk and get in touch, send me a PM and I am more than happy to provide you with my mobile so we can both bounce things of each other. I'd love to move forward with you mate, and I think everyone knows how much you already do for the club. Hold your head up Mark, this ain't a revolution, its evolution.
Regards,
Col Green.
