The P.O.N.R.J.F.C. has purchased 3 of these banners for use by Shark's families to celebrate the milestone games. To book the use of one of the banner's, please please contact Brett Guerin and give as much advanced notice as possible. The inside section of the banner is designed to be filled with crepe paper and used as a run through for the players. The inside dimensions for the gap area to be covered in crepe paper is 2.4M wide by 2.2M high. Please allow 2.5M x 2.3M to allow for overlap of the paper. There are 50 & 100 game signs supplied that are attached with velcro to the banner.
One banner will be stored at each home ground (Domeney and Stintons), and the third banner is to be used for away games and will also be stored at Domeney. The banners may be available on the Wednesday prior to the milestone Sunday game. If you are the first family for the day to use the banner, please contact Peter to obtain approval to collect the banner prior to Sunday. For families using the banners later in the day, please allow plenty of time to attach the insert to the banner - we have been advised it may take up to 30 minutes to attach your insert.
After the game, the banner should be cleaned and returned Brett Guerin.
To BOOK A BANNER
Bookings are made by contacting Brett Guerin - please give as much notice as possible.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
These banners are for use by all Sharks families. Please be considerate of other families who may be using the same banner on the same day.
Banners at Stintons and Domeney MUST remain at these venues at all times. The banners may be collected by the first family to use the banner on each Sunday if arranged in advance with Brett Guerin.
The Away Banner must be returned to Brett Guerin.
The banners must be cleaned of all crepe paper and tape so it is ready for use by the next family.MATERIALS REQUIRED
- Crepe paper to cover the insert. Insert dimensions are 2.4M wide by 2.2M high. Please allow 2.5M x 2.3M to allow for overlap of the paper.
- Rubbish bag to collect all the pieces of paper from the ground prior to the start of the game.
- Narrow and wide adhesive tape.
ATTACHING YOUR INSERT
It may possibly take 30-40 minutes to attach your insert to the banner - please allow plenty of time. Attach your insert to the BACK of the Shakrs banner - numerous run throughs by strong young footballers can remove the paint from the edges of the banner! Attach using small sections of sticky tape - not one long length of tape.TIPS
Parents have forwared these handy tips - please let us know if you have anything else to add - contact Virginia.Crepe Paper - shop around. It may take a few visits to obtain enough red, black and white crepe paper. It has been suggested that Lombards has long rolls of crepe - perhaps you could combine with another family to use a roll of paper.
In Eastlands the newsagency (near the Reject shop) has "Gala" crepe paper - packs are 2.4M long x .50M wide. 7-8 packs were required to make an insert.
Remember the banner opening is 2.4, so extra paper would need to be added so there is an overlap where it is to be attached to the rear of the banner.Sharks Picture - Available to download and print so that the Sharks logo can be enlarged on a photocopier and then attached to your insert.
9 sheets of A4 - finished size approx. 85cm wide x 60cm high
Download large shark (.pdf file)4 sheets of A4 - finished size approx. 50cm wide x 35cm high
Download small shark (.pdf file)Letters/Numbers - Word doc files that can be used to make up the letters/numbers for your insert. Word Art files supplied by parents - thank you. Print onto normal copy paper, cut out and stick onto the banner insert.
Taping - use small sections of adhesive. Tape on the back of your insert. Tape insert to the BACK of the banner to avoid paint being removed as the kids burst through the banner. Tape across the banner using short lengths of tape - better for the kids when they burst through and also easier to remove if you make a mistake and have to peel off the tape! Wide (approx 5cm), clear packaging tape was used to attach the insert to the back of the banner .
Time Taken and Transport - reports of 3+ hours to construct the insert and 30-40 minutes to attach the insert to the banner. If transporting the insert already attached to the banner perhaps wrap in a travel rug/tarp to protect the crepe paper from tearing.
Poles and holding up the Banner - the poles attach in the middle of the banner but do easily come apart so perhaps some tape around the joint would help this. Try to get helpers to hold the banner and/or support ropes so parents can video/take photos of the burst through. Great to have photos taken from front and back of the banner to capture the whole event. Then after hours of work and preparation its over in seconds and the rush to clear up the paper before the siren begins!
