Default Re: World\'s Biggest 2009

We just found out last night that our deadline to get people signed up for World’s Biggest through the Waterloo Club has been extended all the way until Tuesday, April 29th. World’s Biggest is just a couple of weeks away, so grab some friends and get signed up for this great event. And by doing it through the Waterloo Club, you’ll be helping us raise some much needed funds for the brand new Circle C tee signs at the soon-to-reopen Circle C course.

World’s Biggest: Saturday May 2nd at Circle R Ranch and Sunday May 3rd at Zilker Park

Below are two emails we sent out about the deal…

Again, new deadline for signing up (and paying) through the Club: Tuesday, April 29th
For questions or to turn your stuff in, contact Laura Hovey at hoveychick@yahoo.com, or (512) 323-2823.

Thanks,
Waterloo Disc Golf Club
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After sending out the email yesterday about the World’s Biggest deal for the club, we got some feedback from people wanting to know how to hook up with others interested in taking part in the deal.

So there is now a “discussion thread” set up on the club’s web site (www.austindiscgolf.org) where you can go and get together with some other players to make up the 4-some preregistration groups. As a side note: the 4 of you don’t have to coordinate to play together at the same time, or even at the same course; you just have to get together enough to get the form filled out and your entries paid.

The direct link to that thread is: http://www.austindiscgolf.org/index....viewtopic&t=51 (it is in the Community Forum Section, under “General”)

You don’t have to be a club member to post on the web site, but you do have to sign up as a site user. Very easy and quick to do, with no obligations or risks that we’ll “sell” your email address; - we’d never do that!

You also don’t have to be a club member to be part of a 4-some. In fact, one of the big points of World’s Biggest is to get new people involved in the sport. If each club member got 3 new disc golfers out there, and even just 1 or 2 of them got hooked on the sport, we’d have tremendous growth in the disc golf scene.

Remember there is a rapidly approaching deadline of April 1st to take part in this and help the club raise funds for the Circle C project.

Subject: 2009 World's Biggest - Waterloo Club Fundraising Opportunity

Sorry for the short notice, but we have an opportunity to raise some funds for the Waterloo Disc Golf Club as well as promote the great world-wide disc golf event of “World’s Biggest Disc Golf Weekend”; happening May 2-3, 2009! http://www.wbdgw.com

All you have to do to help is sign up yourself and 3 other players for World’s Biggest. Fill out the attached form with all the information for all 4 of you and return the form and all the entry fees to Laura Hovey by April 1st (yes… this is where the “short notice” part comes in – this is only one week away).

The club will then turn in all the information and money to Circular Productions. CP will make up the packages and get them back to the club, and we will then distribute them to you either before the event or at the event.

The club will receive some money for each 4-some that does this; and we can use it to help pay for all our re-construction work and the brand new awesome tee signs out at the Circle C course. This is a great chance for you to help with our fundraising and course improvements.

Plus, here is what you’ll receive for helping:

Anyone who brings 3 players becomes an Official Individual Host for World’s Biggest.

When an Individual Host signs up themself plus 3 other players, they get:

1. Upgraded player package for themself (Sirius or Supersoft disc instead of DX) – upto a $10 value
2. A limited edition Official Supporter WB Custom Disc … Priceless!! $18-$20 Value
3. Possibly other goodies from any sponsor Circular Productions comes up with. Right now they are not sure what, but they are working on it…
4. Free lunch/drinks at the ranch on Saturday at the sponsor party for those that want to come there. $10 value (please note the invitation to free lunch is only for the INDIVIDUAL HOST…not the three players they sign on;
If the others want to have lunch there as well, they can purchase tickets for the lunch a head of time)


For questions or to turn your stuff in, contact Laura Hovey at hoveychick@yahoo.com, or (512) 323-2823. Remember, she needs to receive the form and all the money by April 1st so we can turn it in to Circular Productions.
