The southern highland post seems to do a good job giving the clubs down there great exposure. I suppose that they have less area to cover than the Advertiser or Chronicle do in the middle & north of the group.
The problem with the camden, mac, & wollondilly advertiser is Sean cunningham writes for all 3 editions so can only go to one game to write up on. I think he has another that helps also but all thru the year at best we only got two games covered for the week in the northern papers.
G6 have been quoted $600 a week to get a postcard size section of the paper - that's pretty steep when you add it up.

10 weeks = $6,000
20 weeks = $12,000
30 weeks = $18,000

Was it the executive officer we wrote the news letter? If so he seems to be venting at Mitta for questioning is job?? Rumblings have it most clubs want the position funded in part so if the exec can't as Jerry Maquire said "show me the money" then he would obviously have to step a side.

Was the high gate fees charged at grand final to cover the execs fail to bring in sponsors? What prize money was paid to winning clubs. Should be decent given the price hike in gates.
I'd imagine you'd have to ask the EO that or Mitta.
Instesting. What's wrong with a secretary, what ever happened to volunteers same as the clubs do. Clubs work hard I'd image for every dollar add in more costs and they would be asking questions why. Reading the letter it seems the clubs are up for more costs just for advertising.

Why does the EO offer a sponsorship pack to a paper or a DVD company on the Groups behalf so the clubs don't have to foot the bill?? He seems to need to be more pro active.
The seniors had a secretary last year and clubs spent a large amount of time bitching and whinging about him and weren't happy about the job he was doing either.

The Wests JL has a paid EO who earns more than double the money that the G6 EO earns and they don't even have a creditable senior comp anymore.

I'm not arguing one way or the other but I think that the job that's expected of the position be it a "secretary" or an "EO" these days is too big to be performed by a volunteer on a part time basis. It's hard enough to be a club secretary with the constant demands on your time and the work that needs to be done, I'd imagine that running both the Junior & Senior league is a massive job.

Big difference is Group 6 clubs fund thief EO and Wests leagues not Wests clubs fund thief EO hence why Group 6 clubs I'm guessing what thief EO to find the corporate coin to pay for his position. Questions is, can you accomplish that with his 3 years he has.

In this economic climate it won't be an easy task. Sponsors are getting harder to come by.

He has a very tough job.... people are quick to complain and criticise but in my opinion the money he is on isn't enough for the do-do he has to put up with...

I'd imagine you'd have to ask the EO that or Mitta. I think he was given 3 years to to cover the cost of the position via sponsorship and he's only been in the job 12 months if that - not sure when he was appointed.

I don't know what the prize money was for the Grand Finals but BD could tell you what the Eagles got for 1st & reserve grade.
Dont you think that him being in this job for a year and he hasn't raised a cent in sponsorship has some concern, and you want to wait for 3 years, please Black and White. I own my own buisness and if I dont make money, I dont have a job, same case here. My bank wouldnt wait for three years to start making money, good on Mittagong for brining this to a head. He was at our club and he couldnt attract sponsors then so how will he attract sponsors now?

I don't think I should be commenting, if the Group wants to release the amount in prize money they can.

Local papers should brush the coverage of the Wests Tigers. Unfortunately there won't be a Magpies to report on in 2013.
If you want to read about Tigers NRL, buy the Sydney papers or RLW.
Should be more space for proactive G6 clubs in 2013.

The Southern highlands paper leads the way for coverage of their local teams. The advertiser has been pathetic this year in their coverage of group 6 rugby league simple as that! Eagles, jets, roos, rams, workers, tigers, magpies, roosters, etc There should be quality articles with pics every week! Im sick of picking up the local rag and reading about over 40's soccer or lawn bowls on the back page! Group 6 is easily the most followed local sporting competition, hope the advertiser can regain some credibility in 2013!

A lot of the advertiser's space this year was taken up by that do-do tigers advertorial. Maybe the Tiges, if they continue with what must be an enormous expense, could put a page aside in this to promote the Group Six and ICCC leagues?

I think the Advertiser has don't a great job this year, Sean Cunningham has been at many games throughout the year and always there if you want to get a story in, the problem is, if there isn't enough editorial room sports have to be put aside, and yes sometimes it's group 6. If we could get a half page everyweek, that will give the group 6 enough room for Ladder, game of the round, next weeks matches and an action photo. This is what we need but I couldn't see Wests Tigers giving up there 3 pages!

As they've quoted $600 per week for a postcard sized section in the Advertiser, imagine the cost of half a page. I wonder if the clubs would want to contribute to the cost?

You'll have to tell us your secret on how to get free publicity from the Advertiser.

I'm sure all the clubs, in the JL & Group, would like to know.

It's not rocket science, As BD said it's pretty easy, and if the Group EO can't utilize the Groups pulling power to get a newspaper on board then his not the man for the job.

Potential is there get the right pro active people and make it happen.

The old saying"scratch my back I'll scratch yours" anyone can get a quote but sealing a deal well thats another story.

The Wests EO gets bagged alot but reading on here of late your EO is gaining on her.

AGM coming up maybe he will be voted out? Could it be time for new blood on the Group board? Are they getting stale?
