2008 Old Football shoes collection campaign and other activities

In April 2008 I started the campaign via displaying of signs in my Kiosk and a mates shop "Jhay The Cobbler" in Dickson ACT and contacting via E-mail a large number of Junior clubs in ACT and also Capital football letting them know what I intended to do.

Some of the clubs did not reply and some let me know that they already have a Football Shoes collection pool and were not able to help.

I got good news from Tuggeranong JFC and they invited me to collect a box of old shoes that was available. approx 30 pairs fantastic
I have approached Mr Marko Vrkic the President of Canberra FC and he also related my message to his Juniors and we collected about 25 pairs

Thank you Canberra FC and Tuggeranong JFC
I have successfully been able to find cheap football shoes at the Jamison Trash and Treasure and up to September I was able to purchase in excess of 25 pairs. Also been able to buy few old balls and sheen pads as well
Between my kiosk and Jhay shop were able to collect in excess of 20 pairs and Jhays shop had the Lions share
Also I want to thank and Acknowledge Rick the owner of Praga Cafe at the Dickson Shops which has spotted the sign in Jhays Shop and donated in excess of 20 used footballs and few pairs of boots
Thank you very much Rick much appreciated.
So by September we were able to fill 3 balykbayan boxes containing in excess of 100 pairs Football Shoes, 50 new balls and over 25+ old balls sheen pads and Keepers gloves.
