NEW ECOFISHERS STICKER:

[CEO]

 A Sydney businessman is so impressed with the leadership, role, function and service ECOfishers is providing to NSW recreational fishing families, he has offered a significant sum of money, for a new ECOfishers sticker. His firm's offer is for ECOfishers to design and develop a new sticker, targetting government marine parks.  He has shared his ideas and experience in marketing and advertising with us and since he is funding the concept and design, we have (on your behalf) agreed. Our concept is already a reality. Our generous benefactor is delighted. Our new sticker is targetted primarily at your wheelie bin - no not in it, but on it! Of course it will have other applications too like on boats,  cars, utes, caravans, business windows, shopfronts, and dozens of other applications. Every fishing family in NSW at least, will want one for their wheelie bin. Can you imagine the sight around the suburbs on garbage evening and morning, with thousands of bins stating the same stark message? Wheelie sensational!
   Your Directors will have details to share with you tomorrow. Our preferred colour is bold black print on a fluro lime background and the shape of the sticker is triangular. It will be in the vicinity of 40cm wide, along the base of an inverted triangle. We needed to invert our triangle because we didn't want ECOfishers message confused with that other triangular mob!
  Your regional directors are able to provide copies and details to members from tomorrow, by email on the ECOfishers network. Until then it is embargoed. We hope you like it. Your executive thinks it is highly innovative and our Sydney businessman benefactor, is delighted we were able to come up with an item that met all his funding criteria and so quickly. The offer was only made to the ECOfishers team, at a meeting in Sydney, last week.  Getting the design and artwork done isn't a problem, (even during a long weekend!) when they know you are from ECOfishers.
  So we are most interested in your comments and appraisal. Constructive criticism will be considered. We are not interested at all, in knocker non-members. It's none of their business. And that's what we will be relaying to them, loudly and clearly.... mind your own business!
  And yes, our CEO did have lunch with a representative of the fishing trade in Sydney also last week - one of several lunches and business meetings, the team had with fishings' movers and shakers. So what!  That's what ECOfishers is all about - making people part of the solution!
                  ECOfishers - making people part of the solution!

Sounds good Ken.  Are non-members allowed to but one (or even 2; we have 2 wheelie bins here in the ACT)?  I bought some of your previous stickers (the election campaign ones), but someone (I suspect a Green voter) peeled them off my car.

[CEO]

  I'm not Ken. We are not Ken. Ken doesn't post here - he simply doesn't have the time. We just keep him informed and updated, as necessary.
 I/we are the ECOfishers office staff, all volunteers, and all females, who keep the ECOfishers show on the road and the ship sailing on a true and steady course. We understand the new ECOfishers stickers will be available to the public of course, but it is the type of statement every fishing family in NSW, including commercial fishers, will be proud to display. They will even be available to interstate fishers at the Australian Fishing Titles, in South Australia, in March.
  These stickers too, will become collectors items. So be sure to get yours. One for display and one for a keepsake.

Perhaps a different username would be appropriate then?  Sorry, I just assumed someone posting as "CEO" would be the CEO.

[CEO]

  Just goes to show again doesn't it. Wrong "assumptions," wrong inferences can cause you all sorts of problems!. CEO is a mixture of ECO, that's why the staff use it Thanks but "no thanks." What we choose to use and how we choose to use it is determined by our staff and members. So we won't be changing anything to suit you! These again, are ECOfishers decisions. We determine our own directions and future. Our policy has nothing whatsoever to do with non-members.

[CEO]

   Mail just in from our MId North Coast ECOfishers directors - they love it!

 Tweed ECOfishers reckon there should be a government grant available for such an artistic piece of work. Tweed will fully support such a project.

[CEO]

   Thank you Tweed ECOfishers. We are just waiting on one more respone from one of our Regions. All responses are positive and supportive. So that makes it a goer again. Now the hard yards start all over again. We fondly and well remember the sterling job Director Lindsay did with our previous bumper sticker. And we occasionally see the odd one of them still, as we travel up and down the NSW coastline, meeting with NSW recreational fishing families and our ECOfishers  Directors. The directors from the one region we are waiting on spent the day out fishing! The cheek of them. Fishing on a day off! And they are late home because they tied onto a baby black marlin, while trolling for mackerel. Poor sods! We wish. The last thing they will want to consider is a sticker, when they get the boat and trailer cleaned up! And yes, the baby black was photographed at the boat and released, in true ECOfisher fashion. The Directors said they wanted it to become a fair dinkum game fish, in a year or so.

[CEO]

  No folks, we are not taking orders just yet either by email, post or phone. They aren't even printed yet! We are still shopping around, as they say in the trade. Be patient. We will keep you all informed  (as we always do) as matters progress.

[CEO]

 Thank you Newcastle ECOfishers also for your endorsement. Yes, you must have hundreds of thousands of wheelie bins there. Wheelie good!

[Open Oyster]

   People are emailing me suggesting there could be a colour difficulty with black on olive green,
however I believe this is the colour combination to be used on many public and other signs. Lets hear your concerns. Don't send an email post your thoughts here this is what the site is for. From number of emails for and against we should have 100 postings here by the weekend.
  Make yourself available to the sight by becoming a member its really easy.
Then everybody can be heard. 
 Personal attacks are banned and will be erased so don't be intimidated by others.

[Spiney]

A lot of wheelie bins are a shade of green, might not stand out.

[Nete-Quette]

Good point about the bins. What size are the stickers?

[Open Oyster]

 At this  Stage "Marine Parks" at least 7 cm high with "environmental " slightly smaller and  "Dud" 7cm. 

[CEO]

 COLOUR CONCERNS: The proposal is for the inverted triangle to be fluro lime with bold black lettering. That scheme was suggested by the experts. The base of the inverted triangle is approximately 40cm - depending on what the printers can do. I read all this information in the ECOfishers email.
