The race is on to convert Snakes fans pledges into payments this week. Image TCP

We had our 1st contact today from the NBL subcommittee examining each EOI for entry into the new NBL for season 2009/10.

We have responded to the NBL today with more information on available dates at the Convention Centre, and job descriptions for the administration staff, however the NBL's big concerns related to when we expected the pledges to be converted.

How to pay your pledge - click here
$ Update: $357,375 paid by March 20th, 09

The pledge monies are required to meet the NBL/BA requirement of having $500k in available working capital, with some of the additional pledged funds going towards the purchase of the licence from the liquidator, KPMG.

The monies pledged cover both of these requirements and provide some start up capital (for things like stationery, web site registration, phone connections etc). So we now ask everyone who so generously pledged support to convert your pledge to hard currency by going to our “pledge” section.

Terms and conditions of  how your money will be held in trust, and when it may be released are detailed on the pledge form.

Our goal is to get to $500k by the end of this week, and to have the balance of pledges converted by the end of March.
