I just sent this to announce at footbag dot org but thought I'd post it here too: I stress that if you are interested you should
email me or you can telephone if you really like (but
email as well). If I don't recieve an
email you will not be selected (that means if you PM me I will not consider you)

Hello fellow footbaggers,
In October, Nestle Australia is launching a nationwide promotion
campaign involving free footbags in their Milo Energy Cereal (30%
Sugar
) and are also doing a series of freestyle footbag
demonstrations around Australia. - They are planning 30 - 50 demos
providing we have enough players. These demos will be paid for.
At this stage it looks unlikely that we will be able to provide
players to cover every demo - this is despite already contacting a
number of international players who will be giving the services.
For this reason I am looking for players with a high level of ability
who are interested in promoting footbag in Australia. Unfortunately
at this stage I cannot confirm the full details regarding how much you
will get paid, however it is expected that the overall costs of your
tickets, food and accommodation will be met. You would have to pay
for your flights over here but the money earned from the demos should
reimburse you. Obviously when I do have the information regarding
payments and schedules I will let all interested people know so they
can make a definite decision. I am fairly confident that due to the
number of demos and the timing of the event (being basically exam time
- meaning many of the local players are unavailable) it is probable
that you will even end up making a profit on the trip.
So if you're an experienced and skilled freestyle footbagger and
you're interested in basically getting a free holiday in Australia to
play footbag and do some travelling around the country you should send
me an email and footbag resume. I'm sorry for the very short notice.
Keep in mind I'm only looking for expressions of interest at this
stage too. When I find out the full details this week and work out a
definite schedule then I'll make a decision regarding the interested
people and be able to let all the players involved know exactly where
they are performing and how much they will get paid. (so if you're
interested but not sure if you can make the trip with such short
notice you should apply anyway because you won't be able to later).
There is no cut off date for applications but as soon as I have the
details I'll be selecting people so the earlier you can apply the
better your chances are.
There will also be a small jam in Hobart on the 12th of November

You don't get it that much anymore, so I have to import it from up north to feed my addiction...
