2013 is the Year of the Magpie

Yesterdays mail delivery at Two Traveler’s Plaza included a package notification from the USPS. As it happens we both had today off so this morning after breakfast I headed to the Pratt Post Office to claim my unknown parcel.

Turns out it was my 2013 Member Pack from Collingwood F.C.

Back when Traveler Nell and I decided to make a go of it I understood there was only one condition. I had to convert to Australian Footyism. Nell is MAD for the Magpies for many years. When we got engaged I wrote to our excellent president Eddie McGuire to request a letter of acknowledgment which he did send.

So I have been an International Member of the ‘Pies for three years now and every year I get a cap, a scarf and a polo shirt.

And here is my long sleeved game-day Guernsey I got in 2011.  Notice the Gold AFL Logo indicating Collingwoods status as defending Premiership Champions.

The NAB Cup starts while we are away, but we will be home in plenty of time to see the ball bounce on the new season.

One thought on “2013 is the Year of the Magpie

  1. Oh Bill, Jenelle has certainly got you hooked 🙂 we both just watched your short film on the two magpies 🙂 Frank is jealous, he wants a new sponsor shirt too. PIES for 2013…… we hope so
