Firstly, a link to the Kampala Daily New Vision’s report on the KJT’s triumphal wins at the Ligi International Tournament. They won the Under 12 and Under 14 trophies, and narrowly missed out on the Under 10’s. Are these guys good or what?

Secondly, an update on the brainstorming process – I’m about to be joined by an old and dear friend who is a true football fanatic and Fantasy League addict, we’re meeting on Wednesday to explore the possibilities of a virtual league of some kind.

Thirdly, news of the Cavalry – they may be on their way in the form of some (as yet unnamed) International players! Here’s the back-story : I approached an acquaintance (I can’t call him a friend because I barely know him, but he’s a lovely guy!) about a month ago, asking him if he would mind bringing the KJT to the attention of some of his footballing friends. He is a Tai Chi coach to several UK international and premier league players. I had kind of resigned myself to thinking that he was not able to help, and that I had pushed things a little too far by asking a virtual stranger, but on Friday morning he called – he’s very interested in helping! He suggested he could ask some of his friends to ask their teams to sign football shirts, which we could then use to raise funds. He thinks this is the best way forward as it will be great for general publicity purposes and also introduces the KJT to the players. Of course I said yes!!

So now I need suggestions : How to maximise (a) the fundraising potential of the shirts; (b) the publicity potential.
