THE PLAYERS LOUNGE

FEEL THE THRILL OF WHITE COLLAR DARTS 2021 Our arrow-wielding stars of the show are to decide on their own player name, design/colour of their unique darts shirt, own walk on music and most importantly will be a key component in White Collar Darts History!

Participants will be rolled out on social media and a pre-tournament video interview will be created with each player - Why White Collar Darts? How has training been progressing? Are you excited/ nervous for the main event? Will you be crowned king or queen of the WCD2022?! This will create a real excitement in the run up to the event and really engaged our players with the audience last year.

Further to this, you will each have your own darts photos taken and those competing will also be asked

12

A

to make their Facebook cover an “I’m playing White Collar Darts 2022” social banner to further increase exposure of the event.

Participants are asked to secure £1000 in sponsorship (all proceeds to go to Brighter Futures) and be committed to selling a minimum of two tables (for colleagues, sponsors, friends, family etc.)

We must remind you White Collar Darts is limited to 16 players and due to the popularity of the event, these spots are almost certainly going to be swiftly occupied.

Those interested in taking part are asked to complete the following application form: https://forms.gle/oUBgLpVAqZxLAZQi9

1 YEAR - 1 CHANCE - 22 FAMILIES

Help create Brighter Futures for families in 2022

ONE YEAR. ONE CHANCE. 22 FAMILIES. This year, Brighter Futures has launched ‘22 Families in 2022’ a major fundraising campaign, with the target of raising £96,800 to help 22 further families to access our services.

Brighter Futures supports 170 families at any one time. It costs £4,400 per year to help one family, and to continue to provide this level of support, employ more key staff and open additional premises, we will need to raise approximately £900,000 in 2022.

Please donate to support a Brighter Futures family brighterfutures.org.je/donate

effects of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that we had to start a waiting list for our services, as the number of families referred rose beyond our capacity. The #22Families campaign is a direct response to this need.

We do not charge for our services to ensure that the help we provide is as accessible as possible.

WHITE COLLAR DARTS 2021 It is fair to say White Collar Darts propelled for the bullseye, and rustled up quite the darting storm last year!

The extraordinary energy, the electric atmosphere, the most unbelievable walk-ons and of course, the darts, that left the 500 strong audience tantalised at every piece of tungsten thrown.

Magic!

Never did we ever think we’d witness quite the conglomeration conglomeration of pirates, stormtroopers and the cast of The Greatest Showman in a small corner of Trinity, but that was certainly the case! Furthermore, the aim of Brighter Futures is to

directly support the community of Jersey.

Through White Collar Darts we not only encapsulated the essence of our community but the money raised helped benefit many families within our Island community. It was an outstanding success and roll on October! Want to relive the action from last year’s incredible event?

OFFICIAL PARTNERS

I

n orchestrating White Collar Darts, we are delighted to have the best darts players across the Island working with us in coaching our participants for the evening - they will form the fundamental pivot which sees our amateur players progress throughout the two month period. Their passion to get darts reaching a broader audience is infectious and we have included a statement from the JDO in relation to the event.

“The Jersey Darts Organisation is not only delighted but privileged to have been asked by Brighter Futures to be involved in this wonderful event. The sport of darts has modernised and matured from the stereotypes of the 70’s and 80’s into the multimillion pound juggernaut we are treated to on our televisions almost every week. It is the energy and razzmatazz of modern darts that makes it the perfect fit for a White Collar event.

We are confident that this event will be a great success for Brighter Futures and look forward to it becoming a staple in the annual events calendar. It is also our hope this will generate more interest and support for Darts in Jersey.

We wish the players the very best of luck.”.

The JDO is the governing body for the Sport of Darts in Jersey and represents in the region of 200 local players, who compete on a regular basis in the affiliated league systems.

SPONSORSHIP / CONTACT

PLAYER FEEDBACK

There are a number of sponsorship opportunities through White Collar Darts in which you can support families in Jersey with Brighter Futures. Whether this be through advertising your company in our dedicated “flight night” magazine or sponsoring one of our prizes.

Commitment Required The commitment seems daunting at first but don’t let that put you off, having a full time job and part time business I found it helpful to make time to stop from work commitments and enjoy some hilariously fun practice nights.

Initial and Final Expectations Initial expectations..that I would be absolutely rubbish and make a fool of myself.. my final expectations were exactly as expected lol! Who knew I would be wearing a Cobra Kai Darts shirt and kung fu kicking down an aisle to Everyone was Kung Fu Fighting!!!

Friendships Formed So many friendships made, my coach Dave (still in contact, we were texting just last night) and darts partner met on a regular basis sometimes twice a week at the club or the Shipwright pub (so funny) and had so much fun..all the trainers made me feel so welcome, I would often stay at the club when people left to carry on chatting and practicing with the trainers ..all the contestants.. what a great bunch too.

Event Management The management and organisation of the event was out of this world!

Both Sharon and Gareth put 100% in and you would often see them at practice nights getting involved too and as for Jude on the night directing everyone and looking after us all..just fab all round. They make an amazing team.

For further details/information please contact: info@islandfever.je s.betts@brighterfutures.org.je

Where we will be on hand to answer your questions and get back to you as soon as possible.

The Evening Itself What can I say..was not expecting that! It was out of this world spectacular...even better than what you see on TV. One of the most entertaining nights ever! As a player the anxiety of getting up on stage soon went with the encouragement of the crowd, the walk in music and the alcohol served backstage! I think I had ten pink gins before I went up..but it was needed!

The Atmosphere On The Evening Pumping ! Magical and magnificent!

Just a crazy night that I’m so proud to have been asked to be involved in. The photos and videos of the night always make me smile.

The Overall Experience Just amazing, if you get the chance do not let it pass! I’ve never thrown a dart before! I snapped a steel dart in practice ...yet I’ve just bought more professional darts for just in case purposes. It is very addictive ...I played darts all the way throughout the first lockdown!
