Welcome to the DFSW Club

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

 

 

DFSW means Direct Funding Supporters of our Work

HOW TO JOIN

Join the DFSW Club via Patreon, a platform designed to help fans like you support ‘creatives’ like me.

Patreon is kind of like an ongoing ‘kick-starter’ for creators. In return, CONTACT offers rewards to our very valuable DFSW Club members – from a simple thank you to public acknowledgement below and in CONTACT magazine – or a CONTACT pen to a CONTACT coffee-table yearbook.

Membership of the DFSW Club is only available via Patreon – except for advertisers who pay by PayPal, and get 10% discount in the process (see here for details)

.

The following people are proud members of the…

CONTACT DFSW Club:

 

VVIP members:

David Tatler of Ermington, NSW, joined us on 19 November 2017 as a very high-ranking member. Incredibly, however, David is not an advertiser and not looking for advertiser rewards.
I’m doing this as an interested citizen. Both my brothers were Nasho’s (John, my eldest brother, did Vietnam) and my dad served in the Royal Navy during WW2. Keep up the great work.

Thank you David – you are truly an officer and a gentlemen.

.

Raymond Yeow of Sydney, NSW, was a ‘CONTACT Corporal’ for six months before promoting himself to the heavy-hitter ranks on 10 September 2018. And again, this is an individual – a CONTACT fan – who wants nothing more than to support CONTACT.

Raymond, this level of support is, in equal measures, gobsmacking in its generosity and encouraging in the extreme. Thank you sir.

Aaron Bonnett of Waroona, WA, was our first US$20 man, enlisting on 1 March 2018, upgrading to this top tier on 16 February 2019.

Aaron, you’re a superstar – supporting us for months at the VIP level, then upgrading yourself to the VVIP tier because the expensive Yearbook you bought from our shop was so good. I’m gobsmacked and very very grateful.
Aaron also invented the hashtag #DFSWVIP – which I like and Aaron is 😉

 

VIP Members 

George Hulse of St Lucia, Queensland, jumped in to this support bracket on 3 October 2018. George served in several countries overseas during a 20-year career in the Corps of Royal Australian Engineers – and we are honoured to welcome him into our little club.

Warren Stickens of Wentworthville, NSW, joined us on 1 January 2019. Happy New Year Warren, and thank you for your very generous support.

.
