Photo with Michael Clarke free, with cap $50
A Brisbane Catholic school has some of its flock in a flap after announcing a plan to charge kids $50 to have their photo taken with cricketing star Michael Clarke and his baggy green cap at their fete.
Clarke and fiancee Lara Bingle will attend the St Columba’s Primary School fete on August 2 in an appearance agreed upon through his manager Chris White, whose children attend the school.
And while pictures of the future Australian skipper without his sacred green cap will be free, a snap of Clarke and the child with the cap on is being sold for $50 – with all money going towards the construction of an outdoor, undercover sporting shelter for the school in Brisbane’s northern suburb of Wilston.
A representative from the St Columba’s Parents and Friends Association, Di Hempenstall, confirmed the arrangement yesterday, saying it had been given the green light by Clarke’s manager. (news)

It sounds fair enough to me. He is giving away pictures with himself for free so that those who can’t afford/don’t want to pay can at least have a photo and the $50 for those that want to wear the baggy green will have their money going to a cause.
