So I mentioned this on Wednesday when we were all in and I told Sam just a moment ago but I figure it's best I get word out myself. So, I can't go to dodgeball tomorrow. I am gonna be at my Dad's all evening because he's going away for Christmas with his wife so I won't see him till around new years.
Gotta go have a meal, exchange gifts etc. Sorry Dan I know people have been dicking you about with this thing but, Family takes priority.
On another note when I was speaking to Sam about fund raising and I think I mentioned it to you already but if we did a fun run or bike ride like Simons idea we could get people to sponsor us for however far it would be. e.g. 10 miles and say that 70% of the proceeds go to a charity or however much after we raise what we need goes to a charity. That way everyone can take a signiture form and get people from all around where they live. People would be more willing to help if a charity is involved I reckon. So if everyone gets around 100 signitures and is sponsored for like 3-5 quid for all 10 miles then it's like 300-500 per person multiplied by 30 odd and it's quite a lot. Even after giving most of it to charity. That's a best case scenario of course 100 signitures may be asking a lot, but I reckon it could potentially raise a fair bit.
I don't know exactly how it would work but if you contact a charity like cancer research or some such you can probably say "I want to organise an event to raise money for your institution (while skimming a bit off the side) blah blah blah" and maybe they have official forms for it or whatever so that you can show people on their doorstep.
Hope that appeases you somewhat. Sorry again.
Merry Christmas one and all.
