Okay i know this isnt sponsored but for a fundraiser here is a couple of ideas - a quiz nite and raffle (when i do it for my local school i normally raise around £300 you'd probably raise more than that) and a race night - with a difference! instead of booking someone do it yourself - all u need are 6 horses (broom handles and a bit of wood to make em stand up and paper horses head coloured in different colours), a couple of rolls of masking tape, and two dice (large dice), raffle tickets in 6 different colours and 5 people 1 to do the running commentary, 1 to do the betting workings out and 3 people to sell the raffle tickets. Then all u do is mark out your course we normally do it 1-30 and then u organise sponsors for the races - £10 for each race (name the race after the sponsor and they write the horses names) then on the nite you auction off each horse and the betting for us is normally 50p per raffle ticket get everybody betting on the horses (buying the raffle tickets) and then u get 2 people 1 to roll the dice for the number of horse thats going forward and the other to roll the other dice for how many moves it can go. The horse that wins is the horse that gets to 30 first but it must land on number 30 it cant have 4 spaces and roll 5 it has to land directly on that number. Its good fun especially when it gets later on at night and everybodys had a few to drink and u can raise a fair bit on that. Winners get a % of the takings say you've sold 6 horses at £10 each on one race the winning owner could get £30 then the people who have bet on the horse that wins they get a % back that is why you need someone who is mathematically inclined! You've got the room - the bar at the stanley and there is enough room there because i've done one there with a friend of mine.
