The sugestion of making it a 'casino' night is a good one, however the costs etc are high and the whole idea is to make money for ASFC.
I think we would struggle to get 100 people to a casino night and even if we managed that we would only be able to cover our costs therefore negating any fundraising oportunities.
Upto press there are 22 players attending the poker night,and even with the prize money taken off we are making £120 for the club, as this is going to be a monthly night, assuming that everyone returns each month, that would mean £1340 bieng donated to the club.
Granted not everyone will be able to or indeed wish to attend every month, however the first event only attracted 12 players and already we are on the way to filling this months, I dont see too much difficulty in filling seats in the coming months!
Please dont think I am dismissing Maccas idea, far from it, its just that the initial outlay would be very high with no guarantee of recouping it, that said I will hapilly mention it at the next supporters club meeting and see what the general feeling is.
In the meantime how about you join us on the 30th Macca/Borderman,who knows you might even win..............
