try your local county councillor .. now i know they used to get an allowance so much each year to help towards good causes .. i dont know if they still do ..

i got a autographed video from bernie ecclestone of the previous years F1 .. but make sure you reply telling him thank you for the donation and you've raised so much. I auctioned it off .. well i got two .. in separate yrs .. got £30 one year and £70 2 yr after.

make sure your (begging) letters are handwritten - you get a better response than being on a computer or typewritten. Good quality paper and envelopes.

Make sure after the fundraiser you send thank you cards with a letter inside .. thanking them for their donation and we raised this much .. it comes in handy for the following year.

try hollands - even if its pies they donate - you can put pie and peas on and charge em for it ...

local pubs, restaurants, garages, shops,

at the quiz night - do something else besides the quiz and a raffle .. play your cards right goes down a treat .. you can make a fortune on that. Get yourself a good quizmaster who's got gift of the gab ..

I did quizzes for the local school for 7 years and did all the organising .. but got someone else do read out the quiz and the play your cards right ..

good luck .. and if you post it on here you might get some more teams in your quiz ..
