Fund Raising Do
I am the President of Church Town Football Club.
We are planning to hold a fund-raising Do in November to boost Clubs Funds. Our last 'Do' was a 70's & 80's Theme. We are struggling to come up with a theme for our next fund-raising Do and I was wondering if anyone had an ideas? ??? |
Re: Fund Raising Do
Night do or daytime?
For everyone or just adults? Where do you hold your events by the way? Quiz nights always go down well. When people know its a fund raiser, they aren't usually bothered about a fancy prize. Most folk just like the kudos of winning! How about a talent contest? Doesn't have to be singing, could be anything! People like to show off! Done this a couple of times to raise funds for the Boys' Brigade. My boys won last time with a comedy sketch. What about a Stars in Their Eyes theme? Not to be taken too seriously - could be a laugh. eg you as Kylie! Where do you play by the way? |

Re: Fund Raising Do
it will be a night Do and we tend to stick to adults only.
our last fund-raising 'Do' was held at King Street WMC and was a really enjoyable night - although we will be looking for another venue after receiving their 'price' last night. it was suggested that we have a 'Spanish' Theme but a couple of the Committee Members werent that keen on the idea. at the moment we play on Council owned pitches but we are looking to find our 'own pitch' for the future. ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
as for Kylie - i see myself more as a Madonna!!!
:o |
Re: Fund Raising Do
Are these events open to anybody?
If so put the event on the calendar, just might come! By the way, seen your piccy, would still like to see you as Kylie [smiley=lol.gif] |

Re: Fund Raising Do
compliments work all the time cazzer - cheers ;D
as for the Fund-Raising Do - it is open to anybody, we normally charged £3 for a ticket but that includes either a buffet or supper (whichever one we are doing). our last Do raising us over £600 after cost which enabled us to set up our Saturday Team for the forthcoming season. we managed to sell nearly 300 tickets. ps: we did you find my picture? :) |
Re: Fund Raising Do
On the website
:) :) |
Re: Fund Raising Do

i'll keep you posted on what's happening with the Do and i will put it on the Calender when everything is confirmed. i reckon i could be a good Spice Girl.................... |
Re: Fund Raising Do

|
Re: Fund Raising Do

Re: Fund Raising Do

Re: Fund Raising Do

|
Re: Fund Raising Do

Re: Fund Raising Do

|
Re: Fund Raising Do
the football team my hubby's involved in has fundraising doo ever year, this year it was the full monty....done in drag!!!!! what a riot, we didn't stop laughing all night we sold tickets for $10 which included a buffet, just sarnies and salad, easy to do then 2 guys did the blues brothers, then they did the monty down to just g-string's but bought from a sex shop so where different novolties. it was a brill night! they also had a 50/50 draw which boosted the funds!
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
sounds like it could be fun
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
they sound like a great laugh.
although im not sure you'd want to see half of our players doing the 'full monty' (sorry lads)!!!! ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
i would come and watch you could not miss that for the world ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
you might not miss it for the world but i reckon you could be mentally scared for life!!!! :-[
;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
Some how i agree with you there ;D
think it would be worth it though :P |
Re: Fund Raising Do
Cheeky!!
But if we where to generate so much interest it looks like it will happen. Dont know whether to laugh or cry...................... |
Re: Fund Raising Do
you know you want to, so when you going to break the news to the lads :)
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
A good idea to raise funds is to get a book of raffle tickets from 1 to 500. To enter you draw a ticket out of a bag, if you draw number 1 you pay 1p, if you draw number 250 you pay £2.50, if you draw number 500 you pay £5.00. The number you draw is the number you have for the raffle. When all the tickets are gone you will have nearly £1200, you then draw from the stubs the winning number. We had either £300 first prize or a £300 tv, this way its a decent prize and you get £900 profit, simple but it works!
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
well we have a game tomorrow morning so i'll break the news to them then.
just hope thats the only 'breaking' that takes place tomorrow. in fact i'd better get changed in the car cos i can see them nicking my clothes when i go for a shower........... |
Re: Fund Raising Do
who you playing tomorrow and where? [smiley=silly.gif]
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
Cheers for that accringtonrl - thats a great idea.
As for the game tomorrow we are playing the Dog Inn from Whalley. The games is at Higham's Playing Fields (Next to Accrington Cricket Club) with the kick-off at 10.30am. Why are you coming to watch? ??? |
Re: Fund Raising Do
might do before pubs open [smiley=cheers.gif]
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
exactly - thats why we play football, its an excuse to go to the pub on a Sunday Dinner!!
problem is though we do tend to stay out................ :) |
Re: Fund Raising Do
know what you mean! :o
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
Let me put this into a bit of perspective for you, it's what we call the old farts league, none of them where under 40! so no spring chickens if you know what I mean although one guy's g-string was a chicken!!!!!
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
over 40's League?
i bet that was a right scene - still as long as everyone enjoyed it!! |
Re: Fund Raising Do
it was a riot! one guy actually dieted for about 6 month's before and lost about 40lbs!
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
40lbs?
he certainly made an effort then. we have a committee meeting next week so we will have to decide what we are doing. i'll keep you all posted. :) |
Re: Fund Raising Do
have you decided what you doing yet for the fun night looking forward to that got a quite a few female friends to come to the do let us know
cheers ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
cheers tracey - the more the merrier!!!
im speaking to our 'Events Co-ordinator' tomorrow, he has managed to draw up a few plans. he's even told me that he might have a live band to do a set - though dont quote me on that. one thing we are struggling for though is a venue at the moment - but im off work friday so i'll probably be able to sort something. |
Re: Fund Raising Do
what about king street pub they have a large room dont know what they charge
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
we used King Street for our last Themed Do but unfortunately when we asked for a quote this time the prices have increased astronomically.
they wanted a £100 Deposit and you had to have their food at which they where charging £3 per head for a pie and peas supper. :( |
Re: Fund Raising Do
will let you know if i can think of anywhere else what about pop club?
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
cheers tracey.
we are going to enquire about Pop Club - we were thinking of Enfield but we think it may be a bit too small. :o |
Re: Fund Raising Do
when do you plan to have this do then?
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
the plan is (fingers crossed) to have the Do between the middle and end of November.
which doesnt really give us much time to organise ticket printing etc. |
Re: Fund Raising Do
i'm sure you will cope a man with your talent ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
cheers tracey.
i wish i had your confidence - though once we find a venue everything else should take care of itself. then its getting the people through the doors!! :D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
well count me in will be a laugh! :o
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
******!!! :(
I am away from 15th november until middle december. If it's earlier than 15th, I'm up for it, and some of my mates may come too. ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
see adi all the accrington forum will be there, all the females anyway [smiley=alc.gif]
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
looks as though i might have to consider making the Do early November.
especially if all the lovely Forum Ladies are coming!! ::) ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
you smooth talker adi, are you out saturday to watch england game at 5.30pm? [smiley=alc.gif]
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
unfortunately my better half is used to it now - so its like water off a ducks back!!!
as for the England Game - i'll be in the Abbey around 4.00pm cos we have a game that afternoon but im not sure where we are watching England yet. |
Re: Fund Raising Do
might see you out then, we are popping in abbey around 4.30 ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
So I take it your going for the monty then? well I hope I get a mention on the night for suggesting it since I'm a bit far away and can't make it :'( :'( :'(
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
Watched the Full Monty again last night. Maybe Adi's seen it and changed his mind ;D
Could always do a Half Monty ;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
Half Monty does seem more appealing than the Full Monty for some reason!!
;D |
Re: Fund Raising Do
you trying to get out of it adi! ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
yeah - trying very hard!!!
seriously though our 'Events Co-ordinator' thinks we are having a 50's & 60's Rock 'n' Roll night in which he's in talks with a band to do a set aswell. thats the plan anyway - i'll know more tomorrow as we are meeting tonight. :) |
Re: Fund Raising Do
you found somewhere to have this do yet? the oaklea have a room!
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
we are going round to a few places tonight to price up the cost.
i'll pop in to the Oaklea then and see what they say. cheers |
Re: Fund Raising Do
let me know how you get on adi ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
how you get on with finding a room adi? ;D
|
Re: Fund Raising Do
i tried phoning the Pop Club, Brooks Club and the Oaklea yesterday afternoon but couldnt get an answer from any of them.
fortunately though my brother and his mate are off work today and they are going round different venue's pricing them up. so i should know more by tonight. |
Re: Fund Raising Do
let me know thanks ;D
could always have it in the park :o |
Re: Fund Raising Do
