any ideas?
 

I NEED HELP!!!!!

But then most of you knew that anyway!:rolleyes:

I want to do something sponsored for the supporters club to help them raise money for the club.:)

Unfortunately I am at a loss for ideas, which hopefully is where you lot come in.

Has anybody any ideas for something i can do (please be sensible as i won't be stripping or climbing everest!!!:rolleyes: )

I was originally considering walking to halifax but as it's on boxing day this year there is no way I'm missing out in christmas dinner!!!

The main thing is for it to cost a minimum but bring in the maximum money wise. So the ball is in your court, I am hereby open for suggestions!!!



Right so far the suggestions are :-

1. A sponsored sit at the ground
2. Slave for a day auction
3. A sponsored walk from the ground of the away team to the IES
4. A Supporters club football halftime challenge
5. A total body shave
6. A climb of the floodlight pylons

Re: any ideas?

Re: any ideas?

What about a sponsered sit in every seat at the Interlink Express Stadium.Which basically means you have to sit in every seat.You'd be done in 10 mins,lol.No only kidding.I think people would go for that idea.

Re: any ideas?
 

sponsor me not to post double ????????? sorry sparkie

Re: any ideas?
 

When I noticed there was 2 pages on this thread I thought Whoo!!! by gum Sparkie there must be some good ideas here, then I started to read it and find a load of crap passing between Accystanmac & shiny gem for most of the thread and only a couple of ideas.

Accystanmac, shinygem please go in achatroom if you want to have a conversation between yourself and leave this thread for people who want to put positive replies to the question asked.

Re: any ideas?
 

thanks bottletop. Must admit i thought the same, unfortunately i was greeted with the thread being made into a joke.

I need serious suggestions people, and i'm not afraid of a little physical exertion!!!(i climbed snowdon earlier this year).

Come on tell me your ideas!!!

Re: any ideas?
 

Re: any ideas?
 

how goods your cooking??? what about a bake sale???

Re: any ideas?
 

Re: any ideas?
 

Climbing up and down all six floodlight pylons and the camera gantry within a specified time?

Re: any ideas?
 

get few people dres up as babys and do the amerilla dance down broadway

Re: any ideas?
 

How about a football challenge which could double up as half-time entertainment at a Stanley home game as well as providing a decent crowd from which collections can be made?

Re: any ideas?
 

you can check the bulbs whilst your up there :p

Re: any ideas?
 

what about a sponsored roof build ? :D

Re: any ideas?
 

A sponsored walk from the ground of the next team that Stanley are playing at home?Providing it's not too far and done in stages.

Re: any ideas?
 

id be up for that!!!!why not Morecambe????

lets do it

Re: any ideas?
 

If not Morecambe, how about Southport later this season or from Altrincham when they next play us at the IES? Alternatively, the sponsored sit on every seat sounds interesting, you only have 1200 to go at. How about enrolling others and do a drive about treasure hunt? I am certain there must be other good ideas.

Re: any ideas?
 

sponsered get in for kids price at every away game :)

Re: any ideas?
 

I would be up for the sponsored walk with ya sparkie. I also think that maybe a sponsored silence during home match with the ultras would be funny!!! ;)

Re: any ideas?
 

We could shave you from top to tail.;)

Re: any ideas?
 

I know, I know you ain't got a tail!

But everything- barnet/ brows/daisy.

I bet that would get the coffers rolling in, and if you do it I'll buy you a hat for when it snows.:)

Re: any ideas?
 

cotty i can't walk to morecambe for the game in a fortnight as there is not enough time to plan a route get accomodation for a over night stay, sort out sponsorship forms and more importatly to get people to sponsor me.

Also cant have those particular two days off coz someone else at work is on holidays!!!!

Great idea to walk from either alty, southport or morecambe for there matches at the IES. I hadn't thought to do it in reverse so to speak!!!

Also i will be very glad to take those of you up on the offer of some company while doing this, it would be much appreciated.

I am particularly interested in the sponsored sit in every seat suggestion as it has no outlay money wise and can be done in a single day. obviously you'd have to sit for a specified lenghth of time in each seat. plus quite a few of us could do this together and raise as much cash as possible.

Wynonnie i would love to climb the floodlight pylons but unfortunately they are covered in anti-vandal paint and also you need harnessess and safety gear coz they're over a certain height. Good suggestion though.

Whalley red the football challenge is a good idea but with the club already running a cross bar challenge i think it would interfere, however i will ask.

Outback Ozzy the supporters club are already in the process of organising a car treasure hunt the details of which will hopefully be available very soon. Mind reading!!

Also I think a bunch of us walking up and down broadway dressed as babies in nappies might not be in the best of tastes at the minute.

and finally to Garinda shaving every bit of hair off my body i don't have a quite as big a problem with as people requesting proof!!! I think UKCOWBOY may get a little upset at this!!!

Great Ideas people keep them coming!!!

Re: any ideas?
 

Good to see this thread back on track, however I don't see any apology from Accystanmac or Shinygem!!!

Whatever you choose to do Sparkie put me down for £5.

Re: any ideas?
 

How about a sponsored pub crawl? I'm sure you'd get plenty of people to join in. Or how about going to the seaside and doing a sponsored sandcastle build?

Stanleybabe :)

Re: any ideas?
 

What about a sponsored "climb", say from Accy town hall to the IES? I have'nt seen one done in ages and I don't recall one ever been done in Accy. You'll probably need a few others with you and you'll need to get climbing gear - ropes, helmets, etc but its lots of fun and you'll get lots of attention. The only drawback is you'll end up with sore knees and a sore belly from climbing the pavement and the kerb "overhang"; and of course, you will have the major obstacles of Broadway and lots of Accy dog sh*t to surmount.

Re: any ideas?
 

Sparkie,

At the recent Accrington Carnival you put in a lot of time and effort at both the Supporters' Club stall and the Accrington Ladies Football Club display.

Many of us were impressed with your fundraising for the Ladies by doing what you do well . . keeping goal !

It's simple, it's local and it's bound to raise funds with a minimum of planning or organisation.

If you wanted to make it more sophisticated you could choose between sponsorship (e.g. 'keeper marathon) , prize-kicking (i.e. pay for one's penalty shots and get a prize if , say, one gets five goals) , or novelty kicking (e.g. blindfold penalty kick, three-legged penalty kick, fancy dress penalty kick, set-piece header involving two opponents, and so on). Also, participants could buy a photo of their efforts if one of our many competent photographers was able to help.

There's plenty of grass around Livingstone Road , so you won't wear out any particular goal area !

Simplicity and speed of organisation are the keynotes here, though.

Good luck, whatever you do (and count me in with your other sponsors).

Re: any ideas?
 

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.

Re: any ideas?
 

cheers sheilagh.

A quiz night will be forthcoming very soon as i'm already half way through organising one as we speak. Should be sometime in November.

The race night idea is a good one and one Karen the commercial director came up with at the supporters club meeting on monday. I know a guy who does the ones with the old projector and screen and will find out how much he charges for a night.

The other race night idea is a good one too I will run this past the other members at the next meeting.

Cheers for those!

Re: any ideas?
 

Sparkie, thanks for the note about the Treasure Hunt, The race nite that shillelagh mentions with made up horses etc is easy, I can supply the large dice and I used to do it with a different theme with teddy bears. Same principal, but works just as well. Heaps of laughs are guaranteed. I will be at the match Satiurday and Tuesday. I still have all the equipment just need some form of working PA system and can be run in any club with a bit of a dance floor. Alternatively, PM me for more info.

Re: any ideas?
 

On the theme of betting, a couple of weeks ago I went to a casino night to raise money for our club. It worked quite well, you bought your chips on the way in and at the end of the night they had an auction where you paid in chips, if like me you had lost them in the evening you could buy more for the auction, but you couldn't cash them in for cash if you had any left. You need lots of volunteerers to be coupiers etc but it raised a lot of cash.

Re: any ideas?
 

sparkie this has gone down a storm in my local and has earned several thousand pounds for charity in the past, try MAGOT racing on the flat or over the jumps, it gets lots of interest as people just come to see the little critters do the biz, if you want more details pm me and i will give you my phone number and explain all to you
