Comic Relief - 2011

[Justin]

Hi everyone,

As many of you will remember, exactly a year ago we raised £500 for Comic Relief, a fantastic achievement. Well, it's here again and I'd very much like us to take part, hopefully raising more money than we did in 2010.

I've emailed PayPal with regards to the fees for charity fund raising as we had problems with them last year and I want to put something in place to avoid this happening again.

I would welcome any ideas anyone has, last years virtual raffle for the mug press (very kindly donated by BMS) was a great success and I'm hoping we can replicate this and maybe do even more. I'd love to raise £1000 this year but appreciate that it's probably been a very tough year for many of us so anything we can do would be great.

I'd appreciate any input/comments you may have.

Thank you,
Justin

Mrs. Maggot had a good idea with puting pictures up and gess who is who? Picture entry would cost a fiver or tenner. Raffle for some press would be nice too. But this ned to be donated by somone. Maybe couple boxes of qualuty mugs? 10 for entry and somone may get bargain box of mugs

how about a "hamper" see if all of the companies we deal with might be willing to put some samples together for the winner, BMS gave such a fantastic prize last year but they really should not be asked to do again, so if all of our suppliers put together a nice box off samples the winner would get a fantastic prize. sorry not been about to get the photo thing off the ground, perhaos there was too much going on in peoples lives this year to get involved ??? anyway home now, so lets see what we can get started
