FUNDRAISING IDEA - JUMBLE SALE ?

[Johnny]

How do people feel about staging a Jumble Sale - to raise money for our club funds, and perhaps to raise some money for a good cause?
A hall would cost about £25.00 to hire, and it will be an excellent way to get memb.ers "pulling together" in a worthwhile, common cause.
Kitty & I are in the process of helping out with a local Jumble Sale, and are currently experiencing how to run one successfully.

A Jumble Sale would give us publicity, and would also possibly attract new memb.ers?
I would propose that the venture be run in conjunction with another group - purely because we do not have the amount of people in our club that could man the event on the day, and to distribute the leaflets in the first place - which would request good, sale-able jumble.

What do you guys think?

A jumble sale would be a good idea to raise money, it's just a question of when and who would help out. I would love to say that i could 100% be involved but at the moment it's kinda difficult for me personally . But I think we do have enough of us to pull it off. Really we just need everyones ideas... i think maybe have a committie meeting or a genearl meeting or both ..to put around ideas.. but also to maybe think of possible things to do next yr? I dunno we have a nice group forming so .... i dunno tell us what u think everybody don't be shy

I think any idea that will raise money for club funds, to keep the club running is a good idea. like BB said we have a good group forming who would be supportive of what ever ideas are put forward. You can count on all 4 of the howe family to help out in anyway we can. A jumble sale sounds like a good money spinner, as long as i dont have to take home what we dont sell cos we have enough jumble of our own.

Well, Kitty and I have been acquiring experience on organising a Jumble Sale by being joint organisers of one in Norwich - which will be held on Saturday 30th July at the Eaton Parish Hall, Colman Rd, Norwich, from 2.00pm (..... I know ......... a shameless "plug" eh!).

Anyway, we know how to run one, but we know that we would really need a team of about ten people to promote and run it.

We'll have a chat about it at the next club night (Mon 8th Aug), and will keep this thread running on here to see how many others are interested.

[Sara]

We're interested! Count us in for helping out

[Franky]

We're interested too just depends on date and time.

October might be an idea?
Not too close to Christmas, and not in a "busy" time.

[Franky]

Yeah october is a good time but we never know what we're doing until nearer the time so i shall say yes but can't guarantee it!
