GP Sponsor

I've been in touch with the Airgun Centre, Rayleigh, who have agreed to put a raffle prize up at our GP. However, some of the proceeds must go to the charity "Help for Heroes". Peter Zamit, the owner, has promised a substantial prize, will find out next week what it is.

Cool, good stuff.

How much is 'some'?

Have the Airgun Centre got a banner we can borrow to hang up at the GP?

[nat]

Excellent stuff!! I thought it might be worth contacting them

Spoke to Peter Zamit at the Airgun Centre who, very kindly, is providing gift vouchers for £300 and £200 (to be spent at the A.C.). I suggest we raffle these off at the GP and preceding weeks to club members as well as GP shooters. I can obtain raffle tickets which could hold the recipients contact details (name and phone number only possibly). I need to know how much we should charge. The majority of the proceeds must go to "Help for Heroes" charity. Let me have your thoughts please. I will be picking the vouchers up next Saturday.

I'd say a £1 isn't enough but a £5 would be too much. Perhaps somewhere in the middle??

[GerryW]

I'd say £2 a ticket - but then, if you were to charge £1 a ticket, how many would have £5 or £10 worth?

[Bazza]

The club has decided to offer the raffle tickets at £1.50 each or £5 a strip of five, thereby promoting the sale of more tickets. Tickets are now available with 3 prizes! First is £300, second £200 and third £100. The prizes can be spent in the Airgun Centre, Rayleigh on any items the winners wish. Our thanks must go to the sponsors.

great put me down for a tenners worth!

[Bazza]

Good girl.

[Bazza]

Many thanks to all those who contributed to the Help for Heroes charity. First was Wendy Abbott, second Rob Walker and third Todd. The total collected is £281.00 not a terrific amount when you consider the prizes on offer. What are your views on the club donating a small sum, after all, we are a garrison town with one of our members in the forces. Let me know what you think.

[Lofty]

Fine by me. No problem.

Chris.

[nat]

Yeah no problemo

[SteveC]

Yup, ok.

[RONALDO]

Spot on.I agree.

How much? Make it up to £350, what do you think.

[nat]

Got my vote, its a worthy cause in my opinion and its nice to give something back now and then

[SteveC]

How much did we make from our GP? £400 and something wasnt it? How about adding that 'something' to the HfH total so we keep a round £400.

[Todd]

Sounds good to me.
