Fundraising Ideas

[amallon]

We have been organising our Jigs for 3 weeks now.  We are 7 couples paired off and are hoping for 1 or 2 more.  We have a non dancer paired with someone from a dancing background.  The people with dance background were hard to find.  Pairing them off was difficult, hopefully now that that is done things will start to take shape.

Dundrum ran a Live Pig Racing Event coupled with a Family Funday a couple of weekends ago. By all accounts it was unbelieveably successful.

Lads any new ideas coming up on the fundraising front?  We are doing Jigs and Reels in November but need to be thinking of something else for the new year.  Has anyone done "Who wants to be a thousandaire" recently?  This thread was dated in 07 when things economically a bit better.  I wonder if it would still draw the crowds?

We have had two x-factors which both did well but the second wasn't as successfull as the first.

Aye our club ran it back at the start of the summer and made a nice few bob on it... lot of work involved but good way to raise money and a serious night's craic too

Am I right in thinking Clann na Gael in Lurgan have a boxing thing this weekend?

There is a boxing night on this weekend, but it is in Armagh City Hotel

It features boxers from many of the clubs around the county fighting against each other

£30 a ticket, not too bad for what should be a good nights entertainment especially if there is a boxer from your club fighting

Funny that this should be mentioned, was flicking through the paper today and noticed about one of these boxing nights coming up at another venue. Had a look at the card to see how many lads I knew were boxing on it and noticed that one of our more esteemed board members was on the card!

Neither of those lads, although I'd say it'll be a case of form an orderly queue if the opportunity did arise. 

I think Ricey was to be fighting Shane Goan in a similar event, I'd say it's off now as it's before the County Final

We done the jigs and reels in our club back in august, i can honestly say it was one of the best nights we've ever had in the club, capacity crowd of about 580-600 on the night. we had 13 couples paired off a dancer with a non-dancer. took about 11 weeks rehearsals for it to come off well, but was well worth it in the end.

Folks, im intriqued by this "who wants to be a thousandaire" idea.

Perhaps someone who had helped run an event like this before could provide us with some more information on it. How it works, cost ect

Best one I cam across last year was the Armagh Raceday run by Magee  Events from Newry- most impressive but big numbers needed.

[the waffler]

Highly recommended though be warned a there's a lot of work involved.....if you decide to go with it and if you listen to the advice these guys give you you could make 30 grand on this.
