I know there was a topic on this already, but I can't find it so apologies.
Anyhow, we are trying to do the fundraiser where the pitch is marked off into squares, and a ball is dropped from a helicopter/cow shite in the field whatever. So far so good. I know some people have run it whereby they print off all the square references in scratch card format, and you buy a scratch card to reveal 'your' square.
We want to try and extend it to our diaspora, and therefore host it online from our club web page. Has anyone done anything like that before, and if so did ye write bespoke software, or did ye use some sort of off the shelf app customised?
Basically we'd like to show a picture of the pitch, and allow people to pay online, while at the same time allowing for the physical scratch cards to be sold in shops etc. Any ideas?

Is this 'a thing'?
Haven't got my head around exactly what ur aim is, are you talking hundreds or thousands of tickets? At a cost of €1/2 or something more substantial?

These boys provide online services but not exactly sure if they are what you need.
How about dropping a cow out of a helicopter, that'd be a novel take on it
That's cruel.
It'd be better to have the cow in the helicopter shitting out the door.

If the cow in question was Katie Hopkins it wouldnt be cruel at all.
Any new ideas floating about? Strictly, boxing etc are all a bit played out now.
Also, any good small fundraisers? Ran a golden goal one there lately. £10 per ticket. It's an easy £500. Heads and tails at a dinner dance is another easy one.
Would love to run 3 big fundraisers next year and 10 of the smaller £500/600 ones.
We did a night at the dogs. Money for Jam. People sponsor a dog for €50. The track give you tickets for €10 a head, and you keep €6. 13 races x 6 dogs x 50€ = 3,900 before you ever sell a ticket.
Ballinamere durrow in offaly have a very simple one, Promote a concert . they have the HIGH Kings in the Tullamore court hotel 20th January 2017. a lot of work goes into tickets ,they did it last year as well and made a packet. could be a real money maker if a club had its own facilities.
Night at the Dogs is easy to make money on
all the sponsorship makes a lot of money before anything is even run
I've heard of LipSyncs bringing in good money.
Same with a Monster Bingo night
Clubs need a continuous 50/50 draw or something to have a steady stream of income.
People don't like being hit for event after event
Lip Sync seems to be the new Strictly. Come Dine with me as well
Anyone ever run one of those buy a brick projects where you can buy a engraved brick with your name on it for a wall or path?

We're looking at that one at the moment as well, £100 per p***k is the price they're talking.
The Golf Classic was King during the boom and now that we are back baby, they seem to be going again.
The foot golf is another bit of craic.
On a curve ball I saw something where Sallins GAA in Kildare had a special brew beer. there is a really nice pub beside their pitch that does all craft beers so I assume they tied in with them.
Plenty of the smaller brewers are open to doing business and it was more than likely just a new label. Now I know in some clubs drink doesn't officially mix but many clubs are sponsored by pubs so that is a good link if ye do a deal with them.
Queen of Harts Drawing makes money!!

Chicago GAA is also doing this.

Our community is doing this at the minute. Great idea to gather up significant funds to begin this sort of project. Most people going for £100 a brick and you can pay via 10x £10 direct debit which negates the need to fork out £100 in one go.
