Re: fundraising

Hi,

well done kerrie !!

often used fundraising idea’s

– open days
– tabletop sales
– sponsored whatever
– car boot sales
– online auctions
– online “dog shows”

If you want to go for least outlay and least organising then – do something personal (walk round the island on stilts or something else mad ??) and get ppl to sponsor you.  Then you just need to collect sponsors and you could publicise your “starting point” on local radio and drum up a few more sponsors there ?

or

An online dog show – you can have classes just like a regular compaion dog show
e.g.

have grouped together classes for pedigrees

think about what breeds we have on the board – could you do AV Sporting / AV Non Sporting or would you need to split them down further (e.g. there are tons of pastorals and hpfr dogs on here – well it always seem so !!)

maybe get some affixed judges to just make it a bit more “official” … we have a few 😀

and some fun for anyone

prettiest bitch
handsome dog
best brace
best NI brace
best movement (video)
best trick (video)
most obedient
best “out-take” (coz i bet there’ll be some crackers for a giggle)
best poopie
best litter (maybe must be KC + tested etc …)

that sort of thing anyway – pay i dunno £1 per class and for instance – give “virtual” rosettes for 1-3 place that ppl can take away to put on their signatures on whatever forum they’re on or print and put in the rosette cupboard – say maybe something like you’ll get the lady who did my drawings to do a cameo of BIS as they are excellent and a reasonable outlay as a big prize ?

for open days – alot of people have tabletop stuff and carboots aswell £5 for a car £8 for a van is the going rate here if they have some land.  you need to organise a time (that might clash with something big on the island to get ppl in) place (near alot of ppl) and businesses to come – encourage anyone local say they can have a stall there for £5 (maybe £3 for local to encourage them) plus a donation to the rescue ?

just some thoughts …..
