AUCTION
OF PROMISES
It is planned at the mid-summer social event on 8th July to
have an 'Auction of Promises', that will be a combined fund raising
event between the cricket club and Air Ambulance.
The aim is for each player/member to send out approx. 20
letters each to possible sources of donation. These can either be local
tradesman, local businesses or individuals that have a gift or a donation that
would be of benefit to others at auction. For example: I have sent out 20
x letters to local DIY, mobile phone and electrical stores in
Alternatively, local tradesman as opposed to the larger
stores such as butchers, garages and pubs may be a better proposition to seek
contributions.
Below, are just some examples of the areas of activity where
letters could be distributed to. However, to
avoid any duplication of letters going to the same place it might be helpful if
you could let Ray or myself know the area/town you will be targeting, so
that we can cover as many areas as possible, and others will not be wasting
their time and effort through duplication.
Around the 2nd week of June Ray or I will be contacting you
to round up all of the donations to input into an online catalogue, which
will be circulated for prior viewing before the event.
Any comments or suggestions about the fund raising activity
would be gratefully received, if not, please do your stuff...
Many thanks
Bill.
