Good venue, good parking quite central.

Thinking of doing another event in a couple of months, please let me know which people are interested in and would attend?

1 A Race Night
2 A tribute band night
3 Casino night
4 Quiz night
5 Magician, comeidian
6 Ladies night
7 Legends night.... ask 3 ex players down for a question and answer night
8 Other suggestions please(no strippers though)

Casino night sounds like a good idea

THANKS KEEP THE RESPONSES COMING

What is a Ladies Night - I thought they usually involved men removing clothing (ie strippers

)

What about a Mens night then.

Sportsmens / persons dinners usually raise a bit of money.

I would support any type of fundraiser, but would prefer ,Casino night, Race night or Quiz , no preference really .

Whatever anyone wants but not strippers

Friends of mine were in the Queens Arms just before Xmas and by chance they walked in on a Wii fund raising night.

Apparently the general gist of it was you paid a pound and entered a competition, 50% to winner and 50% to the charity, they played bowls, hula-hoop, tennis, the heading game, the dance/step thingy etc.

They said it was something a little different, and good laugh, don’t know how successful it was as a fundraiser.

You can hire the big tv and wii...... a mates wedding had one last year, it was good fun.

Or just use a DVD projector and a screen, and surely someone has a Wii?

i have

Raffle/Walk

People wont come in enough numbers for events at night, one exception could be a Ladies night featuring the players.

Did I mention it was a naked Wii event.

I had a few the other night after several beers

I'm a long standing member of Leigh Harriers and could ask the committee about a joint event with LISA to raise funds, they have a brilliant social room and are excellent at organising fun runs etc.

We could incorporate an event with the players during pre season training a fun run with your heroes , the kids might love that and I'm sure lots of adults would too,we could award the 1st player home with a LISA trophy.Get all the local rugby clubs to join in and award a prize to the club who finishes with most runners in the top 20.

Just an idea but why not use an excellent club and brilliant co (around the Flash) to get some funding,Andy Burnham loves running and I'm sure he would join in if time permits.

sounds like a good idea to me, let me know

I'm away all week but will speak to the secretary ASAP and give you all some feedback.
