cemetary Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Hi All, Looking for any ideas on the best way to get the ball rolling with this, what i have up for grabs is, one weeks holiday in Egypt, all the money will go to Allymac, and he can forward this onto the fund as normal. There is a guy at my work who has a place over in Egypt, he donated one week to the childrens xmas raffle held on the rig, i managed to scrounge another week of him for the Phoebe appeal, mind he is a Cunningham, as well, so we arent all tight as you think, i havent got any dates from him yet, so i hope i will get them when i get back this time. All you will have to do is pay yer flight, and take spending money with you. I have seen the place, and it looks gorgeous, so once i get the dates from him, i will let you all no, this will run for as long as i could, to get the most money for the appeal. So any ideas all. Dougie.
ally mac Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Well done again Dougie, brilliant!!!!!!!!! Quite fancy Egypt myself.

Ian McKay Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Well done Dougie that is a very generious offer What better a recomendation than the one from Rose
Guest anto Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 well done mate sounds great what a great thing 4 your mate 2 do just might have a go
jimmy white Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 well done,, sounds a great generous offer
cemetary Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Posted January 9, 2009 There you go guys, if you are looking for a good cheap holiday for one week, i will have more details when i get back next week, so i will keep you all updated.
Guest VINNIE Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 great offer mate you could run a bonus ball competition sell 49 balls say for £50 per bonus ball raises £2450 just an example chance to win a weeks holiday for £50 just a thought draw would take place on national tv for everyone to see whatever you chose top offer
cemetary Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks Ryan, Vinnie, good way to go mate, but at the end of the day, if we got people to support your suggestion i would be happy enough to run this the way you have said. even £20 per bonus ball, that still gives the Phoebe fund £980, would the forum guys go for that. What we need is the guys to let me no what way is the best way to run this, again if we didnt get the 49 balls sold on here, i will give the guys at work a shot of this. Dougie.

Maybe a few more could post what they think would be a good price to sell the bonus balls for. Al.
cemetary Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 Al, If this was the way to go, i would like to keep this to the members on pigeon basics, simply for the guys to get a good enough holiday for the sake of £20 per bonus ball. So come on guys, let me no what your thoughts and ideas are for this.

ALF Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 £20 a shot sounds good and it looks like you would get them all away but maybe better to get flight prices from 3 or 4 airports around the UK once the dates are set and that lets everyone know what they will be paying IF THEY WON THE HOLIDAY THAT IS 8) 8)
cemetary Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 If i was to get all the names of the 49 guys who would buy one, then once i get all the cash in, i would let all no when the draw would be done, what week, either by PM or by phone. Archie keep £20 from yer Blackpool money, and let sapper no, if hes not already reading this post.

Get the dates of the holiday posted up as & when you get them and i think you'll get a wee surprise at the amount of people who will take a turn at it Dougie
Guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 hi dougie my thoughts are if you go with the bonus ball you would be limiting the amount of goes to 49 as i would put in for 2 shots at £20 just a thought what about guessing the flying time for some race you could use jasons 1st young bird race eg 1 hour 34 minutes and 56 seconds £10 or £20 a shot dave
cemetary Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 Alf, All i can doo mate is, when i get back is to get the dates when the holiday is avilable for the winner, ME, ;D ;D ;D and let all no the date available.

cemetary Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 Alf, The winner will have to get the flight details mate, the holiday is payed for, but not the flights or spending money. I no that Russell is going over there and his flight is costing him around £237 from Glasgow single for a week, again you would have to shop around, when you take it for 2, its a holiday for 2 for a week for under £500. And what you spend. Cant be bad, infact thats good.
