I would lime to have these activities in our club, and rather than reinvent the wheel, thought I'd ask what others are doing, and if/how the utilize them as fundraisers. Thanks, Mike.

No-one was charged any sort of admission, not even the spectators I got a caterer to bring along a hot food van and used the money she gave me to rent a toilet cubicle (had to by law!) We had a great time. Next year we provided the food ourselves...we got some cheap bread rolls from the local bakery and my brother got me some pork sausages from his work. We got some ladies to cook the sausages and we got a few pretty girls to stand at the gate with tin cans and lids with slots for passing the money in. (no change given!) Everyone that put money in the box got a meal ticket for 2 'hot dogs' and a cup of tea or coffee...We raised £725 that day and no-one was charged to get in....All contributions were voluntary.
