Just like most clubs, we always need more money to pay for coaching courses and everything.
We don't have any comp beds, and we would all really like a new bed!!!
Every year we do a 24hr bounce, and the club gets promised lots of money, but not all of it is actually given in.
What they do collect just goes into the pot to keep the club running.
There is also the halloween party and presentation that raises money too, but this again goes into the pot.
And there is a bag-packing day at ASDA for the club in December.
But me and my friend really want to raise some money at the club that could go separately towards a new bed.
These are the ideas I have so far:
*a display where people have to pay for there tickets to watch and then pay to have a bounce at the end if they want to
*taking the trampolines to the local shopping centre
*fancy dress trampolining
*a fun day outside in the summer
*sponsor the coaches to compete (trust me that would raise hell loads, but the ones who would get the most money just thought i was joking when i suggested it)
*host a comp just for our club where we all have to pay to enter
We are both going to ask if we can organise a display at the club, and have an account just for a new bed, but it's going to take a lot more than just one display to raise enough.
All the ideas we have just aren't 'big' enough.
At my old gym club they used to have a really posh Christmas do just for adults, and the parents of the gymnasts took their friends and parents and things.
Tickets were expensive but the evening was lovely and everyone always looked forward to it the next year.
This obviously took a lot of time, organising and money, but raised a few thousand pounds apparently.
Of course I never went and I didn't really know much about it, but my Mum was telling me the other night when I was saying about us wanting to raise money.
Is there actually anything in the world you can do that doens't take too much time to organise but will raise lots of money, because i doubt our coaches have time to organise a thing like that.
Luv Kel!!!
