Haven Horizon Statement

He got a gaming licence, cost around 70 quid.  Done lots of little things, lottery bingo, RL correct scores, fantasy RL, then you bought votes at 5 quid a piece to decide where the money went.  Sure i have missed out somethings, but the RL correct scores raised a lot of money, because it was so hard, the jackpot got really high and half of sellafield where having a dabble.

  He also raised funds through a online shop, forget what it was called, also recycling old mobile phones.

Ingenuity at its best, I presume he was au fait with computers - way to go as posted above. It all starts with the God of small things.

Imagine if all the above games and the lottery could be payed for on an official website, were interaction with the BOD could take place now and again, were proper information was distributed in a timely manner.  For £10 a year membership.  Instead of giving the local rags everything for very little.  Hardly rocket science, but i bet done PROPERLY would easily raise upward of 50k a season.

I think T.I.H. have allready established a 'paypal' system and surely it's time the club had credit card facilities. Could not all three websites be combined - ie one click and you can access the forum, the club site and TIH site [for us none tekies - is that the term]? still operating independently - or has that no mileage? There could even be a talk to a director section [if they wanted] say once a week and a detailed club 'diary' the list is almost endless.

the webshop was Easyfundraising (its still going but raising little) . I think Chris's biggest earner was a bingo type game using the lottery numbers.

I find the problem is, that it's the same people all the time who are being asked for money. They club need to try and target people who don't go to the games.

And for that RLad, the club has to widen its horizons [no pun intended] and do things differntly on top of what is already being done but to ask a non supporter for money as you suggest there has to be a trade off of kinds, something has to be offered in return - be that a hospitality treat, corporate hospitality, an uber raffle etc etc but basically not to look at its business model as anything to do with RL in the first instance.

The lottery before it got ruined achieved that.  Over 3000 members at its peak.

When I said uber raffle, I wasn't in any way denigrating our existing raffle far from it. I am more saying that perhaps a raffle of sorts could be run in tandem but NOT weekly, between the three clubs or more and sold widely to people who might not be rugby fans or want a ticket every week but might like to buy a ticket for an interesting prize as opposed to helping a RL club, even though it ammounts to the same thing it's not quite the same thing to the purchaser - does that sound too complicated - hope you know what I am meaning.

[cran.cran]

P.S. what did you mean by 'ruined' I thought our sweep was doing reasonably well??

i beleive the hh have a document put together to present to the review lot soon. i thought they had stopped as a group so good on them if there still together i think all groups can work together good luck to them.
