bigd26 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Good day lads over the weekend i were watching the childrens in need on bbc one and i were touch by some of the stories that i were close to almost bringing tears to my eyes . I couldnt believe the amount of kids that are suffering from all sorts of life threatening difficulties whether its cancer,brain injuries,being homeless and suffering from other illnesses so i thought why not some of the carp anglers in the midlands come together at a good fisheries in the midlands and do a 24 or 48 hours session for the children in need charity for each fish each angler catch he pays £3-£5 quid for each fish you catch if you havent catch anything then you still donate something its all for a good cause The children in need charity lets support it newmarket and bigd26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigd26 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ok, what kinda venue,how many anglers would u like involved? Where?Well a fairly good venue a average of about 10 anglers to 15 and maybe somewhere in the midlands i dont actually know how to go about it etc i just thought it will be good to do something for children in need charity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd26 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 What do you think phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyborx Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 first thing is get a list of peeps who are definatly gonna turn up. then work out a date that suits everyone. when you have that info you can find a neutral venue to suit the numbers and date you got, if you can make it so everyone travels about the same distance thats better. you need to leave plenty of time to acrue sponsors and arrange time off work if needed too. have fun. you can put me down ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 A lot of fundraisers are set up so each participant taps friends and aquaintances to sponsor them, ie: in a fun run people sign on to sponsor a runner for so much per mile he does, and assumes the worst is the whole distance. If each participating angler gets sponsors to pledge x amount of money for each pound of carp they land during the session there's more money raised. You can hit up the pub, shops etc and maybe make posters and put them up in those places and leave a sheet for the sponsors you can pick up prior to the event. Of course it's a good idea to check with the charity and see if they're in favour of your plans before doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 After seeing how much time and effort it took Gary to arrange his charity social a couple of years ago , and I personally arranged one this year at Horseshoe ( non charity ) I think realistically your need well over a year to organise a charity social , to make it worthwhile for the chosen charity .

chillfactor Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Think the best way to start is to get a list of venues that are willing to do a discount for a charity event, then the anglers who attend will pay the going rate and the difference goes straight into the charity pot. And your in the black straight away for the charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
