Fundraising idea!!

I have spoken to an embroiderer that i deal with at work and he has said that we can get Wooley/Beanie hats made and embroided for £1.75 each, 1 off set up cost £45.00 approx. I could see there being a profit in this, what does everyone else think?
He has also donated a load of t-shirts, scarves and hats that are left over from footie prom's. Might have crap teams on them but hopefully the kids won't know unless Amanda tells them!!!!

I'm in DISCUSSION (Argument) with the airline about excess baggage. I'm sure i'll make them feel bad enough!!
Otherwise i'll just pay it, it'll be worth it Very Happy Very Happy

re: Fundraising idea!!

With regard to the Footy kit - I don't think it matters what names it has on it, if it is PE kit. I would think the names were more important on a fashion top. But then.... I haven't been a teenager for many years now!

I think that the beanie hats would work well, minimal postage costs, useful, pack small and would be visable on cold days. Sold for a £5 each, they would be half the price thats in the shops (shocking), and would make a nice gift too. If there is another ski-a thong next ...

If there is another ski-a thong next year, we could use that logo, if not, just the orpanage one. (The quote I got was very similar - less on the set up fee, 20p more per hat)

However... for each time we have started a thread, it has just fell to the bottom. Would there be more interest at the beginning of next season, should we do caps for the summer season, are people just not interested?

Can we have some feedback please? Very Happy

My feedback, for what it's worth.

I think hats for next season, to go with the t-shirts. Kids are very cued up on teams and fashion conscious nowadays.

Not sure about summer caps - how many here go in the summer?

I think people are waiting more for a container lorry.

Never miss my Sunny Beach Summer - it's the best Razz

Can't see too many wanting the summer hats - but winter hats would be a super idea.

Debbie, I'll bring my handy scrap of paper into work tomorrow (or do it tonight) and I'll email you with what I got back from Mum's uniform man.

BG - I know what you are saying about the footy kit, but i take it that the kids still want it, even if they just use it for "playing out" (as I used to call it as a scruff child?)

I think we should push the beanie for next year, but we could start promoting them early on here, and on the Summer BG forum. Are we going to go for a Ski-A-thong ...

Has anyone taken ownership of organising a container lorry?

re: Fundraising idea!!

I think if they're available early next season then should be good. Probably sell lots more early on too. Very Happy Very Happy
