Any ideas anybody or suggestions as to who could offer a location for this? (Last year i was so desperate I ended up reading a (no offence) what i would call an old womans book that somebody gave me. The proceeds of the books could then be passed on to the orphanage.

Great idea Nicky - except the Happy Duck won't be there this year. Steve and Costa have moved on to a new place (to be announced) and I'll let you know about that as soon as I have more details.

re: Fundraising idea

I would suggest to try some of the hotel receptions - Kuban, Iberostar, Globus, Victoria Palace, etc... maybe some of the reps could sound them out.

Anybody know anybody there or have any contacts? We could do with somebody trustworthy to keep a watchful eye on the money

re: Fundraising idea

I am gutted Pete - please email me, We are going out in 7 weeks and I have to know more details, what about the staff??
What are we going to do? Has Costa still got his other restaurants?

About the fundraising - I suggested on the other side that maybe Balkans head office could collect stuff for the orphanage, I can have a word with Darren the Manager when we go.
