Think its a reasonable cost. The vinyl wrap probably adds strength to the stumps aswell. Am liking the white. Wasn't to keen on some of the examples on their website.

Briefly mentioned on here was race night, our club does this once a year and it generates a good bit of revenue.

You can hire a guy who already has the races, projector screen and takes the bets etc etc.

We do it as following:

Get individuals to sponsor a horse for say �5, 6 horses in a race = �36/race. (they name the horse, the winning horse 'owner' gets a cheap bottle of bubbly.

Get a company to sponsor the race for �50.

We split the race takings 50/50 with the "racetrak man" after payouts, which are managed as a percentage of bets received, and then split between those who had the winning horse.

Bets are placed before the video is selected, this gets around gambling licences. There are no odds, so people place a bet based on the horse name.

Plus takings at the bar it's a fun evening, ticket funds you can raise �1k having a great time.

I have an old racecard at home if someone wanted an example of this.

N.B. This is a great fundraising day for the club, which only has the 1 senior sunday team.

All you need to add is a BBQ

Just to add on the race night theme, it's pretty easy to do it all yourselves and keep all the profits rather than paying a cut to an outsider. Just take shaving a couple of people willing to run it rather than join in

Yes, defo cut out the 'raceman' as he's stealing half your profits!! DIY all the way!
