Depends if they also got a good deal on the dinner through it I reckon

True, and he hasn't specified the number of people attending the dinner. But just reading it sprung out as being a bit below value

Yes this makes it very attractive as I didn't fancy getting lumbered with working everything out!

But there's a lot of great ideas in this thread. And since I've put myself up for election for my club's committee this month (depending on work) I'll try and pass some of the ideas on.

It might just be my club, but one of the major things that annoys me with fund raising at my club is that if the committee don't want to do it they pull out the "we've tried it once and it didn't work. So we're not going to try it again".

If you get enough people to back a decision, most major decisions can be voted on by all members at an AGM, including removal of stubborn old duffers on committees.

I've encountered this before we managed to balance out the average age of our committee. I generally found that if you are prepared to take on the organisational work yourself then the committee will let you have a go.

But there's no one wanting to replace the old duffers on the committee (probably because of the stronghold 3/4 committee members have). I've actually had this conversation tonight in the club! And told them the decisions I would make.

Fantasy Cricket game would be a good thing to do though I reckon as the 1st and 2nd team scorers are meant to keep up to date stats anyway so it shouldn't be too hard to give values to the stats

Nice ideas here.

we have a corporate team and we did an Ipad (people love the idea of almost free ipad)raffle

Ipad was $499
And then we sold 1 raffle ticket for $10 and 3 for $20
We were able to raise around $2000

So $1500 for our corporate team was a very good collection

I think a lot of clubs are scared/unable to speculate to accumulate and that restricts them

We have sponsorship from a hotel - the deal is we wear there sponsors on the shirts & of course advertise in the brochure we hand out to watching spectators as part of a collection/donation (we have a lot of people watching our games on a decent day). The hotel do not physically give any money BUT we hold our annual dinner there for free (i.e. they cover the cost of the room and food) and the sales of the tickets goes to the club (�20 / �25 per ticket). They of course do get bar sales on the night.

Maybe a interesting approach?

As a cricket kit geek I ended up with a 2012 Kook Recoil 750 (basically new) that tbh, I didn't want. So, this year I've decided to mash it in with the fantasy cricket. I am going to charge �20 per entry and not only do they get the fantasy cricket rewards but every team will get a raffle ticket and in the draw if you win you win said bat.. As an incentive to the youth I've said the highest placed youth team member (so that's anyone who plays any form of youth cricket) at the end of the season will get a new Blueroom bat (upto �180) for the 2014 season. This is purely to get people playing as it'll be the first year it's run.

PS - Storming thread calvin1mac !

I personally think things like these threads are needed as clubs as struggling to survive and 2012 has killed or nearly killed so many more.

It's virtually killed the one I play at. We made a loss of nearly �16k...

Hi Matt - if you want I can send you some screen shots of our fantasy league, to give you a image of what's what.

It was the 2nd year we ran it last year, 1st season it was weighted more towards batsmen - as an example I took a 7 for and someone who got a 20 odd not out and a couple of catches got more points

But last season was more fair on a scoring system.
