As discussed at our meeting on Friday it is our intention to take the boys to the Barcelona Tournament in May 2016.
The trip may involve the boys/parents being off school/work for a couple of days,as yet the dates are not confirmed but it normally falls in with our May weekend where the schools are off on the Monday.
In a perfect world we would fly out early on the Thursday and return late afternoon on the Monday .The cost of the accommodation would be at this years prices 274 euros(£210 at today's rate) plus flights which I would hope to pay no more than an average of £140 per person,this would give us a total of £350 per person.It would be my intention to pay for a parent and child out of the club funds.
At the moment we are sitting with a pretty decent amount in the bank account but I reckon we will need to raise the guts of £9000.I know that this seems like a lot of money but if we all pull our weight I'm sure we can achieve our target.
Ideas already muted are to
1- Increase the subs by £10 a month from March,revenue from this would give us £3150 straight away
2- Race Night,last years race night raised over £1400, with a little extra effort I'm sure we could make that to £2000
3- Sportsmans Dinner-I would hope to raise £1500-£2000 at this event
4 -Bag packing- if we could organise one of these in April /May time and it went well,I'm sure that we could organise another one in the next year,Targets £1000 for each one maybe?
I'm sure there are many other ideas out there and if we all give 100% we can make this happen.
If I could have your feedback over the next few days positive or negative it would be appreciated.If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
If we have a favourable response I will be looking for some volunteers who can assist me to make it happen,thanks,James
