We have had a very positive response regarding the tournement in Spain next year,we now need a few people to help organise events and also to assist with the booking of the trip.If any of the parents would like to get involved it would be very much appreciated,can you let me know if you are willing to help or if you can attend a meeting tomorrow afternoon at 5pm whilst the boys are training .
We are hoping to set up the extra £10 a month from March 1st into a separate account solely for fundraising for the trip.
Can all parents give me an indication how many of their family intend to make the trip.
Thanks James

Hidden Team
Barcelona tournement 2016
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
