Help Needed.. please

[CycleCUBA2008]

I really need help in organising this if anyone can help... I want to do a big Cuban/ Salsa Style Family Fun Day in May 2008, and need people to donate time and/or equipment to make it a great success.
Any ideas would be welcome. I have some ideas and have approached some people already, waiting for replies. It's just tough doing this single handed.
Anyone who has a small entertainment business perhaps (bouncy castle, hog roast, kiddies fair rides etc) who in exchange for helping a good cause, will get publicity through The Daily Echo who will be covering the event on the day.
Depending on how big I can make this, governs what size of venue I need. Ideally I should do this in a field or similar!
I have already been told I can hold a fundraiser at Hamble Club. But if this is to be a big event, I'll do a pub quiz there and look further into other venues.
Plz check HERE for all info on the Challenge I am fundraising for...

It's a life challenge, for a great cause

thanx

There's a hog roast company who are at Sunnyfields Market every Saturday, might be worth a try.

Thanks Jetgirl.. do you know what they are called?

Can't remember off the top of my (pregnancy brain!) but we are going on Saturday so I will put their number in my mobile phone and upload it here after.

hi anyone else?

Hi there - a trying to think of things but have loads on at the moment. Didn't want you to be ignored. I will wrack (sp?)my brain...

thanks Tommy.. busy time of year I know so appreciate the thought

Hi again.. I am having some t-shirts made up and am asking local businesses buy space by way of sponsorship. So if anyone knows anyone who would be keen please let me know. I have thought perhaps £50 for each business added. Cheap advertising for them as I will be wearing these for training both in and out of the gym for the next year and helps out a good cause supporting me.

Try Nicks Restaurant in east Street as they seem to do a lot of advertising on local radio.

In fact all hose companies that advertise on the "new" Radio Hampshire might be worth contacting.

Sorry not feeling very inspired tonight!!

thanks for that, didn't even know about that radio station. Might be worth contacting them too and aske them to sponsor me in exchange for the Radio name on my t-shirts

How are you? havent caught up for so long

Hi Julz how is it all going with the planning and fund raising??

Hi Julz, I just used your easyfundraising.com link to start up one for my pre-school so hopefully some commission will come your way too.

hi girls sorry havent been on here for a while ...

Got over one third now with a couple of things lined up so hopefully reach the target by the spring.

How are you all?
