Race Night Fri 8th March at The Club .........

Dear all

To those not attending the Tour, I hope you will support the cause, as you may well be attending next year, and the Race Night is a fun night, I hope to see you all there.

A big thanks to all, for paying the tour money on time. All the money is in the age group bank account and the cheque has been posted. We’re all going on tour!!

We have 32 players and a total party size of 100, which is great news. A bit like the ‘Blue Peter Appeal’ we have a fund raising target of £3,000 for the tour. Some of you may ask what this is for? Last year the funds we raised were spent on Brentwood RFC branded polo shirts for all players, parents and friends who attended along with branded hoodies, which proved to be a big hit. This year we would like to go better, and there are more of us.

So in addition to the Race Night, Raffle and Auction mentioned below, if any of you work, know of or indeed own a company that could sponsor the polo shirts or hoodies, please can you let me know, asap. This could be a joint arrangement depending on the funds available and how many companies can sponsor.

This event is adults only, sorry no children.

Please can we imagine our ‘Race Night’ is like a sponsored walk, in that your son could have been given a sponsor sheet with 10 spaces for sponsors, to ask their Grand Parents, Aunts, Uncles and friends to each sponsor them £5. With this in mind please can I ask that you share this email with your son’s, as well as your families attending as they will all benefit from the money we raise. I’m personally counting on you, there can’t be any excuse.

Race Night – Fri 8th March 2013 at The Club, 7.30pm bar opens. Event starts 8pm

Entry tickets are £5 per person. The bar will be open, please bring your own nibbles.

There are eight races with eight horses in each, and we need your friends and family to ‘name’ a horse for £2. With 64 horses to name, we need your names asap, and the money. The idea is to name a few, the funnier the names the better! The person who names the winner of the race gets a bottle of wine.

There are eight races and each race needs a sponsor for £5, ie a business name or something very funny, or even both. “Hill Park Vets Grand National”, just £5 per race.

During the night, the fun part is placing small bets on a horse and hoping it will win. All funds taken on the Race Night, except at the bar will go to the age group Tour Fund. We pay a young man to organise the race night who donates all the money he raises to Great Ormond St Hospital and has raised over £20,000 so far, he is a great lad.

Sharron and Shanie will be at training on Sundays and Weds collecting, assuming you can’t attend training, please can you help your son with some phoning Grand Parents, Aunts, Uncles and friends, and let me know the horse names and if they can sponsor a race and the race name? We need all the horses and race sponsorships in advance so we can print up the detail before Fri 8th March, that’s just 16 days away.

Raffle

During the night we will be selling raffle tickets, so please can you let Sharon or Shanie know what prizes you are able to donate, or know of a Grand Parent, Aunt, Uncle or friend who can donate something?

Auction

We have some special prizes for auction but could do with more, please let me, Sharron or Shanie know what you are able to donate.

So please get your son’s and family attending the Tour involved as we have very little time.

Any questions or company sponsorship please speak with me? Many thanks
