Hi Kevin,

All good ideas :)  I do have a set of clubs but I'm not much of a golfer :P
It would be good if we could still play football aswell ;D
A 10:30 kick off followed by a bbq then golf in the afternoon, we could then have a meal, raffle etc in the evening.
I'm sure we could generate a few thousand between us for a worthy cause :)

Great idea but again will you get the support to make it happen? Remember a lot of people on here are past the big 40 bracket, so expecting them to play a game of football and then go do a round of golf in one day is a bit daunting. :P

If it were a weekend that we arranged, we could get together on a Friday night for a drink and a meal, Saturday at say 11am football, the afternoon at our leisure. Saturday night beer and Skittles, and then up bright and early for a 7am Tee off on Sunday morning. Then maybee a game of Darts in a pub with a Buffet, and the awards of the compertition with a prize for the winning team. :D

Hi Paul/Ian

ALL these companys that try to sell thier goods to us thoughout the year then it's a go marketing ploy for them FREE of charge to get their names in first, and there hands in their pockets. If say we only played nine holes of golf they could sponser a hole with their name on it. I'm shaw that we could get nine companys to cough up.

Then one main one to sponser the footie match. (this would be interesting to see who came up first for both).

Then a BBQ in the evening. If it was done on a Saturday then everyone could then take it easy on the Sunday, I think that way you would get more of a family turn out.

Regards Kevin (just a thought)

ps I can get my hands on two large BBq's

I'll play if Chris Strakers playing, I'll kick is head in. :o

Why don't we all get together for a good fight, Im sure there would be more northerners up for that, we'll kick you soft southern wimps into orbit.

Granted Mike Holliday did break my nose an fracture my wrist during the recent Prochem training day, that fight was good and was well hosted by everyone at Prochem.
What did you guys use to get rid of all that blood from the car park? as far as I can remember it turned in to a blood bath when the Bolton boys joined in!! :o

We all then congregated round at Kens house for Cuddles and Scrabble followed by Corned Beef Hash, a great end to a fantastic day.  WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED.

I am currently thinking of hosting a FREE training day, if anyone is interested and comes along please remember one important house rule..... PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE WIFE!!

8:30am - 9:00am / Morning welcome, Tea, Coffee and Garribaldis.
9:00am - 11:00am / This Morning, Trisha and Bargain Hunt.
11:00am - 11:15am / Principles and practices of doormat cleaning.
11:15am - 12.00am / Main Meal - Bacon, Egg, Sausage, Hash browns, Eggy Bread, Tomatoes, Beans, Bubble and squeak, Toast served on a side platter along with tea and coffee.
Pudding - Apple Crumble and custard.
12.00pm - 1.45pm / Fosters larger and a Garden brawl involving all of us. Please keep to the back garden, dont want the neighbours to see.
1:45pm - 3:00pm / Swings, slides and merry go rounds at the local park. Orange segments and lemonade will be provided for refreshments. Could someone please bring some antibiotic cream for grazed knee's, cuts etc.
3:00pm - 5:00pm / The pub followed by Donner Kabas or Fish and Chips.

FINISH

I would like to know ASAP who is coming so I can send our beautiful adopted Kurdish son Amange for the Bacon, Eggs sausages and suffice.

Talk is cheap but could end up costing you heaps >:(

Make yourself known on the day and arrange for someone to get your vehicle home for you  ;D

Hi Guys,

It would be nice if we could make this work with just carpet cleaners and get our main suppliers to be our main sponsors, but with the limited interest we may have to open it up to the rest of the forum.
I just watched a friend of mine play in a charity match between two braches of his insurance firm, It worked well and raised a fair amount of money for a good cause.
Quite a few of the guys were getting on a bit so there's no excuse fella's!! rolling subs (not litterally  ;D ) will help avoid too much discomfort.
 
I will put the first one hundred pounds into the sponsorship pot to get things going    :)
