Mick W how would you do that??

Re: Fund raising meeting : Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:44 am  

Think perhaps a stall in the market on a saturday morning running up to start of the season could help, some on show to be able to order perhaps.

Good point stealth, thinking a little bigger, what about arranging an annual party in the park?, it would have to be as good as and not clash with the bingley one. This would certainly bring in some very good money and raise awareness of keighley cougars, of course you could even make season tickets available to party goers at a reasonable rate!

The slightest bit of bad weather and the pitch would be destroyed. You should have seen Myrtle Park last year after it rained.

Good idea!

Or even see if we can blag that area outside Greggs café in the shopping centre. Saturdays and the late night shopping Thursdays leading up to xmas.

Have some players on hand to sell, model and sign shirts.

Goosey - not sure how you'd manage blagging a discount, but then I'm not the marketing guy; perhaps someone could ask Helen... oh that's right, she's been made redundant. Shame, she'd probably have come up with something...
I suppose all you can do is appeal to the community spirit of local pubs and shops. Pubs shouldn't be too hard, if people know they'l get a discount they may well pop in to a particular pub instead of a different one, especially on a match day when they might have the shirt on anyway.
Also, it's a way of 'sponsoring' the club without having to part with too much cash. Perhaps a cheap pie in Smithie's, for those Silsdenites wearing a pair of Cougar underpants?!

I always knew those Cobbydalers were a bit on the wierd side.

Getting your ar$e out for a cheap growler

Are you calling our local butcher and pillar of the community a cheap growler?

That's growler as in Yorkshire speak for a Pork Pie, not as in Lorraine Kelly's "growler" in Bo Selecta!

I know, but I'm hoping Andy sees it and takes offence - call it a bit of pre-match entertainment!
