6-A-Side Football Tournament

Even though it didn't work out as planned, my 6-A-Side football tournament was a 

great success!

The original plan was to have 16 teams play, kick off was suppose to start at 11am and should have finished at 5pm. But one thing I have learn't with fund raising is that A LOT of people make promises then go back on their word! I had a 'secure' 12 teams ready to play until the week of the tournament when teams started to drop out, this happened all the way up until the night before the tournament so I was then left with 8 teams on the day.

Even though it was half of the amount I wanted, it still turned out great! Kick off was a little bit late so we were running behind on time throughout the day however since we only had 8 teams we had nothing to worry about.

Meet the teams

Elite Squad

Da Bosses

Skill 7 FC

Magic Bears

Wembley Rangers

Superstars

Cansdales

The end result
The 8 teams where split up into two groups of 4 who played each other, the two runners up and winners then played for 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. However, since there was no score the match had to go into the worst case scenario...penalties!

8th place - Elite Squad
7th place - Magic Bears
6th place - Cansales
5th place - Wembley Rangers
4th place- Da Bosses

3rd place - Superstars

2nd place - Skill 7
1st place -TBS

Wacky Hair Week!

Last month in my local town, Watford, there was a mini festival over the weekend which a close family friend went too. While she was there she came across a lady with a hair dressing stall. However, ordinary hair styles were not on offer! I'm a little bit stuck for words but I'm sure this picture says it all!...

So as you can see her hair is GREEN! Carole also had her hair twisted around wires to make them look like trees and plants that stood upright. Then to top it off, she had a rhino sitting in the middle of her head! Crazy I know?

For those of you whom have seen my hair, you would know that mine wouldn't be able to do anything like this and if it did it would have taken about a week to get it out and back to normal, so I 100% wouldn't have anything like this put in my hair which is a reason I am so grateful to Carole for doing something so crazy and then donating the money to me! 

Carole got her hair done like this and then carried on with her normal life like shopping and even taking the kids to school which is were people decided to sponsor her. After explaining my cause and why she is doing it, many friends and family sponsored Carole as she promised to keep her hair like this for a whole week. 

In the end Carole raised an amazing £100! 

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Carole Stroud for doing something so crazy on behalf of my fund-raising and donating all of the money to me.

Football Tournament

Are you looking for a great team building event or simply an event for friends to get together for the day and have some fun? Then you're in the right place! 

My next big event is a 6-a-side Football Tournament which has kindly been sponsored by: Cansdales Charterd Accountants, based in Little Chalfont, Amersham.

The football tournament will consist of: 

• 16 teams drawn into 4 groups of 4.
• The top 2 teams from each group (totalling 6) will automatically qualify for the knockout stage.
• The remaining 2 free slots for the knockout stage will be awarded to the 2 best statistical (games won, goals scored and conceded) teams that finished.
  

 

I am not only looking for football players but supporters would be highly appriecitaed! There will be ice cream vans, burger vans and cake stalls to keep you all fed.

I hope to see you there!

Curry Night Review

So I've just got back from my Curry Night at the Indian Sizzler in Watford. Indian Sizzler wanted to help me with my funds as much as possible so offered me half of their earnings from the meals tonight. We had a great turn out as just over 30 people came and since it was £15 per head I raised over £200! 

We also did a raffle which included  two bottles of wine (one red, one white - both donated by J&L Indulgence Events), a box of chocolates donated by RME, a candle from Partylite and a Forever Living facial. We sold the raffle tickets £1 a strip and ended up raising £52!

Unfortunately Iwas so engrossed in the night I forgot to take pictures! However overall the night was brilliant. Everyone seemed to have fun, I've had great feedback and noone went home on an empty stomach! 

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came and supported my event and hope you enjoyed it us much as I did!

Curry Night at the Indian Sizzler

My other fund-raisers have mostly been people giving me money and not getting much back, (other than Christie being quiet for the day or people clearing out their wardrobes!) so for my next fund-raiser I thought it would be a good idea to give back to my supporters. 

I have organised a curry night with a local Indian Restuarant called the Indian Sizzler. This way, when people put money towards my cause they will get a lovely meal back! 

Key Information:

What?

Indian Sizzler are offering a 4 course meal which includes a starter, main, side and rice for £15 per head.
 There will also be a raffle with prizes on the night

When?

Just a quick update!

Unfortunatley I havent been able to do any events this month because it has been the start of my GCSE's so it has been non-stop revision! Even though I've had no time to actually put on a fundraiser, I have been planning ahead and have been sorting out which month I'm going to do what;

What have I got planned?

Name the teddy raffle - June

Curry  Night - July

6-a-side football tournoment - August

Skydive - August 

Quiz Night - September 

Bag2Future - October

Bag2Future Collection

After asking plenty of friends and family to turn their wardrobes upside down and inside out to donate clothes towards this fundraiser, I collected 41 bags all together which added up to 220kilos. Through this I made £110 so I would like to thank everyone who donated clothes and promoted this event for me!
