Children in Need, 2012 ...

I hesitate to arouse ‘compassion fatigue’ after the club’s recent charitable enterprise on behalf of Parkinson’s UK, to which everyone contributed so generously, but …

Shortly we will have our annual Children in Need event:

Friday, 16^th November, 2012.
 

CFC has always supported this nationwide appeal.

In past years, CiN night has always proved popular at the club.

We plan three strategies for raising money:

 

1. The total pot contributions for the evening will be donated to CiN.
2. There will be a raffle. You are invited to donate prizes.
3. Sponsored requests.

You all know about sponsored requests, don’t you?

It works like this:

 

• You, the requestor, fill in a form that identifies a song/piece of music that you want to hear by a particular performer.
• Place that form in a box that will be provided at the club, along with £1.00 for each request you make. (Yes, it’s money-up-front with no guarantees!)
• Tell your requested performer that you have made such a request.

Forms will be available at the club every Friday until 9th November. Dogsbody will collate these requests and e-circulate performers in advance.

Then, on the night, we get through as many requests in the sing-around as we possibly can.

This usually runs on and on for several weeks thereafter, so requestors get to hear what they want to hear, and performers derive a warm sense of encouragement.

 

Dogsbody has all this in hand as ‘work-in-progress’, so watch this space.
