I've seen the poker tournament being mentioned as a fund raiser for LISA. Is there any way LISA could organise a golf day at Pennington to raise funds? If it's successful an LISA golf society could be set up. I know Ste Ody and Dick Scratcher are golfers.

No , you organise it and donate the proceeds to LISA

Ok

I need LISA permission and to see if anyone is interested in general. When to play and where, how many holes, prizes, how to make money. Any general ideas.

I wouldn't think you needed anybodies permission other than your own. Organise a golf day with the proceeds going to LISA.

count me in mate

Yh if its worth doing then do it, Lisa needs as much funds as possible, so we can give the club more money, to use on players.

might attract more interest if a few players were involved, as long as nobody did a gower

Again I don't play golf (it's a good walk ruined) but anything I can do then let me know.

goulden plays golf, he was at the annual miners v east charity golf tourney today

You can be my caddy Fred!

I'll send the club an e-mail, but think it may be best if I waited until Monday for that. I'll get in touch with Pennington, see what kind of deal they can do us, tell them a lie that another golf club have given us half price green fees.

Also see if my mate from O'Neills can sort us out a prize or two.

I'm thinking if people have got some scorecards from Pennington or anywhere, keep hold of them and i'll sort out a handicap system when it comes round. We'll just have to trust that poeple are being honest.

Its a great idea, and one that should be lablled a LISA function as Jonny says above. The more events branded as LISA can only raise awareness of LISA and potentially increase membership numbers. We dont want a situation were fans are doing their own fund raising and giving direct to the club, do we?

Agree completely , so the simple answer is for the people involved to join the LISA committee for the duration of the planning , organising and the running of the event , if they then choose not to be on the committee afterwards , fine , but for a specific event the persons with the idea and the knowledge need to be involved , help from the committe will be given but the ' leg work ' needs to be done by others

Imo

Okay then. All I need then is a L.I.S.A. committe member to help me. I'll do the leg work at this end.

The Watcher thinks this is a fantastic idea for a fund raiser, LISA could use Leigh golf course as Dave Rowlands, a directer, is a big cheese there & could get favourable terms.
