cup of tea Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Didn't some nutters do a sponsored walk from Canvey to our ground a few seasons ago, what about doing the return leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 No coz we won't be playing them Not sure we would get decent numbers to do the darts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tom Daley Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 For the darts I have asked a few people and they would be up for it. If the club was open for 24 hours we could keep the bar open, maybe with a raffle. I recon you would get some family and friends supporting the players as its for charity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I hope that you don't object to a non Hornchurchian (is that the right word?) offering some ideas: 1) A celebrity charity match. Always good for a laugh and could attract a good crowd. The Arsenal Fans team regularly travel to play charity games and in the past have included Ralf Little, Tommy Walsh and Tony Hadley in their line up. 2) Bands/Singers/Tribute Acts. Again, always popular and for about £400 you can get a decent act. 3) Memorabilia Auction. If anybody wants advice on these then drop me a PM, always happy to help out - especially for a good charity like Teenage Cancer Trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I suppose the darts would work if done at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornchurch "O" Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I suppose the darts would work if done at the right time 24 hours. Anytime would be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Lol I think it has to be a Friday but if you do it on a Friday it has to be out of season. Otherwise do it on a Saturday after a home game and run through that way. You could do it midweek but people will have to take a couple of days off work which some may not do. How would we format it,would it be a continuos competition Would people be able to sponsor per hour or just for the whole 24 hours as some will obviously not make it???

Fat Tom Daley Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 You could have a continuous competition or have pairs who are 45mins on 45mins off but someone is always on the board. You could also have both people who will do the full 24 hour or have people do it as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Urchin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think you could throw continuously for 24 hours,your arms would fall off. Personally I think it should be a competition,running onto the next competition etc etc continuously. If you get knocked out,you carry on in a plate tournament as a sideline to the main one,when they are both finished,you do the same again. Other than that,do a league. At the moment we have 2 stand up boards,I believe Wally was going to speak to the club again re-mounting the boards on the walls so we could have 4 boards available at once to stop people hanging around too long should numbers be high. You would be looking for 16-32 people getting involved,if every person could raise £100 it would be a tidy sum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missunderstood Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Sorry for the intrusion but my son had two years of chemo in a teenage cancer ward and I thought a few ideas may be useful. I got some free tickets from Arsenal and the old Wimbledon a couple of times, and a day at a match did wonders for everyone I could take. If you can arrange an attractive pre season friendly and someone could pick up some of the patients from the ward, take them to the match, and give them a slap up meal in the clubhouse and free booze for the older ones, that should go down a treat. When we used to use the ward they had some very generous donors from the world of sport and TBH the ward had more money than it knew what to do with. That was nearly twenty years ago so its possible thats all changed now. At the time they had a games co ordinator (not sure of her correct title) who was great at coming up with ideas for anyone who wanted to get involved with the trust, perhaps if someone could contact her (maybe a him now) that person could help with some ideas that may be helpful.

missunderstood Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Arsenal was always generous when free tickets where asked for, and replica shirts, and duvet covers are always appreciated. If you have any events in your clubhouse I'm sure some of the patients local to Hornchurch would welcome an invite, especially if there is free beer on offer.

Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 what about a players vs supporters match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornchurch "O" Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Haven't they had a bad enough season, Annie? lol One idea would have been to charge people to have their photo done with the Essex cup. Looks like that horse has already bolted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
