AMP3 Charity Trackday 2008 - September 26th

[D50]

Just off to work now but have been involved in setting up charity events for years and am used to trying to get raffle prizes.

Secret is to go big! Go straight to the top!

Will contact Jezza and the Top Gear Team and Fifth Gear and see what I can do - might get some signed goodies to raffle or something....if anyone else can donate I don't mind running the raffle on the day. See if we can get some bottles too..

Maybe Knockhill could donate something too??????

Fantastic - yes, yes and yes

KH have been pretty decent with the fees, but I'll see what they can do

I met a guy on the plane to London last week who does PR for motorsport. He's done events with Rio Prestige and does PR for rally drivers, etc. I got his business card so will give him a call to see if he might be interested in doing something for this.

Cheers Dezzy,

Anything that gets more exposure, prizes or simple cold, hard cash - all appreciated. The Charity is a great one and their really excited about it - not their usual thing and everything that's out of the ordinary creates more interest.

I was thinking of charging £5 for passenger rides on my justgiving page but also doing something whereby the largest donation from my mates gets a shot of driving my car on track. Would need to restrict it to my close mates obviously as I don't want just anyone driving the car! But think this might help generate extra cash.

Would this be okay? Would they just need to come to the driver briefing?

D

I was thinking the same. Not sure if people would pay money to come out with me

Would it not be easier just to charge pax £10 per head on the day?

[Shug]

We don't want to make it less of an event to make the money - would kill the feel of it. Everything is optional (barring the initial donation, of course) we just want it to be a fun day - if that happens, the money will roll in anyway

[Andy G]

was thinking of asking pax's for a charity donation - but leave the amount up to them

Some awesome ideas people - much appreciated, and keep them coming

That's a terrible way to speak of Brigita!

Good work fellas, glad I nipped on from France now. Bored of the sun

I'm offering passenger rides to anyone for £5 (or more) but the chance to drive my car round the track for the highest donation is only open to my close friends and family (just can't have any random driving the car!). Will hopefully entice some of my friends to make big donations

Cheers,

Wondered why you'd left your camera stuff and helmet at my house for so long!

Hope you are having a good one

Great effort Dezzy

Dezzy maybe speak with Scottyf on here who has Manifold, i think the same guy might be doing his PR, so good inroads.

i think its must be related to Dezzy's thread about moving over on the straights... i'll move over no problem on the bends if i see Noops in the rear view mirror fast approaching with shotguns attached to his front clam!

Signed up and made donation guys - can't wait - top work again Shug & Andy.

Andy maybe I can charge everyone who is sick in your garden £100 for me to clean it up since I did it for free the past two times - sure that will raise some money
