Need some advice

[seanb]

Hi

Ive been following this site for a while now [and very good it is if I may say] although not really posted as it is a long way from my area and type of fishing.One of the things that really stands out though is your charity work-something you fully deserve all credit for.Im sure some of you will know of a mate of mine who has his own website [Macky] on which I am a moderator.Currently we are trying to raise funds to help a young lad who has been struck down with M.E.,and up to now this has mostly been through donations although I am trying to get an auction of unwanted tackle started, but having never done this before I am struggling with ideas of what to do and how best to do it,and so I was hoping you may have some suggestions of how would be the best way to proceed.

I hope you dont mind me posting this but I would be very grateful of any advice you may have.I will post the link to our site,and if you can help suggest what I can do better please do.

I'm sure you'll get some help here

I know NESA have raised quite a bit of money by organising competitions. Every ones a winner, good day out, prizes for anglers and money for charity. Loads of graft for them involved though.

Welcome to NESA Sean,does'nt matter where you are from or where you fish,your posts and catch reports are more than welcome.Chris leaves few posts now and again,so get stuck in.
As for your fundraising i hope you do well for the young lad

Welcome to NESA Sean You will find details on the main forum of NESAs past fundraising events, hopefully, that will give you some ideas. I have deliberately not given you a direct link to it as you might find it best to have a good mooch round the site and find things for yourself An auction sounds like a good idea - we have had success with those, you can never have too much tackle, can you

Good luck

Ali

Hi again,

Thanks for the replies already,Id just like to clarify that the fund raising/auction is being done through Mackys site,its just ideas on how to organise things like dealing with the money,coming up with new ideas for other events etc. that I need help with.

Thanks again

Sean.

Too hard they keep jumping out of the way of the bat and pinch the bananas at half time.
