Thought I'd start up a thread in case peeps wanna share fund raising ideas
After a few false starts I eventually got to do a presentation at work to 'properly' kick off my efforts. I've already done one to my immediate 'team' of a dozen guys'n'gals but this would have an audience of a few hundred. I was originally due to give a full blown presentation at a 'comms' event but due to time pressures on all the work related presentations had to settle for a 'stall' at the last minute.
The bike was all packed up and ready to go with the intention of parking it in the conference room foyer, but, because of the heavy snow the night before I couldn't even get it down my (very steep) drive/road
Due to the rest of the stalls being work related mine generated shed loads of interest - I had a Powerpoint presentation running covering the main points of the trip and a looping vid of desert bike riding going with a nice loud sound track
Unfortunately I forgot to take a piccie until half way through breaking the stall back down
Once back in the office a blanket email went out inviting donations from all those that were present - £100 so far with promises of more to come
Also, I've got a promise of material help from my dept. head - was thinking of something for me like some tyres but if anybody has an idea for the 'team' I'm well up for that so let me know; team t-shirts for example
And to top it all, Boots will match my fund raising up to a max of £500
If anybody wants a copy of the Powerpoint presentation PM me your email addy and I'll send it to you. It's by no means great but might be useful to you
Next stop is to start getting a proposal together for businesses I deal with - the intention being a full sponsored paint job on the bike and promotional stunts for the lucky sponsor - anybody have any experience of doing that kind of thing?
