WHBPC fundraising

DU Brook [SYD] Public Seen by 135

I've proposed to the Sydney club that we hold a fundraiser with proceeds going to Timaru help them host WHBPC. The Sydney club were looking to do another Bunnings BBQ for this as raising funds externally rather than our own $$$ is preferable.

It's quite easy for us to set up considering we've done it before and are incorporated with a bank account etc.

While having sponsorship and/or grant money is great for Timaru, any financial assistance I'm sure would help go towards putting on a better event. From memory, their AHBPC took a year to recoup the costs and having that money up front would allow them to better focus their attention and relieve much of the stress.

What do you guys think? Is this something our clubs could or should do?

I'm all for fundraising. I reckon we may even be able to do some fundraising at the Canberra tourney this year given we'll hopefully/probably get a few non-player spectators down to the event.
