I went to a Summer Fete yesterday and they did this: People pay a pound to write their name and mobile number down on a piece of paper. The paper goes into a bucket. Towards the end of the event a piece of paper is picked at random and the person on it rung. Whatever the digits of their number add up to (eg. 07746 873 643 = 55) they win in pounds and the rest goes towards the charity. If you get enough people you can make quite a bit of money plus the live 'ringing' of the winner can be quite exciting. love becx

Bec, That sounds like a really good way to make money (as long as you get enough people to enter) and a bit of excitement for the people who have entered.. Debs x

Debbie - I thought so.... I asked the lady doing it if I could have the numbers of all the attractive young men who'd entered but she looked a bit scared and hurried away! lol

Bec, Now I know why you want to do it!! Thought there had to be a catch.. (yep the guy you get to leave with!!) Still think its a great idea.. Debs x

Debs - Maybe I'll try it at the Male Modelling competition I'm thinking about organising.... lol

Now that sounds very interesting..... Debs x

Wanna be a judge? lol

Like the idea Becx - perhaps it would work in a pub as well. BTW why 'B*$#%' - have you been naughty..lol Jxx

Julie - might do it in my local!! the expletives are code for a five letter word which is also the name of a female dog! lol

this sounds like a good idea (the phone thing, not the latter suggestion lol), BUT what happens if yuo don't make over £100 and the phone number adds up to £99 ? Also, some people might be a little reluctant to give out their phone numbers ?

I think it is a good idea. Many people these days buying a raffle ticket prefer to put a mobile number on the stub rather than writing out their names & addresses. This just saves the bother of having them printed. You need to check whether you need a licence to run a raffle. Someone at Town Hall should be able to tell you. Jim Who's mobile numbers add up to 26. Damn those zeros and ones!

Paul - I plan on having hundreds (maybe even thousands) of men at my male modelling competition! Grampa - Have you filled in your application form yet? becx :-)
