All of you coming to the Bristol meet on the 9th April. surely we could do something that day to boost the fund??? any ideas????? Bev

I suspect if we want to raise money in any way, e'g' raffle we would have to be careful not to contravene any licensing laws. Ann Glos

thats what i was wondering Ann spose we could phone and ask before hand Bev

If we get Mags to contact the landlord and explain maybe he/she will have a suggestion of how to raise money legally. Ann Glos

Not being a killjoy here - I support Pink's fund as much as the next person BUT - when I went to the pub to check with the landlady about us having a meet there and she asked what it was all about - I explained it as being members of a genealogical site meeting, chatting, having a drink and a bit of a laugh. If that is going to change - then I would need to go and talk to her again. We can't just 'do' things - as Ann has said - we would need to look at the implications of any restrictions in their licensing laws - and also those governing charity collections - I believe you have to be licenced personally to be able to collect for charity. (??) Magsxx

mags you didnt mention strippers, thongs or anything then?? Love Jan xx

mags i thought that was probably the case, hence it was a question. are the strippers male or female??? Bev

Nobody is officially allowed to hold any raffle without holding a licence, not just in licensed premises. We could maybe have some sort of fine system, i think that would be OK. But we would have to check first. Ann Glos

Thanks all... Bev - yep realised it was a question ok? and a good idea xx Jan - I'll only do that if Rick agrees to get his kit off!! Dorothy - I think the key in your reply is that it is Charities that hire the theatre - We as a group don't have charity status - so I am not sure how things would stand. I know that Diana is licenced - perhaps it may be sufficient if she is there - which she may be. I will contact the landlady again - best from the horse's mouth I think! LOL - although she may change her mind if I call her a horse! Will get back to you again when I have ok?? Magsxx

Mags hun - I thought the idea is to try and raise money!! :-))))))) xx

Woo Hoo!! I'D PAY!!!!! Mags xxx

Dunno what Rick means but he said uh-oh lol :-) the right price and he's yours lol

i would pay my hubby NOT to strip lol pleeeeeeeeeeease don't anyone dare him either!!! that is like a red rag to a bull Bev

Jan - BUT did he run screaming from the room when he said it?? - It cost me a tenner to get Terry with a thong on OVER his boxers - so I daresay just a thong would cost me a bit more!! LOL OK..OK....Just for Bev .....We could think about raising money by paying people to keep their clothes ON!! Guess I might be the biggest fund raiser on that score!! LOL Magsxx

actually mags that isn't a bad idea lol Bev

omgggggggggg Mags he said get your---- out omg didnt quite hear the word lol maybe he will tell you when we meet up lol he then muttered about it being a good cause lol. Think youve pulled mags - yippppppppeeeeeee nite off for me :-))) xx

Well if there's going to be naked male flesh then I will have to come to Bristol!!! :-) becx

omg bec its only rick luvvy dont get too excited :-))))))

he is sitting here blaming pink for getting him drunk on saturday!!!!!!!! lol

Jan - I think the word may have been 'money' ???? - nothing else of mine is worth getting out! lol He would have to be really desperate to give you a night off in favour of me - so don't go banking on a rest just yet!!! Magsxx
