Oxcan Meeting 6th June 2011

Present: Beth, Ian, Julia, Chris, Lizzie

Apologies: Heather, Helen, Pat

Riverside 2for1

· They are very charity minded and willing to have us, we just need to decide on a date and time.

· Potential dates – 28th July, or if that fails the 21st July. Both are Thursday’s

· We need to rally the troops

· We are estimating 20 people so everyone needs to start asking round.

· The idea of doing a raffle was raised. Everyone would need to think of something to add to it and bring your ideas to the next meeting – Chris to look into

· The idea of doing a quiz was also raised – people could pay for the quiz sheets, this would bring in a little bit more money – Ian and Julia to look into

· We will need to keep it fairly low key so as not to disturb other diners.

· A list of the people attending will need to be drawn up before the night so we know who to expect. We need to know the numbers two weeks before (14th July)

· We could do a press release after the event to help further promote – Beth to organise

· Julia and Ian to book it so all information needs to be passed to them

Fundraising ideads

· Selling books – A suggestion that we could have a book sale to help fundraise. Chris to look into this

· Doing the 40’s night again as it was a huge success the first time round, except this time the theme cold be medieval. However, we would need people who could be fully dedicated as it is a very time consuming process. If we can manage to engage enough people at The Riverside fundraiser we could look into bringing more people into it. Something to think about

· Cheese and Wine Evening?

Next Meeting – Blue Cap Pub, Thursday 14th July 7.30pm
