Fund raising meeting.

I asked about 40th man and Gary will look into it.

Gary wants some fundraising suggestions for the closed season and we are going to have a Cougar Christmas Party!! Hope you can all attend it should be fun. Details yet to be arranged but hope it is a good un.

All agreed that there is enough fundraising during matchday.

Whilst we were there a lady (sorry forgot the name Rach can you help/) donated £200.0 from the Cougar Stompers which is a line dancing meeting held every Tuesday at Cougar Park. Have to say a very big thankyou to them.

Anybody with any ideas???? We have a wonderful facility a Cougar Park that we could use.

Gary is very appreciative of all the volunteer work that is done.

Maybe have themed music nights down there?

There's already a Blues club isn't there?

What about different genres? Indie, Metal, Motown, Jazz, Electro, Old Skool dance, Northern Soul etc.

Bring an appropriate band or DJ in for each.

Good point stealth, thinking a little bigger, what about arranging an annual party in the park?, it would have to be as good as and not clash with the bingley one. This would certainly bring in some very good money and raise awareness of keighley cougars, of course you could even make season tickets available to party goers at a reasonable rate!

I had thought about that, it would have to be on a smaller scale and a proper organiser doing it - and the toilets, well the toilet situation at Myrtle Park was not a nice experience for me.

Will suggest possibly for next year. I understand there will be an act/dj on after every match next season and possible celebrity/sportsman visits.

As for the theme nights - I think that is a good idea - I am going to Butlins Skegness for a 70's weekend soon, will get ideas.

As a way of raising the profile in the town, what about some kind of reward/discount scheme for people wearing a Cougars shirt in the town?
It doesn't have to be owt big - maybe 10p off a pint in pubs, 5% discount in a shop or whatever, but it could get the shirts out and about, and therefore get the club noticed a bit more around town.
