Fundraising events
"We had Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Night. And we sold tickets for £3.50 each"
We had Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Night. And we sold tickets for £3.50 each, and obviously all that money goes to us. We had about 80, sorry, 60, 70 people turn up. And your names get picked out of a hat and two people go out the front in pairs and they get asked questions and stuff. What we do, we have a little bar running and people can put in donations in for the drinks so we’ll say £1 minimum for the donation of a drink and that’ll, obviously, that’ll go towards the crew fund and go towards the lifeboat as well. And then obviously there’s some women on the Women’s Guild and they do all the food and have the food together and everything.
