Silver Scruffs…
Your sporting memories of the village may well be rooted in the villages cup runs of the 90’s, the Oving cup battles of the 80’s or the legendary ladies hockey teams exploits of the 70’s, but what ever your vintage, you are probably the folk that will contribute the most to the success of the Scruff Appeal.
We are a comparatively small village and so to raise the sums of money that are needed to make our sporting dreams come true, we will need to spread our fund raising ideas across as wide an area as possible.
We are hoping that our Silver Scruffs can appeal to the Children, Grandchildren, Nieces and Nephews that are scattered across the country, to spread the word about Scruff and encourage them to take part in any small way to help with our fundraising. To send them little Scruffbags with an opportunity to get their pictures on Scruff’s web site would be a great start!
Scruff’s Grand summer draw is another area where we would appreciate your help – We will start selling tickets in June with the draw taking place at the beer festival on August Bank holiday Sunday and we would like to offer some more unusual prizes and this is where you come in!
We already have a day for 2 at the country’s premier Autumn hillclimb meeting in the glorious Cotswolds and a “have a go” session at Clay shooting, so if you or anyone you know, can offer something just that little bit different please let us know. We are hoping that, as well as the odd complimentary ticket to organized events or concerts, that people may offer to take draw winners with them to sample their hobby for a day, be it a drive to a pub lunch in a classic or veteran car, a flight in a light aircraft or a days fishing – If you enjoy it, so will someone who has never experienced it before!
We Silver Scruffs are an imaginative lot so if you can come up with any way of raising even the smallest amount for Scruff then we would appreciate it, how about making the ₤1 per hole bet on your weekly golf game for Scruff?
Happy fund raising!
