I am thinking about doing some fundraising for charity next year...

Now my sister hs been diagnosed Cirrohsis of the Liver, I want to raise funds for charity, I am thinking of a 3 way split between a Liver Disease Charity, MIND and a Drug/Alcohol Treatment Organisation...

I have a couple of ideas myself, but do any of you guys have any mad/wacky/stupid ideas...

Penny for ya thoughts guys

The Great North Run, if I did it, it would be the Great North Walk lol, I couldn't run 13' never mind 13 miles...

The Skydive/Parachute Jump is one I thought of, I am terrified of heights and would probably have a little pooh in my kegs if I jumped out a plane...But that is the kind of thing I would do, I reckon something that terrifies me would go down well with people who may want to sponsor me Big Grin
As things stand at the moment, I am currently looking for donations for Mashers Murton* Christmas Party in December

So will be thinking about my own ideas more seriously in the New Year

So up to now, it is:-

1. Skydive/Parachute
2. Possibly the old body wax event
3. Maybes a small summer soiree
4. Boxing Day Dip to end the year

Maybes I could come up with an event called 3 Stages of Hell

*Mashers Murton is a group on Facebook of which I am a proud member

A sponsored walk, sponsored swim, sponsored silence (I did that once the teacher forgot she said gosh you've been quiet all lesson), if it's a sponsored walk I was thinking the full X10 route, I wouldn't do what David Blayne does as everyone says don't try this at home but one of my old classmates his dad shaved his hair for charity but one of my locals who lives near me once suggested if GNE sponsor you why not try out all the routes in a day starting with the brands it was Michael Kelly who suggested that yonks back

Thats interesting, all GNE routes in a day...That could be made a little tougher by stating 'No rare/odd workings' is allowed only branded buses on there regular routes Big Grin

Etihad Stadium next year, think he said its around June.

He said tickets went within 5 minutes on all the dates, even though a couple of new dates was added!.

Yeah, believe it was originally two gigs, then a third was added and now there is a fourth. Think you can still get tickets for the fourth night.

Not really sure as I've only been twice and the last time I went I just snapped what I could from walking from the Coach Station to the hotel I'd imagine you'll be staying in. You should be able to find somewhere nearby in the city centre.

Amusingly I am in Blackpool today, should have been for the Vaccines but they changed the date to December but had already booked the hotel so thought I may as well still headed down there for the day.
At least somebody was having a good time at work today.
