Back to Darlo - Bucket collections

[Darlo Since 68]

Tonight we took £308.

This now takes the seasons total in excess of £3000 taken through the buckets so far.

This is an absolutely amazing figure.

Darlo fans are awesome

[Comfortably_numb]

That's almost like £3,000 from nowhere so well done collectors and contributors.

Well done bucket collectors & 50/50 ticket sellers.A big thank you to all volunteers.

[D_F_C]

great effort once again. Your work is appreciated

Gonna bump this, does this money go straight to the club and therefore is already accounted for (lowering the amount we needed to raise), or was it being held until the fundraising was announced to be added to the totals?

It's a good question and one I am sure a number of us are interested in. From my understanding it was being held for Back to Darlo but we had those games where money was collected over winter to help the club with cashflow (the ones where ST holders suggested they paid entrance fee into the bucket).

I would guess it goes into the ring-fenced B2D account, to be utilised when and how the board can think of using it? The B2D Fund is still being kept open in parallel to the new scheme because some people are paying into it by standing order (me, for instance).

I think any funds raised in the name of B2D (e.g. bucket collections and fundraising events) will go into that account.

Pretty sure you are right Mr Tibbs, I guess in these times us fans want to contribute to the immediate issue which is the 130k. So if I or others stick £10 in tomorrow, I guess we want to know that it knocks £10 off the total 130k required in some way.

The money collected in the B2D buckets is paid into a dedicated B@D account and will be set against the £130k target. The money that was collected in the 'pay it again Sam' buckets went directly to the club in recognition of the lack of income due to cancelled games.

[Neil Johnson]

I suppose.

Future takings should go towards the £30,000 part of the new fundraising, as will future lottery and goal sponsorship income.

2020-2011 season ticket sales from Club 500 members may also be included.

The Club should clarify what types of income streams are to be tapped & which not to reach this £30,000 figure at the forthcoming Q&A forum.

------------

The recent match-day raffling of Army's signed shirt that I had donated to DFCSG raised over £300, so an extra sum to the club on top of £100 i'd paid them for my player shirt sponsorship last season.

I suggest fans can run B2D domino cards / raffles in local pubs, clubs and firms, with either a 50% cash pay-out, or some other prizes.

Well done Neil, and thanks for the gesture.

That's what I thought, it's just getting that message out there but people have been very good at putting in anyhow this season.
