Has not been the greatest success yet, it will take a while to get up and running with selling - I have only bought items before. I am going to list the better items leftover from the table top sale at the coffee morning. Normally it would have gone to the charity shop but I am going to give this a go.
I have been working out the best place to take the photos. I then started by listing a pair of trousers I bought for one of the boys that never got used. It took a while, I had to make a picture of a word document giving information about trailwalker and Life's Voyagers. I then needed to work out what all the options did thatt you coudl chooses when selling; a number of time I went to look at a preview only to loose great chunks of text that I had typed in! Finally got the trousers listed and I thought I would have a go at a second item by copying the first and adapting it, unwittingly I was revising the trousers and morphing them into a girls denim jacket, I got thoroughly confused but worked out what happened eventually.
It has now been bid upon if it stays at this price I will just about cover my costs after the debacle of setting up, hopefully in the future it will go a lot smoother!

Fundraising Update
Coffee Morning - had hoped for more people. A big thankyou to all who did come they were very supportive. I'll carry the raffle, cake and teddy on after mass on Sunday, hopefully will catch a lot of people with it being Easter
Choir Debut Performance - Took name the teddy and guess the weight of the cake along and managed to raise over £26 - this bodes well for sunday.
Tombola - had a very productive meeting at Farnborough Leisure Centre. Manager suggested Easter Saturday not a very good day as is not their busiest; they have suggested lots of other better times. I have now got plenty of contacts at the council and they suggested I could try and get the mayor along for the photo opportunity - I think this is a fantastic idea. It made me think of having a Gurkha piper and drummer along as well; the GWT are fine with this but I will need to fix a date when the mayor is available and the centre is busy, that's my next task - as well as the ongoing one of obtaining raffle prizes. The Leisure Centre have come up trumps with these as well they have offered a load of vouchers for the bowling, cafe & play area and even 3 months full membership of the centre. Thankyou very much for all of these, they will be put to good use.

Fundraising update
Have received children's tickets for Coral Reef.
Daniel's Sponsored Haircut Members of the football team and family have sponsored Daniel to have his hair cut. The more money he raises the shorter the cut! He all ready has £65 pledged which equates to a number three. His school have allowed him to have his hair cut by one of the mums on the 'Bad Hair' mufti day; all the kids in his year will pay to watch his hair being cut. This should get us another £30 so by the time his Dad has sponsored him Daniel will hopefully have raised over £100. A big thankyou to the school for supporting us.
Coffee morning 6th April Plans are going well. I am making some flyers to hand out to advertise the event. Have bought a bagful of bisciuts and will need a visit to Cost Co to buy a couple of trays of danishes, and a jar of sweets. Have got the boys making up names for 'Guess the name of the Teddy', I need to get a teddy bear from somewhere. Need to bake (if I have the time) or beg for a Simnel Cake.
Tombola 11th April great news have got the go ahead to hold this at Farnborough Leisure Centre on Easter Saturday, I would like to say a great big thank you to the manager for this and for the bowling and swimming vouchers.

Fundraising
I have found an old display that I can fix up and use for the coffee morning and possibly the tombola. The Birdworld tickets that were promised arrived this morning so at least I'll have a decent raffle prize to add to those I all ready have. I'm waiting to see about the venue for the Easter Saturday tombola nothing is confirmed yet - I have to admit I'm getting concerned now that I'm going to run out of time! My son is long overdue a haircut and he is getting sponsored - the more money raised the shorter the haircut - he had his first £10 sponsor today!

Fundraising progress...
Result. We have permission for a coffee morning to be held at Holy Trinity Church Hall in Church Crookham on Monday 4th April. There will be a table top sale, raffle, guess the weight of the cake, guess the name of the teddy, how many sweets in the jar and plent of tea, coffee and cakes.
Birdworld have offered three sets of tickets as prizes for the team to use.
The Gurkha Welfare Trust and Oxfam have both been very helpful in my efforts to organise a public tombola. All I need is a venue for Easter Saturday. I'm still working on this!
We have ordered 480 plant plugs to bring on and sell. We no longer have a green house ourselves so a request for help is about to go out to friends for some space in their greenhouses.
It looks like we will hopefully be able to organise a public collection at a local Tesco - watch this space...
