Geoff Says; Here is a good way to raise money for Air Ambulance you buy the numbered balls from the sellers at our Car Boot Sale and on a selected day all of the balls are thrown into the COBER river and the first three balls that pass the finishing line wins some great prizes!
At two quid a ball with all the monies raised going to Air Ambulance.
Seems like a great idea and a good community thing to do why not run a boot sale there that’ll bring the crowds out!

We will give them FREE stalls for their collection, it would make a good day out really why not take the kids to watch daddies numbered balls floating down the Cober River!

Enjoy your day!

Hi Geoff
Glad photos came through okay.
Our headline charity this year will be Cornwall Air Ambulance, as we invited one of their representatives to our club the other week and she reminded us all as to how lucky we are to have this amazing service.
Smaller local charities will also benefit from the event and we decide on these dependent on the amount we raise.
Have read with interest your Geoff Says, so look forward to hearing about Cober Valley at some stage!

Many thanks
Rachael

Hi Geoff
Yes, it absolutely fine to copy my letter into Geoff Says.. We are called Cober Valley Helston Rotary Club and I can forward you a number of photos of our previous Ball Splashes! ….
I have spoken to our President, Ian Munday, who deals with the Internet/website side and he is happy to liaise with you.
Hope that answers a few of your questions.
Again, many thanks
Rachael

Hi Geoff
Thank you for your swift response regarding our fundraising event and the enthusiasm you have shown!
Ian, our President at the moment, deals with all the Internet business and keeping our website up to date. The publicity will be on our Rotary website very soon and I am wondering if you can use this on your website. This would be amazing….
To confirm a number of points you made:-
The event will be held at Coronation Park Boating Lake, Helston, on Sunday, September 14th (time to be confirmed)
Each tennis ball costs £2 to buy and will be numbered just as a duck race is organised.
All the balls will then be poured into the Cober River, arriving at the park and contained with fencing to comply with all Health and Safety procedures (Risk assessment forms will be completed and permission granted beforehand, as on previous years).
The prizes range from a cash prize to local vouchers for venues i.e The Seal Sanctuary and local restaurants who have donated them to our day.
We are a registered charity and comply with all the regulations from our Rotary Headquarters.
We will be choosing our local headline charity at the commencement of the Rotary year on the 1st July. Again, I will inform you immediately.

Again, many thanks and look forward to meeting you very soon

Kind regards

Rachael

Hello Rachel,

Further to our chat today please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your charity which Car Boot Cornwall will support wholeheartedly. Once you have some Internet Publicity I will publicise on our website (over 750,000 hits)

I look forward to meeting with you and Louise knows all about our conversations so if I am not available ask for Lou.

Your enthusiasm to succeed speaks volumes for the causes!

Can you just drop me a few lines in particular the involvement of tennis balls sold for £2.00 each and what sort of prizes are involved also the actual date of the tennis balls are floated down the river, also where the proceeds are going? Have you registered the charity?

Kindest regards,
Geoff
