Fund Raising
Money is a constant problem for any club. We try keep the costs of
flying to a bare minimum and thus are always on the lookout for novel ways to raise funds for the club. On Fathers Day, we had an open day aimed at non-members and had over 60 flights. This was coupled to breakfast and lunch, which added to the funds raised. It was also excellent exposure for the club and we might even get a couple of new members joining. Our newest idea is a luck draw for a biltong cutter. Biltong is salted, dried meat (like jerky?), which is a South African speciality. It can be made from beef or game. The meat tends to be very hard when fully dry (especially game like Kudu or Buffalo) and thus special cutters are used to cut the meat into bite-sized chunks. One of our members has made a special cutter from vesconite (a hard plastic used primarily as a replacement for metal in bearings) that he has donated to the club to raise funds. Tickets can be purchased on line via the web site (www.ggc.co.za) for R10/ticket (US$1.50). What novel ways are other clubs using to raise funds and increase exposure to their clubs? Clinton Lak 12 |

The local SA specialists do a roaring trade of some really good
'billies' to expats locally, Usually beef with garlic and chilli varieties and really excellent droe wors. Would you ship my biltong cutter to the UK if I win? Oh wait! I'm still out of pocket for the DVD and other material from the worlds in 2001, rather not. Ian |
