*Help Needed Sending SchoolKids* THANK YOU!, by uglyiq on Jun 25, 2009 15:17:04 GMT 1, **SPONSORSHIP HELP REQUESTED**
Huge thank you to all the generous forum members who offered their support We have all 16 sponsors now and will be booking our trip on Monday
NEW SPONSORSHIP AMOUNT IS ยฃ14 thanks to bizarre train saver deal cost has been cut to ยฃ22 per pupil ...so they might even get an ice cream too if they agree to walk from the train station to the museum instead of catching the bus
GOOD NEWS Given the 100% legitimate nature of this show it's the first time I've been able to propose taking an organised school trip to a Banksy Exhibition.... BAD NEWS Large %age of our pupils have VERY limited means & school has strict policy re offering trips that are affordable to most if not all students. Cost is ยฃ30 per pupil (16 in the group)
COULD YOU SPONSOR A SCHOOLKID TO GO TO THE SHOW ? I'm trying to find 16 sponsors who could contribute ยฃ20 REVISED AMOUNT ยฃ 14 towards the cost of the trip, leaving each pupil needing just ยฃ8-10 which the school considers: a/affordable b/will pay themselves if necessary
For now I'm just trying to get 16 names who agree in principle
Letters/emails will be sent from the school next week confirming the details & arrangements for the sponsor money. **Please don't send any money to me personally** Fingers crossed if it all goes ahead I'll post a few pics and send some through for sponsors
Apologies for "using" this site for a financial appeal but I believe there are members here who would be happy to contribute
If you'd like any more details please PM or email to: bel.email@virgin.net

50 members paying ยฃ10 each is enough to cover everything, with ยฃ20 left over (does that cover 16 ice creams these days??)
Make it a condition that each of the writes 100 words describing the day

I find it kinda funny that the NHS is gonna fund more tuition for the fat chick to "study" in the US that I was reading about yesterday... while, as is the norm in the US as well, it comes down to personal pleas & donations for actual educational experiences for kids that may change their lives forever... Seems kinda f**ked up to me, kinda like holding a bake sale to buy school books while the government throws around BILLIONS and TRILLIONS for defense and bail-outs...
That said I would love to help out so keep me in the loop... ;D

*Help Needed Sending SchoolKids* THANK YOU!, by uglyiq on Jun 27, 2009 1:29:39 GMT 1, First let me say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's been so forthcoming with their help - My count is 10 so 'over the hump' as they used to say and fingers crossed the rest will come...passed on the good news to the kids at school & the trip is confirmed for July 10
COSTING: There's been some questions about the cost and appreciate the concern - it seemed expensive to me but I personally double-checked with our 'approved' list of Coach Company's plus a couple of others and really is ยฃ400-500 Plus as some always turn up without food or money they all get packed lunches to avoid any embarrassment Standard train fare is a mouth-watering ยฃ25 each for the kids, ยฃ50 each for the 2 staff ***BUT*** Dug up a weird deal called 'Group Save 4' on the train & saved a chunk of money - bizarre pricing structure but a great option if anyone else is planning a group trip and it's an open ticket, more or less, so don't have to call the whole thing off if someone's late...
NEW SPONSORSHIP AMOUNT IS ยฃ14 - based on new total cost of ยฃ22 per pupil rather than ยฃ35
Letters/emails from the school confirming the trip and giving payment details will be sent out next week so could all sponsors please contact me by PM or email ( bel.email@virgin.net ) with an email contact address, or a postal address if you'd prefer a letter sent
Thanks again for making this possible - Sports day rained off today!! - so at least some of them had good news to take home for the weekend

Forgot to say that I'm very happy to put a relatively small amount towards such a worthwhile day out for kids.
I remember my schooldays asking mum for ยฃ4 for a day trip but not being able to afford it ...then maggie went and took our milk off us
