depends what the people are like around your area you could have different types of raffles or a mate of mine his gun club have a race night and they cleaned up or you could have a clay shoot but i think the best job is the race night

the best and the handiest way is a golf classics, if you have a golf coures near your club,also a poker classics if the pub is going well.
we also run a longest pheasant on nov 1st we sell tickets to guess the weight and length . hope this helps

I'm in three clubs and they all run Xmas raffles - which can be a bit of a pain.
However, two of the three put up good prizes while the third puts up sh1te - tins of biscuits etc. The two that put up the good prizes make good money on the raffles where as no. 3 makes sweet FA.

Moral of the story - run a raffle with decent prizes.

WTSC does a couple of things. Table quizzes in the local pub, raffles, etc. We run a BBQ about twice a year. Free in, but a donation bucket set up in full view (and we'd run raffles at the same time). The BBQ works quite well - we might be giving away free burgers and steak, but the donations more than pay for it. We get enough to fund training and sending the juniors to international matches.

I think though, that the real reason we manage to get by is that we have a *lot* of juniors in the club. When a junior joins, we don't get one member, we get three - junior, mommy and daddy. And when junior does well and wins medals, we start seeing the folks getting involved to help out. Without that, well, we'd have gone under years ago. It's basic economics in a way - helping us benefits their children, so help is often forthcoming. And that atmosphere is contagious - other senior members will put in silly amounts of time and effort into the club as a result.

There are also grants available from your Local Sports Partnerships and LEADER programmes and the Sport For Life program and the Women In Sport programme and a dozen others; but to be honest, it's always been the members who've kept us going.

Table quiz is great!

Keeps the lads and their families involved and with a raffle for say a day's stalking, or pigeon shooting, fishing or ferreting in the break, there is quite a bit to be made.

Let me know if you try this as I have loads of questions from our past efforts.
