Well done everyone 😄

[Uxbridge rover]

Just donated £12 to put it past the £2000 target.

[Madon]

Brilliant, now on £2,050.

Thank you very much to everyone who has donated. As Paul said above, I may leave it a week until people get paid and see what happens?

Strike while the iron is hot, wrap it up and get a cheque handed over ASAP.

[Jock]

Derain House maybe?

[Don Said]

As people have mentioned - try and get as much publicity and coverage as possible when handing the cheque over.

Even the LT will get on board.. would contact a few 'bigger' papers too.

[Madon]

I've never done anything like this before... where would we get a big cheque from?

Do the Bank of India not do them?

I can't find one :-)

Shame we can't make our own Venkys out one.

Edit maybe we can!

Madon let me know which one you want and I'll pay for it. If you PM me your address I will have it shipped to you.

30 quid looks ok to me for a printed one.

Maybe use the enough is enough symbol? We need to get this right, there are options for reusable one's. So if we get the right one and do this again we can just fill it out again.

Anyone any ideas on artwork?

[Jock]

Matthew and a local celeb handing over the cheque? Steve Pemberton maybe?

Anything to get more press.

[Madon]

That's great mate. Thanks a lot.

I will leave it over to you guys to sort the minor details out whatever you think is best. It was Glen Mullans idea originally so if he fancies coming along too that would be good?

Fogarty. Very well known after I'm a Celeb, and he's done a few Rovers related tweets recently.

Great, can someone have a look at the website, I know zero about art and printing so can we provide them the artwork? Look under artwork requirements. Do we go Venkys out or enough is enough, do we have to think about the people receiving the cheque, have we spoken to them about this are they ok with Venky out on the cheque?

Good idea on the big cheque. Perhaps next we can get some Venkys Out posters printed and posted up around local businesses? Would be happy to canvas them as part of a team effort and donate to money for printing costs. I'm sure pubs, shops, cafes, bakeries etc will all be more than happy to display them.

Great idea....That will also give photo opportunities for sharing on social media too...

Can even do an early morning raid in the town centre and plaster them everywhere. Again, something I'd be more than happy to do. The more publicity this VenkysOut campaign gets the better.

I suggest you ring up East Lancs Hospice Madon and ask them if they'd be willing to take a cheque bearing the Venky's Out campaign logo. If they would are they willing to be photographed by local journos accepting it. I don't want us to give them the cheque and then hinder any support they may receive from Blackburn Rovers, if any at all.

And obviously this should be all over www.venkysout.co.uk, twitter, facebook etc

I've been in touch with a lady at the Hospice. I'll send her an email later.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Keep up the good work everyone,it's heartening to see all the effort going into this.

[Baz]

Id wrap it up at this stage, we may need to raise funds for other things (trips to India, adverts etc).

[Claytons Left Boot]

Currently £2029 Superb effort.

[USRoverME]

Certainly nothing wrong with wrappong it up, organizing the PR photo shoot of the delivery, and starting another one in a month or so, if needed.

Could even tie in the donations to cash being saved on tickets no longer being purchased.

Note

Banks used to give these out free of Charge if you banked with them for situations like this - not sure if they do anymore and obviously it would be in the banks style rather than a bespoke one

Did you get a reply back. Also can anyone help with the artwork?
