Tiegan Dunnachie Appeal Fund GP

[scotty]

Hi guys i really need your help.This was featured in tuesdays Daily Record and also last weeks Falkirk Herald.I have been asked if there is anything that we can do to help raise some funds for this little girls plight.She is from grangemouth and is 2 years old.As explained in the press this little girl has a problem with her immune system and unless she has a bone marrow transplant soon she will die unfortunately.
I as the new chairman would love to do something to help this little girl in every way possible and i know we as a club aren't going to raise thousands but every little helps as they say.I'm looking for ideas to raise money and would be sincerely grateful if you as club members could help me in every way you possibly can.Time is of the essence and anything that we can do will be appreciated....................................... ...............
Many thanks
Scott
Chairman

:D Good idea Scot; how about something on the lines of the Larbert open we ran with the costs born by the Herald and Record, and the fees collected plus donations from say raffles passed on to the little girls fund; as to venue why not get the Bairns involved grass and tarmac with good parking and ammeanities etc.
Just my instant thoughts so far M8
Malky :wink:

[ballsie]

I have just spoken to Scott and he is already planning a huge event.

All will be unveilled on Friday, but initial plans sound amazing.

[Big Bruce]

Let hope whats in the pipeline raises a sizeable sum, look forward to hearing it on friday

[Maxxed_Ross]

And remember to email it to me!!!!! :D

Sounds like a great idea Scott

[ballsie]

It will! But I will let scott fill you in as it was his idea - its well thought out though :)

[scotty]

Right some more concrete planning has been done and is as follows.This event will take place on the 11/12/2005 which is 2 weeks today.This will be a 19t carpet event with only foam tyres to be used and that means any tyre as long as it's foam.NO ADDITIVE OF ANY KIND is to be used.We will run 4 or 5 rounds of Ftq and 1 final.If we've got time we'll run 3 finals.The cost to enter this event will be £10 per entry.The hall opens at 08-00 so people can arrive from 08-00 onwards.The little girls parents will be there at some point during the day so let's put on a good show for them and raise as much as we can.I've received great feedback from all the other clubs who are looking forward to this event.There will also be hot food and drinks provided on the day.
Thanx

[Maxxed_Ross]

Excellent idea mate, sounds like fun :D

How much will entry be?

[Malcolm Williams]

:D Thats Gr8 Scot, I'll be there and I hope you get a really big turnout M8 for the little girls sake and her parents.
Malky :D :wink:

[ballsie]

Entry is £10 MINIMUM, obviously all going towards the transplant fund.

[MarcRitchie]

Its as great cause I doubt anyone will begrudge paying at least £10 and it sounds like an excellent day out.

How do we enter? Is space limited?

[scotty]

The hall doors open at 07-00 so we'll get the track built and then booking in for this event will be open between 08-30 and 09-30 with the racing starting at 10-00.If you want to book in for the day let me know by PM and i'll get you booked in, alternatively give me a phone and i'll book you in.You can also contact Alex Lyndsay to book in as well.
Thank you again.

[MarcRitchie]

[niall_cochran]

Well what a great day. Well done to Martin Wallace for winning the day, I think a big Thanks has to go to John for the excellent commentary as always and every one else that helped out for that matter. But the biggest thanks has to go to Scotty for organizing such a great event, well done scotty!

[Alan L]

Likewise - Scotty - Well Done - it all came together beautifully!.

What a great day was had by all.

Burnt out motor + broken Suspension arm + Thunder Tiger ZK2 win in the raffle = a great day!!

Let make it an annual event. I think the details for donors. (What/where when/a link the the Trusts site) Give it a little more publicity would be good.

[ballsie]

Thanks to everyone mentioned previous and also Scott's family for feeding us.

Well done Scott, hopefully this is the first of many good events.

Roll on next year ...

[Big Bruce]

Yep, big thanks to everyone that helped run the event, the Meichan family (including the 'short fat one' ? im just quoting what was said on stage? :wink: aswell as John on the mike and the usual Andy and Isobel behind the scenes!

Only 18 last week so that bottle of whisky will go down nicely!!! :twisted:

I think an annual fundraiser at the club could be our equivalent of the 'West coast open' a good cause every year and get everyone together and make a great sum!

On the racing side, big thanks to Si for his help today, you will have mail! Glad i finally got my racing head on in the final!

[Malcolm Williams]

:D Yes I agree with all the comments especially to the committee and John.
I hope we raised a big sum for the fund, hopefully enough for the needs.
Ienjoyed the day and look forward to another one soon.
Malky :) :wink:

[Dan]

Sorry I couldnt be there lads sounds like it was a great success which is brilliant, Scotty i'll send you my donation today.

Dan 8)

[MarcRitchie]

Thanks for a briliantly run day and I hope a lot of money was raised for a worthy cause.

Big thanks to,

Scotty and family, the food was excellent :wink: John, great track and an excellent commentary.Andy and Isobel who seemed to be busy all day.

Also anyone else I have forgotten.

We had to shoot of at the end but Ill be back more in the new year.

T'was good to see everyone, and it shows Falkirk are more than capable of running a well attended meeting.

[scotty]

Well all i can say is that was an awesome day's racing and fundraising.I'd like to start by thanking every individual who attended and got stuck into some serious fundraising.Excellent driving,excellent prizes,excellent food and overall an excellent day.Many thanx
Scotty.....
Ps we will be running an event every year now as far as i'm led to believe.

ALSO A HUGE THANK YOU FROM TEIGHAN AND HER PARENTS TO ALL.....

[MarcRitchie]

Oh i forgot to add best raffel prize ever.

I heart Tequilla!

[scotty]

Drunken bum ye
