Hey guys,
I play in a Bagpipe band and i was wondering if any of you guys have ever attended a Burns' supper (3rd week of January). I am specifically looking for ideas for fundraising (ie: raffles, auctions, etc.)
If you have ever attended a Burns' night, please share some of your ideas with me to help make the most of this evening. My band is not exactly hurting for funds but we are looking to make a success of our own annual event and I feel that prizes and audience inclusive events will certainly help.
some ideas that I have are:
Tartan raffle (done it before, we made a kilt for the winner, a good prize in my opinion)
Bottle Auction (any preferences of Scotch to be sold off, I am thinking Balvenie or Laphroiag, at least 12 year old Single Malt)
Gift Baskets (what should we put in them?)
50/50 draws
any and all ideas are welcome, specifically those of which are unique to any Burns' night events that you have ever attended.
