Any good ideas for our fund raising do at the local water-mill next month ?
Last year I hired two mini-digger macines, with he objective of picking up concrete blocks with a metal loop on top three times from A to A, B to B & C to C, and putting tyhem back in place to win a fiver.
£3 a go,
Most succesfull, but I am looking at doing somethind more dramatis this time.
There is the notion of kids have a go at low-level bungy-jumping, but I think the health & safety bods mat draw the line at that one !
Any similar daft ideas to raise a few quid for charity ?

Hey there!
I've been heavily involved with nonprofit fund raising for years....so here are some ideas I have that could be relatively low in cost for your cause...
1) Consider a mail campaign - depending on how many mailing addresses you have, you never know how many people might respond to your cause and just write you a check! This works amazingly well for several organizations that are short on time AND resources.
2) Consider running an online auction - this is an AWESOME way to get to the people whose mailing addresses you don't have (ie you've got their EMAILS)...your email base can feel like they're using their expendable income on great stuff AND its going to their community at the same time!
I've included a link of one of the online auction companies that I've worked with...cMarket. They also have another website, BiddingforGood.com, that opens your auction up to all their members so that people who you don't even know can donate to your cause and bid on your items!
3) Instead of having a garage sale at your home, try having a "garage" sale on eBay! Think of it as a virtual way to get rid of some stuff AND make a little more money...(make sure you include the cost of shipping those items online or else you'll end up losing money!).
4) Have a fundraising event - give people in your community something to look forward to, and host a gala....you can sell tickets, have an auction, raffle prizes, etc that will give your community something to look forward to AND a perfect opportunity to donate to something they care about.
5) One last tid bit - consider selling sponsorships for your event...this can help off set some of your cost INCREDIBLY. You'd be surprised how many local businesses want to be a part of your cause-minded event! You can ask for anywhere around $500 per sponsor, and if you put your auction online, you can ask for even more than that because they'll be getting just that much more exposure through your website and event emails!
Best of luck with all of this!

Stability is Something That You Should Consider When it Comes to Crane Trucks
Scientifically, a crane is something that is used to lift heavy objects and have it transferred from one place to another. That concept gave people an idea: constructions need a piece of machinery that can lift unwieldy materials – materials and objects that cannot be easily lifted by a couple of huge men. Just to give everyone a brief history, it all started in Greece when they have used fulcrum and a lever to carry heavy objects. The fulcrum serves as the support and helps lift the heavy objects. As time pass by, people have created machinery that can easily lift a heavy load of objects, and they are being developed every now and then. Every time that development occurs, more and more features are being added and the function of crane trucks serves a greater purpose. Right now, it is not just created to lift a heavy load of objects, but it also ensures safety that the load will be transferred into another area with less force exerted by people.
<a href="http://www.i80equipment.com/crane-trucks.shtml">crane trucks</a>
can carry a light load of woods into heavy metals without requiring much force from people. Isn’t it nice that people’s lives are becoming a lot easier because of technology? How science works and how people discover and invent these things simply amaze me.
In every single part of the globe, there is an ongoing construction and crane trucks are something that each and every constructions site should have. Imagine, if crane trucks were not invented, people have to carry one log from one location to another. They have to go back and forth, and it may take too long before they could finish the task. But, with crane trucks, one operator can simply hop in the truck and transfer the logs without sweating too much.
There are various things that you need to consider whenever you are planning to buy crane trucks, but let me name one of the most important things that you should always consider: stability, and durability. Transferring large pieces of objects may be dangerous if the crane trucks that you have are not stable enough. We do not want these objects to just slip off from the crane, right? Stability also determines how much weight the crane could hold.
