How about "knock over a windmill day" with the most ingenious effort winning the prize of free semtex for a day.

i like going to see comedians
"kind of market research" or stuck for ideas for your cancer research fun days? at least be upfront about it and then you wouldn't have cynical peeps like myself posting on this thread

Cynicism has its place and it has to be in the right place. If your intent was to knock the wind out of the sails of the OP just for helping others then this thread is not the place for you.
yeah get your dig in Rheg as per usual. you are quite adept at having a dig at others and knocking the wind out of their sails yourself...
As for the OP's request, theres a total apathy about doing something for charity round here. just look at the flak Durrand's garage got for organising a charity car-wash.....
If you want ideas however....
Fancy Dress - Pay to come to work in fancy dress. (H&S permitting)
Guess the Baby competition - photos of the staff / colleagues as babies.
Fashion Show
Concert / Play / Musical Evening
Trivia Quiz - Pop / Sport / General Knowledge / etc.
Fete
Car Boot Sale
It's a Knock Out
Sponsored Silence
Sponsored Haircut
Five / seven a side football / rugby / hockey / etc.
Sponsored Walk
speed nut unbolt on a wind turbine stand day - fastest with a socket set gets the prize
throw the wet sponge at rheghead day
the list is endless....
An apology would have been enough and you would have gained some respect.

We are not stuck for ideas we have lots of them thanks
was just interested to see what everyone else would like,
we cant do every event that comes up but its nice to hear other people's views
and your not cynical you just like to be heard even if you dont have anything helpful or nice too say..
but then you did have something nice and helpful too say and actually came up with some good ideas and thank you for that..
but it would of been nicer if you just said that in the first place rather than put a pointless comment.
Julie.
I would'nt worry about people and they're silly comments, they obviously have no interest in helping a worth while charity like Cancer Research, good luck with anything you do to raise funds.
Some people need to get a grip and stop writing crap and learn if you have nothing interesting or helpful to say KEEP your mouth SHUT !!!!!
i like them silent auctions :) x

Yeah big mouth.
Yeah big mouth.
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR FATHER TO CANCER LIKE I DID AND WATCHED HIM SUFFERING WHILST ON DIAMORPHINE THEN YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE TO SHUT UP!
until then, keep your big mouth out of it!
As for Rheghead, i won't apologise just because you decide its needed, i'll apologise when and as needed!
Like you i have sadly lost plenty close relatives, and like you i can write what i like on here, not nice when tables are turned.
Just hope the lass gets plenty of support to raise funds for this horrid disease (as some might not know) THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT FUND ANY RESEARCH AT ALL !!!!!!!!!

Farmers Market would actually be quiet nice! good idea,
It is heartening to see that there is enthusiasm for a farmer’s market here. However, in truth, there are very few small independent food producers in the area. At Mey Market we have tried to attract such producers wherever possible but it has not been easy. I am sure that the organiser of Wick market would agree that food stalls are difficult to recruit and even harder to keep. The harsh reality is that, whereas in Inverness there might be a wealth of stalls, there is also a much larger customer base with more disposable income to pay the higher prices that inevitably result from a premium product. If a producer has to spend a whole day behind a stall there has to be sufficient revenue for them to continue to do that. At Mey Market we have tried really hard and do now offer fresh veg., fruit, eggs, smoked products, home baking, bread, savouries, fresh meat and plants. We are about to start our third season, and rely very heavily on the loyalty of our customers, but we do need to add other stalls besides food, including a rent free charity stall each week, in order to sustain this market, and attract the maximum number of customers, otherwise we won’t be viable. Whilst we may not offer the fabulous range of products so often seen in farmer’s markets further south, we are trying, and I am sure I can speak for all those involved when I say that we are all very proud of what we have achieved, and hopefully we can meet some of the wishes expressed here. At least pay us a visit and see what is on offer (dates and times on the What’s On pages).
How about a triathalon? Run from Dunbeath or Alltnabreac to Westerdale, cycle to Halkirk, then canoe the last section on the river to Thurso. Wind on your back all the way, it'd be a doddle!

I was actually thinking about something like that! personally i think it would be a great idea! We are doing a Masked Ball in November, I am hoping its going to be busy busy so maybe the Jobs fair could be our next event,
This is kind of market research..
What event's would you actually go too?
Thanks! :)
Julie
I think that there is a place for special day to celebrate all the wayward apostophes which litter Scotland.
We could call it National Apostrophes Day.
