News: Comeonyousaintsdotcom launches Saints with Heart 9
By COYSDC
July 24 2010
Now we have negotiated with the Saints regarding fixtures, I'm happy to announce that this year's Saints With Heart walk will be on 2nd October, the date of the Exeter game.
Over on the SWH board there's all the details you should need - how to register as a walker (or bucket shaker), where to get all the details you need, as well as details of how to set up online sponsorship.
Once you're registered, you'll receive a walker's pack with sponsorship form, route map, poster and a SWH lanyard. Then you have to go and coerce family, friends, colleagues and random passers-by for their money!
Feeling really keen? Then take on the task of walking in another club's signed shirt and get their fans to sponsor you - and each of your sponsors will then have a chance of winning the shirt. Details on the SWH message board.
We will especially need more bucket shakers than in previous years, as the plan will be to sell lanyards and badges on the day. Those people who buy one (or more!) will get entries into a prize draw.
Also, volunteers are needed to hand out leaflets at Saints home games before the walk, to try and recruit more walkers.
Anyone who would like to donate prizes to SWH that will either go into the prize draw, or an auction to be held on the quiz night, please let me know what you have and it can all go into raising more money.
In total, over the last eight years, we have raised over £94,000 for the British Heart Foundation. With your help we can smash the £100,000 barrier this time around.
Questions? Comments? Random heckles from the back? Send an email to saints_with_heart@hotmail.co.uk and they will be answered as soon as possible. Please read the details on the SWH board first, to see if your question has been answered.
You can also join the Facebook group:

I have a couple of litres of scotch as a donation to do with as you will.
Let me know when and where.

Make sure you have plenty on hand and is reserve,(if you are running short.) We found out 'no freebie, no donation'. It might have been just coincidence, but....be warned.

Bridesmaids no more.
If you think that is sufficient, then fine.
Granted that Mark Hopley went round the boxes at the Matt Hampson 'game' and twisted a few arms, but I do recall that we collected in excess of £1000 (perhaps a lot more...St Ann will know.)I would hate to feel that you could run out of 'freebies'.Although I guess you have previous SWH collections to go on.
