I organised the first two, and they went pretty well, and each raised about £500 for REMF. Brett did it last year, did everything that I did - not his fault that the council GOONS, the trophy GOONS, and a couple of the entered teams let him down.
I'm stupid, stupid busy at the moment covering for my sick boss at work, but if someone is happy to step up to the plate, I'll happily help them with the contact details for booking the pitches, where to borrow the goals from, etc. I can send you the teamplate from one of the earlier programs, which has the timetable and fixture lists all printed up - just edit the team names to the new ones.
I have stop watches, whistles and left over raffle ticket books too, plus white-boards and dry-wipe markers to keep the tables.
I'll be bringing my Exiles team once more, too, and will be aiming to go that final step after last years UNJUST defeat on penalties in the final!
One thing that is ESSENTIAL, is that you have someone who is not playing to assist on the day - keeping record of the results, updating tables, collecting money, etc. The lovely Lush, did it for me those first two years and was INVALUABLE.
Cheers
Simon
