Comments on: Treasure Hunt - Saturday 29th March http://almerimarlife.com/treasure-hunt-saturday-29th-march A blog about living and working in Almerimar Spain. All about expats, spanish, travel, jobs, vacations, lifestyle, property and finance. Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:38:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Chris Marshall http://almerimarlife.com/treasure-hunt-saturday-29th-march#comment-8696 Chris Marshall Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:48:50 +0000 http://almerimarlife.com/treasure-hunt-saturday-29th-march#comment-8696 I agree another event would be too soon, but can't do anything about anybody else wanting to hold an event. My 'guess' is that a general apathy towards the event (based on feedback I have received) means it wont take place. I think an event every 6 months would be about right in the 'market' especially as a lot of people 'come and go' so we wouldn't necessarily be tapping into the same pockets every time.

I´m not sure if another event so soon after the Treasure Hunt is a good idea. My experience in organising charity events suggests that when they are repeated too often they tend to lose their appeal. Perhaps a bigger and better event next year might be preferable? Either way, I wish you every success in whatever you decide to do to help the stray cats.

Afraid I can't comment on the event relating to Manchester as it has nothing at all to do with us or this site. As far as this site goes we have decided that 100% of any fund raising activities we get involved in will be for the stray animals. We are planning one more event this year in Sep/Oct that will be based around a school sports day, and maybe a much smaller social gathering around Xmas. I have had a lot of people say to me that they don't understand or agree with the Manchester idea, but as I said nothing to do with us or this site. It was indeed a great success.

Many congratulations to all those who contributed, took part and organised the event. I understand that there is now a proposal for the community to become involved in raising money for a Manchester based charity. Why? Most of us live in Spain so perhaps we should consider a Spanish charity. I understand that the Treasure Hunt organised in aid of stray cats was a great success.

Setting up a 'charity' adds cost, time and resource. Associating with something already in existence takes it way from the specific area of Almerimar - and that has to remain the focus in my view. Maybe we can set up a group of people with an 'administrator' to handle the money. I am not at all bothered who handles the money - I just want to get as much as we can and for 100% to go the animals :-) I know that people don't always feel comfortable as you say and I respect that. Need to find a way around it I guess - which we will. See you tonight maybe at the wine tasting? I am sure that you are right but is as we say a Catch 22!

People and big companies could help with highers amounts of money if they know they are donating to something more settled. Do not take me wrong, you are doing a great job, but some people do not like to give money to individuals. See you on saturday!

I think initially we want to make this event work (you have been great in helping out - seriously couldn't have done it without you) and then make it an annual event - the longer we have to plan the 'bigger' we can make it. We also want to try and do a 1/4ly event i.e. Poker Run, Car Boot Sale, whatever. The more people that are willing to help the better - it isn't something that we want to compete over at all. Sure, that would be great.

We will stick to the one cause of the Stray Animals here in Almerimar. We do other 'personal' charity support/stuff for a number of causes, but as far as physical resource and the blog is concerned want all our efforts to go on the one cause. Sounds good.

Is the team Pam is chasing Lisa or someone else? Will make up the start sheet for Driké now and will make up the others when we have details. Have just been up at El Ejido with Sharon from Alcor Properties to source a trophy. We have chosen one which should be delivered to their office tomorrow all being well. It should have space on it to put names of future winners as well on the basis that Jacqui and I would be happy to run a treasure hunt event at least once a year. Will look to get it engraved with the name of the winning team early next week. If the winners are locals they can keep the trophy and return it for the next time we have a hunt. If they are not locals we can leave it on display in the office at Alcor Properties. We preferred this approach when we were running hunts back in the UK as over time there was a bit of history attached to the trophy. Guess we need to confirm the 5.30pm start time on Saturday 29th March at the Piramide with all the team captains in the next day or so. Most of them probably know already but worth checking with them all via phone or email. Good stuff. Is the team Pam is chasing Lisa or someone else?

So will probably get the money off them after our golf drink up there on Friday afternoon. MacGowans have offered the same as well. Will try to speak to the other bars soon but if not before when we do the check that all is well on Friday evening. In the meantime, if either Chris or Sandra is in any of the other bars feel free to speak to them before we get around to it. Just let us know so we don´t hit on them twice.

Lisa is a definite but didn't have the cash to give Pam today so has promised to give to you in the next couple of days. The Yacht team should pay tomorrow night at the quiz and may end up as 2 teams. In addition Irene has an extra half a team and we have passed some names to her of people who may be interested in filling the gap. So 14 is looking fairly good as a final number with Alberto still to confirm. Great news.

Yachting team 2.

Also, if possible, it is worthwhile looking to get pairs of marshals in each bar as it can get quite busy for one person if a lot of teams arrive at the same time. Give us a shout if you are short of people and we’ll look to find some more marshals to help out.

One definite and a second definite if the weather doesn't improve (they were planning to be away sailing). Also Irene is definitely putting in a team of her fitness ladies, and her husband Mike has agreed to be the 6th marshall. SO we now have 11 definite teams, and I think 4 more possible we are chasing.
