Dry July 2010

[WF1964]

Have just sent out an invitation to donate to all and sundry in my inbox.
I feel really uncomfortable doing that sort of thing, but I guess if you don't ask, you don't get.

Good work WF1964! I'm holding off till July before I spam everyone

all "Gold Tickets" appreciated

Will you actually use it? And any specific day? Maybe the 4th since it's the birthday of the USA? We know you'd want to celebrate that!

For those that are unable to join in or support Dry July, check out

" I CAN'T REMEMBER SEPTEMBER "

This event is designed to raise funds for struggling local publicans & their families.

It's it's not going to be a picnic, even for those of us that have been training hard.
But , with support you can do it, staying blind drunk day & night for a whole month!

OK for some it might seem easy, what's adding a few more days you say? no big deal, but for some it represents a real challenge , so get behind your mates.

Think of the revenue this could raise if you stick to it , think about the improvements this may enable at your pub.., new cold plates, flushing toilets, a beer garden the possibilities are endless.

And you can stand up & proudly say " I CAN'T REMEMBER SEPTEMBER, " I was there all the way,


apparently.

With Dry July looming, June is looking to be one of the wettest on record ...

You guys have this concept all arse about.

If you really want to raise money, don't give up drinking for the month, increase your bingeing! Just get people to sponsor you for twice the price of each drink you consume during the month. Half goes to you, and the other half goes to the cause.
You thus get to drink for free, and therefore will be encouraged to drink many times more than even drunks like you usually do, and with each drink the cause gets more and more money.

See? Win win.

And to start you off, I won't even charge you for the benefit of this wisdom.

You could even call it Sly July. And you can have that pithy slogan free too.

preceded by "Goon Strewn June" or "Boon June" (in honour of David Boon's 52 can flight from London to Sydney - a 24 hour flight)

Ah, they don't make 'em the way they used to ...

Last chance to get your donations in today to get a tax deduction for this year.

Meanwhile. We have our last chance for a drink tonight.
