JAMBO.LOU Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have been on the phone to Hearts this morning about the possibility of hosting a family fun day. They have given me the go ahead, just need to confirm dates and a few other details - health and safety etc - but at the moment its all looking good. Hearts have agreed that the cup could be there for photo's for a period of time and I have spoke to a photographer who will donate her time and the prints. I am going to be phoning round today looking for people to donate their services but thought i would come to kickback first. If you, or you know someone who could help please let me know. I am looking for : face painters hair braiders clowns balloon modelling arts and crafts people to set up tables making things groups to put on short displays home bakers tombola prizes raffle prizes also open to ideas from anyone for things to be included in the day. Was also thinking about having a Jambo Santa arriving - anyone want to be Santa for a day? I am hoping to get players past and present to attend and maybe do autographs/photos. I understand it may be hard for people to commit to anything without a date in place but just wanted to get the ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I am of little use for any of the categories you listed but if you need extra hands just to help out, I would be more than happy to come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambogee1974 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Wonder if they would allow a beat the goalie or something. Could be a competition between say adults male, females and junior male and females. With a quarter,semi and final. ?5 a go and a signed ball for winners?? Think it would go down well if maybe Henry smith was willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB-14 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Okay a few things, the best person to contact about Community Pitch is Alan White - [email protected] The speedcage is a speed camera basically to test how fast someone can hit a shot we've used at a few community events in the past it's a good laugh. The wonga balls are out of use, as they were badly damaged over last season and new ones have not been sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav M Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 If the cash dash balls are out of use what about the house window affair that was the half time entertainment at the recent home game? If the community pitch gets the go-ahead you could have that at 1 end and the penalty shoot out at the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't actually belong to Hearts either, it's Wetherseals property they brought it specifically for half time and take it to stadiums around the country.

Depending on size of venue and if it's suitable we might be able to provide some indoor activities for the kids. If someone wants to give me a call happy to discuss.

Absolutely, many of the shows were crammed into the corners of libraries or in classrooms. I have contacted the other two but I am sure that both of them (Celtic and Partick Thistle fans) will be delighted to help. I will PM you once I have confirmation from them.
