Hi all,
As you all know the 2015 Australian lure expo is being held in Ipswich Qld on the 18/19th of july. The past few years the site have run a raffle with lures made and donated by makers from this site, which has been drawn at the expo, the funds raised have gone back to this site to help with costs etc. Ive contacted Tony and he has given permission for me to advertise a raffle for the upcoming expo event where funds raised from this raffle will be donated back to Fitzy to help keep the expo afloat....thanks Tony! Another fundraiser for this site will be organised later in year. The past couple of years the expo has been successful in terms of attendance and general interest, but in reality there has been a reasonable shortfall to cover ALL costs involved, and this has been left to one person to pay from his own pocket....to cover final costs. The Idea of this raffle is to raise funds and put back into the expo to help towards this years costs...if the event is a success and makes a profit, then the funds from the raffle can then be put into the 2016 expo to improve it where needed. Lets face it...whether your a Luremaker or a Collector or just generally like lures and all to do with fishing...the EXPO benefits all in someway, and Id just like to see us all chip in to help keep this event going and give it a chance to expand in time. ID like to think that there are enough generous members on here...both MAKERS AND COLLECTORS that can donate something they make or collect to make this a worthwhile raffle? The plan is to display the raffle prizes at a stall at the expo, sell tickets to everyone, incl the public at the event.. and draw the prize on the last day, to maximise the number of tickets sold. RAFFLE 1...new Aussie lures. will consist of lures made and DONATED by members or new unused Aussie lures in packets DONATED by non luremakers...No color theme...keep it simple...if you can make or have a lure you can donate to help fill the raffle display it will be appreciated.....you don't have to be the best luremaker out there to donate....if you cant make one buy one to donate to help out :) RAFFLE 2....Collectable Lures. Will consist of LURES DONATED by collectors/Makers.....lures need not be brand new condition (but can be)....basically lures that could start someone off with a collection....this could be a lure/lures you have doubles of, older ones that are marked etc etc, it may be a newer lure that you think is collectable....obviously the more interest it generates the more funds can be raised...but a decent group of mixed lures old and new will interest many people im sure. Please mention by posting on here if you are willing to donate or "PM" me (im fine with that :) you can post your lure/lures donation to me, or if attending expo they can be given to us for display on the day (just let me know if your planning to do this prior to event)....obviously the lures would be needed for display from day 1 so if not attending till late it would be best to post item in advance so display can be completed on early on day 1. I will give my postal details to those kind enough to donate when needed. As lures arrive, I will update pics etc leading up to the expo, so that members who may like to DONATE by purchasing tickets but cant attend Expo can see the two separate prizes. Anyone attending expo, please WAIT to buy tickets there...I will be selling tickets all weekend at the venue....and if you don't find me.. I "WILL" find you :) Thanks in advance, Im sure BOTH these raffles will create a lot of interest, and certainly help the EXPO move forward for the benefit of all regardless of your involvement. Ticket prices are yet to be discussed, once we see a few pledges come forward, and get an idea of how large the prizes will be I will post up ticket prices....they wont be any more than previous years. Please consider making this raffle a success, its for a good event that im sure no one would like to see fold. Jas |

I can find a lure or 2 for the first raffle and maybe something for the second.
Just a thought, depending on how the expo is set up, Fitzy may not be legally allowed to make a profit or carry over funds for the next expo. This being the case, then if there are any left over funds, then it could either go to Tony for the site - or held to help cover next years expo.

thanks martin.....yes as mentioned in the description...any money raised will go to making sure any costs this year are covered...if covered....it can be used to promote next year...as for funds back to tony, we/I are as mentioned planning things for a bit later in year to help for the site fundraising..
To date no one this year had organised a raffle, and time is running out..i contacted asking his thoughts before doing this...he agreed. My intentions are not to take anything from this site, but to show how much this site appreciates the event in a small way. Im doing this to help out someone that does months of hardwork behind the scenes just to make it happen...end of the day if he breaks even and we can help him do that and take his wife out for dinner to make up for lost time organising the event id be happy :) Im not contributing this year by paying for a stall, so I just wanted to help put something back into the event since I will be there anyway. PS your names down for an hrs walking around selling tickets! |

I love the site and the Expo, how would you like the lures for donation to be dilivered. Are you wanting them to be posted to your address before the Expo or delivered the morning of the Expo.

Hi BillyA,
very much appreciated....if lures could be posted it would be easier as it would be good to have them displayed all together before and ready for doors to open early saturday morning, also I can then add group photos on here as lures arrive, to create interest for those that cant attend expo to be able see the lures. if you want my address just send a pm and I will reply to you. thankyou Jas |
