lets have a DSC raffle
2000 plus members, say you sell 1000 tickets at a fiver each £5k
6 prizes only - comprising
paid for ACU/New Era licence and membership
1 race entry
free bike use on the day
The math-
ACU/New Era stuff £140x6 = £840
Race entries £100x6 = £600
leaves £3.5k to buy, prep and run a bike for the year
bit tight - up the ticket price by a pound or two -
obviously I would'nt buy one (unless the DSC bike is better than mine) but for everyone else - fair game and no-one argues over who gets the ride
in fact, anyone want to ride #65 for the day next year, £10 a ticket, restricted to the first 1000 entries
