Some Grand Ideas !

Years ago I started to collect ideas of how big money could be raised for bell restoration or augmentation projects. The intention was to do a little booklet entitled "Thirty Grand Ideas" and it would contain that many tried and tested ways of raising a 'Grand' £1000.

Well I'm not up to 30 yet and any of your own successful ploys would be gratefully received. But in this wonderful world of the Web I can just launch these for now and add others as received.

NONE OF THESE EVENTS WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT A LOT OF STRATEGIC PLANNING BUT MANY OF THEM ARE DEAD CERTS TO RAISE A GOODLY SUM IF DONE WELL.

As I get time to fill in the details they will appear as Hyperlinks but here is the list so far to whet your appetite...
