Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I have suggested to our core team that we spend down our pot before it gets absorbed into central funds, they’re less cynical than me and don’t believe we’ll lose it

I'd like to transfer the contents of our entire pot to the junior event at the same venue which is currently waiting for fundraising.

I can't do that, but I can't justify spending the mass of money we've got on cakes and signage.

I can't spend it on batteries for the PA, as one of our parkruners runs the battery shop in town and won't let us pay him!

It's like that film, "Brewster's Millions"!
