Bag2TheFuture is launched
Who are Bag2TheFuture?

They are a business which specialises in collecting second-hand clothes in their original condition, these
are then sold to developing countries in Africa, the Indian sub-continent and parts of Eastern Europe.
http://www.bag2thefuture.org/ for more info


What is it?

If you have any good quality secondhand clothing, bedding, curtains, soft toys, shoes (tied together
please), belts and handbags you could donate.  (NO Bric a Brac) Please start saving these items now.

How do I do this?

On Saturday 22 November 2008, at the Cambridge game you will be asked to take a donation bag
home and fill it with the above items is possible.  If extra bags are required you can just use a ordinary
bin bag.


What do I do with my bag then?

Please return your bag with articles to Altrincham Football Club on Sunday 30 November 2008
between 10am - 3pm.  Please look for the signs and somebody will be there to take it from you.


What happens next?

The bags will be collected by the organisers Bag2TheFuture on Monday 1 December and be taken
away to be weighed, the club will receive £200 per ton, basically the more we collect the more money
will be made (if we don't make the ton, we still get paid for as much as the items weigh)


How much does this cost?

The cost to you is nothing apart from a bit of time filling your bag and bringing to Altrincham Football
Club on the above date.  All bags are supplied by organisers.

Please note all bags are checked before weighing.

Will you be able to collect my bag?

No door to door collections will be available.

Can I bring my bag to the game on the 29 November 2008?

The answer is no as no storage space will be available.

Please do your best to support the above scheme it is not very often we have a fundraising idea that
doesn't involve you putting your hand in your pocket.

Whenever we have a door to door collections around here, a group of albanians/lithuanians turn up about 15 minutess before the real charity vehicle in a battered ford transit with spastics society or somthing similar painted on the side but spelt wrongly and whip all the clobber to sell it on at a profit - FACT

So its best that it needs to be taken to thre ground, and yes Im not making it up, people really are that low!
