Post by: Darren on November 19, 2008, 06:51:38 PM
your bag for this. You will be given a bag on the way out at the Cambridge game
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. Any queries please contact me here altychiefsteward@ntlworld.com

You will be asked to take a bag on the way out after the Cambridge game. The leaflet on the bag explains what to do next even though they have spelt Altrincham wrong and put bags2school on the leaflet it will not affect what you put in the bag.
Thank you
