Major Fundraising Event: 'Gold Coast Ramble'

Assistant Governor David Baguley gave a brief presentation of a major multi club project his club, the Rotary Club of Gold Coast, is planning: The Gold Coast Ramble.  "I am a great believer in not re-inventing the wheel", David stated.  Perusing the pages of the Australian Rotary Magazine 'Rotary Down Under', he came across a project run by the Rotary Club of Mill Point in Perth WA.  He contacted the club, went over to have a personal look at it and was very impressed by what he saw.

 

The Perth Ramble is a multi club project, designed to be a Treasure Hunt and 4 hours family adventure.  Teams are encouraged to wear costumes, corporate teams are invited to compete.  The event is brought up to the modern era by running an App so people can get the questionaires via their tablets or smart phones at each station.  And just to ensure that there is no cheating: two teams arriving at the same time will not receive the same set of questions... The target audience is 19 to 49 year olds.  Sponsorship is available at each station, so local Restaurants and businesses can have a table setup right in front of their venue.

 

Over the past 5 years the event has been run, it has raised over $300,000.  Not to be sneezed at!  You can get more information about the Perth Ramble from this address:  www.perthramble.com.
