Hello 2008!

Well Hello!

The NYE Party cancellation caused enormous disappointment for many people and for us personally, it was a very testing and emotional time. But we’ve been in these situations before and so we dragged each other into 'solutions mode', took steps to ensure that Planet Angel would be OK and signed off to take a break!

And now we’re back, re-fuelled with positive energy and determined to move on positively. Almost all of the many hundreds of tickets have been refunded and we’re well into planning for the February Party (with a special announcement coming soon!).  As you might imagine, the loss of income from NYE has impacted seriously on Planet Angel as tickets sales are its only income (Planet Angel does not benefit from grants or public funds) and we’re looking at ways to recover the situation...

Recently we’ve received lots offers of support with many people asking if they can make financial contributions, which we truly and deeply appreciate. In view of this, for the first time we’re going to undertake some fundraising activities over the coming months to help recover the loss of income from NYE. Don’t worry; there won’t be gangs of people twisting your arm to give money! 

In true Planet Angel style we’re planning fun ways that people can choose to support the organisation without any obligation at all. The first is a raffle with several very cool prizes including free entry to the Party for the rest of 2008...! Tickets are just £2.50 each (or 5 for £10) and available on-line here . We’re still adding prizes and plan to make the draw at the end of February on Friday 29th, and we’ll publish the winner’s names on the web site.

We’re also working on other plans to raise funds in the coming months, if you have ideas or would like to contribute prizes or get involved in any other way please feel free to get in touch, we would appreciate the input. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support; the goodwill that has come to light over the past few weeks has helped us turn this situation around into something positive!

With love, Pete and Angel.
