I am going to trial an idea I had about the problem of sending money for quizzes and the fact that it sometimes goes missing prior to arrival.
Tesco gift cards. They are the size of a credit card and can be wrapped in the return envelope to disguise them; they can be 'charged' with a minimum of �1 and then in �1 steps to maximum of �100 ; they come with a cardboard folder on which a message can be written (eg how many quizzes requested) and this also adds another layer of disguise; they are light in weight so do not add to the postage costs; they are free of any extra charge to both sender and receiver, unlike postal orders or some cheques; they can be spent easily, unlike stamps; they have nice pictures on them (OK, getting silly now). As most people live near a Tesco they are easy to buy and exchange.
I can use them to pay for my shopping and put into the quiz fund the corresponding amount in cash (or note the amount for the final cheque to the charity).
I am not sure if other companies have a similar scheme but, as I live in the wilds of Cornwall, I am not near to other large supermarkets, chain stores etc. So if you would like to try this, TESCO ONLY PLEASE.
I hope to hear from you soon and also that you enjoy the quiz.
Afternoon JD ... EK here !!!
Got your e-mail but am having trouble at the moment repling. The Severn Way address on my quizzes is my home address so that would be your best option.
I will try to mail you later so fingers crossed.
PS ... I hope this one is as EASY as the last ... lol ... xx
