Charity Fundraising - The Plan

As I wrote a few months ago, I am thinking of resurrecting the fursuit furry fundraising group that I was a part of in 2007. The plan is to create a network of willing furs in the UK who would like to fursuit in public and raise money for local charities in the process.

What I need is a list of people who would be interested in joining me - both suiters and handlers. The plan is for you each to adopt one charity in your local area and then liaise with them to organise events at which you can suit. You may also be able to piggy-back on some events they have already planned.

I will create a website in due course, on which all fundraising dates and places will be announced. Then, other members of the community could offer their support to your charity and vice versa. Although I will attempt to co-ordinate things centrally - it is really up to you regarding how much you suit and what you do in your local area.

Commitment is essential as you may need to undergo a CRB check (which I beleive costs about £50) and you may need to fund your own transport to venues. I will help all I can.

If anyone is interested then let me know and we'll see if we can get this started again.

Eufuria - 4-6 June 2010

There is a new furry convention in the offing and it takes place in a city that is definitely worth visiting - Copenhagen, Denmark.

This will be the Nordic countries' first ever con but Pinky Fennec, the chairman, is hoping to make it a pan-European convention. Wolfie and I are almost certainly going to attend and it would be great if we can have a little UK gathering there. It is going to be an intimate and cozy affair - say 80 or so furs - so it will be a nice change from the massive cons that are becoming more and more the norm these days.

Copenhagen is easy to get to by cheap airlines and the highlight of the con promises to be fursuiting around Tivoli Gardens - a large outdoor funfair slap bang in the middle of Copenhagen. I may also suit in the adjacent Build A Bear Workshop.

The Danes are also world experts at deserts (Danish Pastries) and it is a really friendly and hospitable city so if you are stuck for things to do at the start of June, or if you are interested in sampling a European con that is smaller than EF, then I strongly recommend you to consider Eufuria :)
