Exclusive!-“Massive” fund-raising programme planned via music quiz-“Name That Tune”; “The official launch” in September/October 2009, hoping to spur many similar charity dinner events in Leics, Northants and Edinburgh until April/May 2010

New Facebook profile (sscom leics) seeks 1000 minimum “friends”, worldwide to compete in UK Top 10 chart hit game, set for late September launch-on-line, as live “charity” events in Leics, Northants and Edinburgh look to create tourism, and be a joint boost

 

An ambitious fund-raiser by being launched in Leicester is hoping to spur on to many similar charity dinner events, alongside Northants and Edinburgh. The SSCOM GROUP-(a Leicester based Voluntary PR agency) is set to launch and host music quiz nights in the form of “Name That Tune”. It is looking to kick-off the series by launching exclusively at a high profile Leics venue in late September/early October, by attracting a sell-out of at least 600, and then going on until late April/early May 2010, culminating in the “finals” in Edinburgh.

The project will be based on a mini-“Band-Aid” style charity drive. Hoping that the quiz nights will help to bring people together from the 3 cities, it is also hoping to attract people from across the UK, of which the group believes, will help benefit tourism. The events would take place on Friday and Saturday evenings, and so it will be an ideal chance for tourists to make “a real weekend of it”.

It is also looking to launch on-line via Facebook, under it’s profile name of “sscom leics”, on the evening of Sunday 27th September. With over 100 members at the moment, it is hoping to achieve at least 1000 minimum by the evening of 26th September. Both games will be based on UK Top 10 hits over the last 40 years. The quiz will put Top 10 chart enthusiasts to the test, as well as taking them down memory lane. It is expected that people who attend, will take part in groups of 10. The facebook profile will also be used to post exclusive pictures from the charity dinner events. Talented individuals and chart hit enthusiasts are needed to be part of a real music experience and something sensational. Local volunteers are also sought to help work on organising and “host” alongside SSCOM GROUP.

Founder of the Group, Ayaz Sheikh, from Leicester said, “This is an exciting project which, I’m hoping, will create a real buzz. From the official launch event in Leics to the finals in Edinburgh, come April/May 2010, it will be a real credit if we can make a positive contribution to tourism, work with the relevant bodies to achieve this and help make real weekends out of these events. We have a number of local charities in mind, to benefit from this project, just out of interest”. Operations Manager of the group, Dale Keeling, said, “People love music, so this will be an ideal opportunity to be put to the test and be in the chance of winning some great prizes. Also we are looking for local volunteers to help us out in the overall project; it will be very rewarding for all involved”.

Tickets will be set at a price of £40 per head or tables of 10 at £400 (including a three-course meal) at all venues in the 3 cities. Other additional options will be available. There will also be the chance to take part in auctions at the events.
