Last Orders Tolworth Gymnastics Club

Dot forget to place your order for your childs photograph , you can do it online in the online gallery at www.picture4u.co.uk using the username and password provided by the club, or you can order in person at the club itself
the online tgalleries will be closing on jan 31st , but dont panic i will keep the images for a while longer incase anyone has forgotten

Tolworth Gymnastic Club

at the end of last year i was asked to help Tolworth gymnastics club with their fund raising
i spent a few days in the club with a portable studio with the children and took almost 3500 images
the images were then processed to proof books and a password protected web page and the sales of these images have so far generated nearly £1500 profits for the clubs funds
the money will be used to get new equipment for the children to use,

it was a lot of hard work but well worth the effort in the end,

if you have a club or charity your envolved with that you think this type of fundraising scheme would benefit please feel free to give me a call

Raising money for nurseries and kids groups

when im not doing portraits or weddings i like to get envolved with local schools and kids groups and we raise money for their funds through the sales of the childrens photographs this week i have been totting up the money raised from last terms sessions and delivering the funds we have raised by the sale of their nursery or club photographs,
The check book is getting a bit of a battering and im convinced the accountant is going to throttle me next year as i plan to ramp this activity up over the next few terms but im pleased to report that i have helped raised these local clubs and schools over £600 already ,
nice to give something back ...aswell as giving the parents great pictures.......no more borring schools mugshots!!!!!!
