MAY I please ask Citizen readers for assistance in compiling a list of fundraising ideas for volunteers such as church and school commitees and charity support groups.

I need unusual and imaginative ways of parting the hard-pressed public from more of their money to aid good causes.

Already the list of ideas has reached 325, with more being added weekly.

Auctions, barbecues and chariot racing through to yards of ale and zoo trips feature in the first booklet.

I look forward to receiving fresh ideas from readers and will gladly send a copy of the first list on receipt of a cheque for £3 payable to St Dyfrig's Church (my local charity).
