'Orns Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Paul - have just put a thread on the main forum I won a comp on talksport last night, getting something signed by Albert and hopefully by Alan Brazil, Ronnie Irani and Moose to add to the pot. I lad I work with has got a signed Cheltenham shirt through his gf's work, I'll see if he wants to add that to the list too. He was asking around the other day if anyone wanted it. Better that it goes to raising a few quid than sitting in a box at his house! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do want to get back to me at any time its probably best to PM me as I'll get to it more quickly. BTW - we're up to nearly £9,500 now. Fantastic! Paul..

CotswoldRed Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Apologies to anyone that might have left me message in the last week. We have been run off our feet but will get round to responding. Woodsy, I seem to remember you left me a follow up message so I'll be in touch shortly. The auction night was such a success it was simply unbelievable. Words are often used lighty but on this occasion it really is time to bring out the superlatives. So emotional, inspriational! Lets remember this was just a little village school hall in the Cotswolds. The evening ran like a dream, so many helpful people. Free audio/visual support from a pro outfit, champers etc. Around 200 turned up we think. A massive amount was raised. Including bar money and other bits and pieces the total was around £22,000 on the night! (excluding all other fundraising) That isn't a typo, I promise. People were bidding silly money on everything. A plastic duck which you borrow for the day for the local duck races- £220. A signed cricket bat, £1,700. 2 chicken and leek pies, over £200. Madness, utter madness. Unbelievably we have now ordered John's chair and I am so happy for him. John's condition has worsened recently and he cannot walk now. Thank God for the generosity of others, including all of you who helped. I'm a very humble Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset_Cider Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Even a tight fisted old git like me could manage a few quid for this kid COME ON YOU BCFC FOLK, SHOW US YOUR WAD AND LET'S GET THIS LAD MOVING! It don't stop here, money will also be needed for running costs/repairs etc. Stick a few quid in for ongoing costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
