    ***Fundraiser target***

    As you know, we've now raised over £70,000 for the charities on the fundraiser, over £32,000 on the current live fundraiser. I would like to set two targets for the fundraiser:

    1. Take the total to £100,000 by Christmas, which means the current fundraiser will need to raise £59,000 (another £27,000) in 4 months.

    2. If we can't take it to an accumulative total of £100,000, then at least take the current live fundraiser to £50,000.

    To put this in perspective, we need just £3 off every registered member in 17 weeks or approximately 35p per week from each active member.

    You've done a great job so far, let's make it even better.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    I've received some help and advice recently from some members and in return I am in the process of putting together some stuff to raffle off in SC for the fundraiser, hopefully this will take us a little bit closer to the target

    So six quid from each active member, shouldn't be too much of a stretch for anyone really!

    It is a remarkable achievement to date.

    I'm sure the collective can all do their bit.

    A small donation from me of £20 + gift aid, a small price to donate for great causes and a great forum.

    A donation to some excellent charities is a small price to pay for the enjoyment this forum gives me.

    Eddie you should be proud.

    And it's worth £20 to feel morally superior to all those charity avoiding dealers in SC that a few of us keep giving grief to!

    £20 from me plus gift aid, thanks Eddie for keeping this place running so well

    A great thing to have set up, Eddie, and that’s a significant sum that will help many people (and animals IIRC).

    Done, £20 from me.

    Much as I think some of the members on here are truly certifiable I do enjoy the banter. Don't know if that says much about me or them!

    Hope we reach the target

    Tenner donated, plus a donation pending from a trade sale (just need to make sure buyer is happy) and I'll chuck some goodies on the SC as well.

    £100k would be a bloody nice number to hit!

    It's been a while since I've chucked anything in too and it's all for a set of very worthy causes, so donation made.

    Let's get to that target!
