[Thanks again Donny! it arrived today and nobody can accuse the Scot's of being mean :) With your 50 quid you have lifted the raffle takings to £164 !!!!
and as you can see the tickets are all in the tin....... and there is more......

Uncle Roy,not content with being a major contributor has sent to me for the winner, Two Steel CD's and the promise of a years free membership of the BSS.
The draw will be made by Ross Williams-Glick The St.Neots Tesco Community Champion. about halfway through the gig.
There are plenty more raffle tickets left in the book if anyone feels the need to have a go ???
Danny your numbers are 95 to 114 Donny your numbers for up there are 115 to 164
Thanks to all for supporting this worthy cause.

861 members on here and only half a dozen contribute! what an indictment on our community, we know we have a few here who have serious connects to this illness and commit heavily but my goodness! This is a sad showing from the larger membership! Are you all spent out after 'children in need' .... not to the tune of a quid I wouldn't think.. Would you go busk at Tesco ..... I think not!
I am normally the mild mannered diplomat here but ! Come on people! .. get behind this for goodness sake!
When you want something or want to sell something you are all on here so fast!
But where are you when one of your 'brothers of the bar' is TRYING to make a difference!
The support here for a man who has done bucket loads for our steel community in the UK in recent years............ is frankly pathetic! :evil:


Outspoken! ... Perhaps a tad! .... For my daughter (39yrs) to reach any reasonable age will require treatment in the UK but most probably Europe at the current cost of £70k+ and still no guarantees!.... Try fund raising for that!

Pull your fingers out for JD here for goodness sake!!

As Bob say's "JD has done bucket loads for this forum." Come on Guy's, only four days left to add your support. Christmas is a time of good will to all men, especially to a diamond like John. Forget the Raffle Prize, the real prize is showing that this forum supports it's dedicated members who care about people less fortunate than ourselves. :evil:

Put me down for £20 worth of tickets. As I've no use for the prize - if I win just draw another one, or sell the prize and donate the proceeds to your cause ;)

But I can only bank transfer or Paypal (no cheque) - just PM me with instructions.
