Those posts keep the topic at the top of the unread content list.

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted April 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2020 Valid points Mr Western and exactly why I didn't jump in by mentioning my contribution - Doh! Gone and dunnit now though! ...but it does show the level of support (peer pressure?) and keeps the topic live. I'm so glad this initiative has taken off.

And as Andy earlier said there will be other ways to donate on Sunday Let’s just forget the negative and cynical for a bit and let this be a little beacon of positivity? No one is shaming for not posting and I posted it in the smile thread just to spread awareness. I didn’t join the Cptn Tom donations because I chose to go to the local appeal that out charity group at work has supported for years and is also supporting the staff in cov19. Donate what, or if for many, you can afford it and where you choose but by saying thanks on the thread you make this visible Edited April 23, 2020 by PaulRhB 7 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted April 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2020 Had a debate with Andy as to whether there could be some Millionaires shortbread in the raffle.

Being very much a Southerner I don't care for much cuisine which emanates from north of Winchester, however I do recall enjoying one or two of these things on AY's recommendation / coercion at the first members' day in the badlands of Derby or somewhere in 2007. And I lived to tell the tale... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted April 23, 2020 Author Moderators Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2020 As we sail steadily beyond the £3,000 mark I would particularly like to thank those donors from overseas; I'm sure you have similar pressures and calls on contributions so it's particularly appreciated that you support what's happening here. 13 8 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
