Advent Calendar 2018 Fundraiser
« on: October 29, 2018, 19:28:15 PM »
It’s time for this annual fundraiser which members have kindly made a success since 2013.

(I am acutely aware that members dug deep recently to honour Stuart MacDonald but I’m really hope they can make this a success again because it's for the children.)

If you haven’t taken part before here’s how it works.

I have randomly allocated a number to the 25 days from the first to the twenty-fifth of December.

You choose a number(s) and I put your name against the date(s).

Behind each door of the calendar is a monetary amount – 10 x £ 6’s, 10 x £11’s, 4 x £ 16’s and 1 x £ 21.

By choosing a number(s) you agree to donate the amount behind the door. You can of course donate more .

I will open a door each day starting on the first to reveal the amount behind the door and the name of the person who was allocated that day.

There is, of course, absolutely no obligation to take part.

But if you have benefited from advice freely given and/or enjoyed reading the Forum please consider taking part.  It is for what I believe to a very good cause - helping kids who have very little.

PS As with previous years I am hoping that we can fill two calendars.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it's still October.  A bit like Easter eggs appearing in January...

Couldn't you have waited a couple of weeks at least?

Oops - sorry. Thanks legless (and KKOB).

It should of course.read Advent Calendar. perhaps admin would be good enough to edit title.

Please can we keep this thread for donations to help underprivileged children. I will address johnF's comment elsewhere.
