I hope that I can clarify the situation regarding the monies raised by CBF and at the tribute event held in recognition of Stuart's support for the local disadvantaged children via the 3C's.
Linda asked for all of the arrangements and communications to go through Lee, which the 3C's were happy to comply with.
John (Highlander) transferred £670 raised by CBF members.
The event held at Lee's bar raised 3,411.05tl plus £55.
Total converted to TL came to 8473.65 tl.
As per Linda's wishes, Lee was given the 6,400tl in March to cover the cost that he had paid to the company that he used for the grave, which I believe was from Antalya, leaving a balance of 2073.65tl.
The members originally preferred that the remaining balance of the money be used for a child with hearing problems. As we receive these requests intermittently, this was waiting for the appropriate opportunity.
We have never been contacted regarding further work on the plinth, so I was completely unaware that this has been a more recent extra cost. I am also surprised that this wasn't included in the original costs.
I was also unaware that Linda is here in Çalış at the moment.
Having spoken to John over the last couple of days, we have waited to see what Linda's wishes were regarding the remainder of the money, and John has reported that on this thread.
The balance will be paid to Linda, which of course covers the extra costs and she can then decide on the plaque that she would like.
Hopefully this clears up any questions.
Again, CBF have stepped up to help a very worthy cause, honouring the efforts of a lovely man who helped the local children in need.
Thank you
