[PoppyGrove]

the total is creeping up nicely


It is isn't it. I'm really surprised that we've raised as much as we have, especially so near to christmas.


After adding the 3 new receipts - new total is £306.31

Thank you everyone for your kind and generous donations of items, your generous bids and for the kind cash donations. The total would not have been possible without your support.

I know of one more payment to be added to the total, but not sure if there are any more after that. If you have money that you need to pay over, PM me and I'll reply with the details.

Once all the money has been collected, I'll be forwarding a cheque to the Gurkha Welfare Trust, as that is their preferred method. They'll send me a receipt which as soon as I get it, I'll scan and post a copy of it here for everyone to see.

Thanks again for your support.

[cornishmaid1961]

Isn't it just ! A great start to the new YDC year. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/4fvfcja.gif

[HerMajesty]

Thanks, babsnray for doing all the legwork on getting the final figures together!! Nice choice of charity -!!

[PoppyGrove]

Just checking to see if there are any more for any more before I sign off on a cheque to the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

At the time of typing - the total raised for the Gurkha Welfare Trust is ......... £306.31

I can't say enough thank you's to everyone for their kind and generous donations and support. I've had fun this month - I hope you have too.

[Tiskets]

[wyocowgirl1]

I just finished posting to all my sold items, They are in the mail! Given yesterday and today's weather, that's an accomplishment! I had to look for the teddy bear/Easter earrings. I put them away and forgot where, oh my I hope I don't get any worse at this. I am looking for a baby layette pattern, of course I last used it 15 years ago (is he really that old, all ready?).

[PoppyGrove]

just bumping this to see if anyone else has money to add

Oh well done Ava -


Just checking to see if there are any more payments to be transfered before I draw the cheque to the GWT - Total £306.31 - although I will round it up to £350.00 - I like round figures - they're so much easier to deal with. :o)

[PoppyGrove]

One more shout to see if there's any more payments to come through, before I draw the cheque.

[burgyeb]

shout! :-)

[gbsbks2010]

What a great result for a worthwhile cause!

[RonOne]

Brilliant result, will we ever know how much was raised by all the charities for YDC 84.
and will the sticky ever be updated.

[burgyeb]

At least 8 sellers posted in this thread amount given to alternate charities for YDC84. Some people may have posted to the pimp thread.

[RonOne]

That didn't answer the question.

[burgyeb]

Take a tally & report in this thread.

[meebo1]

This is what I found for other charities. You can do your own adding I hope
$12 AHA
$2 Chyenne Animal Shelter
$25 St.Bernhard needs a saint
£9.50 Janet's trust
£10 RNLI
£31 St.Raphael's Hospice
£13.50 Dog's Trust
£10 Disability Challenges
£20 Ruff Luck
£30 Aus disaster via shezz

[bykimbo]

That didn't answer the question.

Ron, that charm school bill... don't pay it, okay? ;)

Fabby totals for the difficult times we're in, well done everybody! We were running out local RNLI SOS fund-raising at the same time and I've yet to find out how much we made for that, but at least one eBidder contributed to that too - so once again I am overwhelmed by the charitable generosity of this little band. Bravo!!

[Tiskets]

For your information, my totals for YDC 84 were £3.00 from from RonOne, 2.94 from Cheaver and 5.26 from Tropical_Trish.

I paid postage and rounded up to £20.00 for Ruff Luck.

I have also placed the running total amount since starting Ruff Luck Rescue Charity on my About Me page

[meebo1]

I only did the total thingy for Ron's benefit. I hope he'll manage to add it all up

[PoppyGrove]

Just to update everyone - I have today sorted a cheque to the GWT for £350 being the total raised in YDC84 £306.31 plus something to keep it to round figures.
As soon as I get the receipt for this, I will scan and copy it here.

I just want to say Thank you to everyone who took part either by kindly donating items and / or bidding. I am really thrilled at the amount that your endeavours have achieved.

[Tiskets]

Yes, meebo, I forgot to put my totals for Ruff Luck on but didn't want to confuse the totals for Babs. I'll try and remember next time, it is nice to know just how many charities we are supporting.

:-))

I think maybe Ron is referring to this tally thread:

[PoppyGrove]

Just to keep you all updated - I have today received a lovely email from the GWT acknowledging their receipt of the cheque I sent them. They will be sending a formal receipt to me via royal mail which I should receive in a few days. As soon as I get that I'll copy it here.

Thanks again to all for your kind support of the GWT

[PoppyGrove]

Today I had a lovely letter back from the GWT thanking us for our donation to their cause, and a formal receipt acknowledging the £306.31 which we raised in YDC84 and my top up of £43.69 to give them a round figure.

I have problems uploading pics to the forums - have had since the new layout came into being - so to see the receipt and the letter please click the link below to my GWT album

Well done Babs what a great total.

I have problems with my own hosted photos on the forums but have found I can get around it by putting the url into the 'insert email' link on the toolbar - the little envelope icon - rather than the insert image link. Have a go and see if it works for you too.

[meebo1]

Very nice letter.
Now that is all sorted, we can concentrate on the next one. Do we know which charity Mat has chosen?

[PoppyGrove]

I think I saw something in the winners thread that he's chosen Mencap as his preferred charity.

[meebo1]

Thanks, I somehow missed that
