NSC Christmas charity collection

[Buzzer]

Okay chaps. Following on from another thread, I'm proposing a charity collection to the firemens charity.

I've got paypal, so presumably you lot could paypal me and then I could collect it and pay it over.

Never done this before so a) anyone up for it? and b) is it easy to do?

I'd publish donations together with proof of receipt to the charity on, say the 24th December or around then?


EDIT : My paypal email is: burrowslee@hotmail.com



MODS - can we make this a sticky, if the idea catches on please?


EDIT - Only needs to be a pound or so.

happy with that.

paypal is easy, if you let us have your e-mail address those of us who have a paypal account can simply make a payment to you by accessing via your mail address.

count me in.

I play cricket against barcombe, loads of the team are from the local fire station

 

[Bry Nylon]

Count me in, too.

Cheers, Buzzer.

Can I suggest when making donations you add a bit to cover paypal fees, I think its 3.4% + 20p - so if you donate £10 make it £10.54.

Also, Buzzer, you might want to see if you can download something from the charity to fill in when paying over the funds so you can confirm whose donations are covered by gift aid thereby enabling them to reclaim a further 28% from the government.

Or just list all the payments and put a column at the end headed Gift Aid and tick those who say yes - if you pay tax say yes

Up for that aswell. Let me know how to.

I think we should go to one of the games around the christmas period DRESSED UP in BLUE SANTA COSTUMES, for charity of course.

Sounds quite complicated and time consuming etc - but I would never knock anybody for wanting to get involved with Buzzer's worthy cause, in whatever way they choose.

So, I will gladly ADD £20 to the amount I already plan to donate to the NSC Christmas Charity Collection if you attend a game in a blue Santa costume and post photographic evidence on the Big Board. Please do it

Fire Service Collection At Withdean

A collection is to be held at Withdean on Saturday night for the families of the two firemen that died last weekend.

Geoff Wicker, a retained firefighter, and support officer Brian Wembridge died after an explosion at a fireworks depot near Lewes.

Mr Wembridge was a close friend of Dave Amiet from East Sussex Fire & Rescue, who is seconded to the club's community team to promote fire safety to young people in the county.

Albion chief-executive Martin Perry said, "One of the men killed in the tragedy was a close colleague of Dave's, and the club therefore feels we too have lost a colleague.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families that have lost their loved ones and their colleagues in the fire service who will feel their loss very deeply."

Done

 

[Lander]

How much is in there now?

I'll donate at the ground. Paypal earns enough as it is without it taking a bung from charitable contributions. No offence meant.
