BHA wheelchair team qualify for European Champions League - need to raise £5k ASAP!

[portlock seagull]

BREAKING NEWS: I believe our all conquering POWERCHAIR team have been selected to play in their official competition (knock out tournament) in Denmark in 2-3 weeks (and have a decent shout at bringing back the cup with big ears!)

A convoy of vans will be heading to Denmark a la The Italian Job. Funds are tight (rules are the club, AITC etc cannot contribute) so I'm sure an appeal will be forthcoming and people will give what we can to ensure our team can meet the costs of competing (petrol, hotels, food...it's a lot to get 10+ chairs, 6 lads, helpers etc over there and back even with volunteers!)

But what a fantastic moment for these lads, coaches and everyone involved. Makes you proud by association: the first official club team to compete in the European Cup. Let's hope they bring it home for all of us (and Mr Bridger...now 'get a bloomin, move on, tickty boo, tickty boo' )

Well done

Done! Cheers for the link Phil.

Just a thought tho, meant in a purely positive way, could BHAPFC not register as a charity thereby making them eligible for Gift Aid? Would boost any sums raised by a whopping 25%. Donors wouldn't have to do anything more strenuous than tick a box while making their donation. Worth looking into, I'd have thought.

BHAPFC Championes!

Interesting idea, not sure. Perhaps one of the lads or management can comment? Anyway, yep done my donation too. Come on you super seagulls! Flying high over EUROPE!

Maybe consult seriously with your opposite numbers in Albion In The Community - who ARE a Registered Charity. I'm sure they'll be only to happy to talk you through the steps to do the same. Good luck

Be great if we could get this thread promoted more.
How many thousands visit NSC every day? £... each would soon cover the costs
I think the £5000 they are trying to raise is way under the actual costs. With 14 people, inclusive of the 6 players at £500 a head for accommodation at the tournament plus all the other expensives, it's a really expensive trip for the lads.
Help from the Brighton fans would go a long way!!

Perhaps ammend the thread title? I only just opened it because I thought it was just going to be a load of nonsense ( on here? NEVER!).

Anyway, I'm absolutely skint at the moment but will donate an hour of my wages on pay day (£7.20, which is why I'm skint)

Players, Parents and carers make up a chunk of the balance I'm sure, but every quid helps for sure too though.
