are you open to offers for that? before it goes to auction
dale

[Auchinleckian]

Sorry, all the lots are being sold at the sportingold auction as we've agreement that there'll be no commission fees, and we're looking to raise as much as possible.

[Ann Orack]

Whilst I think this is Johns's thread can I update forum members.

Some time ago I offloaded a good few non league stuff via ebay and their Charity giving scheme. As a result £100 was raised that was gifted to Cancer Research. I advertised the fact on the ebay sale that I was doing under the footballprogrammecentre scheme to raise money for Cancer Research which is something ForestMick started with his cards.

It is highly commendable what the guys are doing but for obvious reasons didn't really want to get 7 bankers boxes of non league stuff flying about the country since it would have cost more in transport than they were worth

This message is for info only but when you come to tot up what was raised don't forget to add the £100

Have a good week end chaps and don't let your braces dangle!

Stirling work sir! The card I did on here also raised £60, and I've been donating a percentage of the proceeds from all my sales from ebay to Cancer Research, which at last count was around the £50 mark, and I will do this with all my sales on there. I think it's great how everyone has got involved in this, just shows that there are still some good eggs around.

Hi Chris, have just sent you down a parcel, special delivery, of the programmes that have been donated for Cancer Research from members of the Football Programme Forum. Your secretary said that they could be included in the November sale, but would much prefer it to be the December one as that's what we've been aiming for. They're being sold on behalf of Cancer Research, and I thank you for your generosity in agreeing to sell them for us commission free. I've explained all this in the letter accompanying the lots anyway. I'd also like to have a small bit in Programme Monthly about the sale if it's okay with you?
Similarly, when the accounts are ready for paying out, could you please ensure that the cheque is made out to Cancer Research rather than myself? I'll also try and get a photo shoot in the local paper, and will, of course, mention Sportingold when doing so,

thanks again, John

p.s could you please let me know when the parcel arrives?

[Auchinleckian]

There's also going to be a letter in next month's PM about the sale.
