Hopefully the club will keep us posted on pledges. It'd be great if everyone could post their pledges on here. If we can get some momentum going, it might help persuade anyone who is undecided to join in.
It'd be great to hear from everyone.
Should we start a separate thread for pledges?
Perhaps we should, but it should be made clear this is not a competition, small amounts have as much weight as larger amounts.
Also that people should not be made to feel awkward if they can't afford such as £20/£25 per month.
I think donations are a private thing, I think it's up to the club to tell us how near we are in total.
If they do that we have got a handle on the size of the work left to do.
In other words, I can't see everyone posting on here what they have donated and so we will not be any the wiser. It's up to the club early next week to give us the lowdown on the first batch of donations, which after all will be the bulk unless something else is done.
I myself took my pledge form away from the meeting to save time, others might have done the same. I haven't decided what to give yet. Our lass says she would sooner give it to charity. She will be disappointed then.
I will give the form to Ray Green on Saturday. He will be selling Christmas Draw tickets on Donny market from about 10:30 for about three hours. I will get some of those as well.
If anyone is in Donny on Saturday go and buy some off him or Richard Tuby at one of his Newsagents.
You are correct it is not a competition. I will probably give £25 per month because i am in a position to do so. That does not mean that the person who can on give £2 is less important. I would say thanks for the £2.
I just thought if people could see on here that others were willing to commit to this it would spur them on also.
