dalboy 2 Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Guys .. Want to start a collection for Neil ... Have yet to determine date and Location for the service . I will liaise with Paul and make you all aware .. My idea it to have a floral arrangement , i thought a Watch would be apt , have discussed it with a florist i have used several times before and who is based in Glasgow ... delivery of the flowers with not be a problem to the Inverness area. Should we raise sufficient funds i would suggest the surplus of the funds after payment to florist be donated to a Charity befitting Neil and of the families choosing .. The logistics of setting this up are wide and varied .. Here's what i am suggesting .. my Paypal a/c is currently Nil .. so i am suggesting to those who feel happy to donate an amount to it .. i will give you all a total at the end of each day .. . Trust plays a big part of us here and you all know i am a man of my word !! To be honest i cannot think of a simpler method .. .. The amount that each member will remain confidential , of course only i will know . Having spoken to the florist she is more than happy to make a Flower based watch .. and i have already sent here a couple of ideas to mull over .. Of course there is an alternative to a watch made3 from flowers , and that would be ..................... RWG .. in floral format .. please let me know your suggestions .. and assuming you are all happy with this i will continue forward .. I already have quite a few Pm's yet to read , please be patient , i will reply back to you , but as you all know i am on site during the days so will be easier to deal with when home from work.. I would welcome any suggestions from you .. and once all is confirmed i will give all those a pm with the PP details .. Thanks lads .... Finally ............................................. " Lets Do Him Proud " ........................ Dal. Please for respect lets keep this thread on Topic .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted January 11, 2017 I'm not sure I would include RWG in the arrangement. Definitely on a card, just not the arrangement itself. I look at it two ways - maybe people didn't know he wore reps and that might change their perception of him. Others may see it as a really bad time to be advertising. I think it's great the family know where it came from, just not everyone in attendance. I'll probably be chastised for my opinions, but that's how I look at it. Either way, I enjoyed reading Neil's posts so you can count me in for a few dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RWG will mean nothing , unless attendees knew him and his hobby , in which case they are probably a member here .. Point taken though .. and not really advertising just a common interest .. Dal.
