trailboss99 997 Posted February 17, 2009 UPDATE All who have donated as of 05.50 GMT should have had tickets sent. If you have not PM me. We are working on the issue of paying by PP but it doesn't look good ATM. Most of us will have CC anyway. KEEP DONATING! What's 3.3USD? Hardly buys a beer does it? We don't care if you can only afford one ticket or 100.It all makes a difference! Due to the number of book buyers I feel that people are not giving small amounts 'cause they think it won't help. Nonsence! Even 5 bucks makes a difference and is as welcome as 50. Also, the Geeks are now in the lead for total donations! Shurly that's not on? Keep it comming folks, there's a whole swag of prizes our there to be won. See the main post for the start of the auction for the NFL jersey. It's at 50 bucks ATM. The jersey itself is worth 300 and it's signed! Many thanks to all who have donated so far. Give yourselvs a pat on the head. And more of you post here when you do please? It looks like no one is giving! Regards, Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offshore 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Onze, Thanks for all the assists! I'm sure Col is most grateful. For me it is a bit of a "my country" thing to try and help...for Col it is his heritage and passion. We Aussies, are just so thankful, that there are so many friends out there, in the bigger world, who are all chipping in, each in their own way, to offer us an assist. Believe us when we say, that whilst the $$ are vital, it is the level of support from so may, which will get all those who have been devastated, truly back on their feet. Help appreciated.

greg_r 84 Posted February 17, 2009 Just a heads-up for the UK folks. If you don't want to enter the raffle for any reason, but still want to donate, do so via the British Red Cross and make sure you select 'Gift Aid' during the donation process. This ensures that the Red Cross gets a 28% tax refund from the government for every pound you donate - more of your money therefore goes to the appeal. I organised a whip-round at work last week, and we donated this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted February 18, 2009 Big Bump. More prizes!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, I'l soon to be anounceing some more prizes! For starters WBK has come thru with a boxset for the DJ. That about doubles the value of that prize folks. There's also a Mont Blanc pen from the same great guy as well as another piece TBA. Thanks again Wacko Bird Keeper! Were on our way to two grand but with the combined membership of thirty or forty thousand we can do a hell of a lot better than that! Look at the prize list folks! GIVE! On a far less happy note the death toll is now over 200 and Kenburg informs me that a firefighter from Canberra has been killed by a falling tree while on deployment in Victoria. My condolences to his fellow firefighters and his family. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 84 Posted February 22, 2009 @Col - sorry to hear the sat is still down. BTW The site is clean. Symantec Internet Security (which is what I assume you're using) blocks all sorts of perfectly innocent stuff as suspicious - which is why I usually recommend people use something else - ANYTHING else... lol (a lot of Symantec/Norton products have a tendency to cause more problems than they solve).
