Marcos it would be great if you could get the donation site sorted ? I was thinking Paypal as it looks as though it's free and can be done quite quickly and a link posted on here,and elsewhere to do the donations?
Hi Eric, I think you have misunderstood. I didn't offer to get the donation site sorted, I am shocking at that sort of thing. I was saying I have PayPal and card terminal availability at work if absolutely necessary (although I would imagine Just Giving etc process payments for you??). I also said, if there was disagreement about a wreath and donations, why not do both and I would happily contribute the wreath to avoid missing out on it because I think it is such a good idea
Don't you just sign up on JustGiving and supply a link for anyone interested? I'm happy to look into it but can't until tomorrow, I just thought it would be better if a moderator of the board did or someone closer or even better still, whoever is going to place the order for the wreath. The excess could then be withdrawn at the same time and a straight donation made to the MS Society just giving page.
Good man Ristac the gig is yours! Pags I presume you are still reading this, can you advise us (ristac) of the nominated charity when the funeral arrangements are out. Thanks.
Had a quick look, first thing is a "realistic" target, what do we all think? Wreaths for things like "Mum" or "Dad" are around £80 so I'm guessing it is per letter and a wreath saying Not606 will be near the £150 or am I way off? Then on top a figure for charity, it doesn't matter if we go over or don't hit it, just a realistic target and confirmation that excess is going to MS Charity...
If the family say family flowers only I will find a way to donate to the charity they suggest and wont chipin for an unwanted wreath.. In terms of design all leeds florists can supply any number of off the peg lufc related wreaths and could replace lufc with 606... Chill your beans.. Funeral will be at least a week away unless he was jewish..in which case you are too late already
Don’t think an off the peg wreath would mean anyrhing. My thoughts were to include the name Boggers on it as that means something to all of us. 606 logo as well maybe
