XH558 50th Birthday Appeal (The Positive Thread)

[Wedgy]

One quick negative out of the way: As stated in other threads, I (nor IA) will be giving money directly to this appeal, BUT .....

I did a little work for the Appeal pages, I put the Birthday Appeal banner at the bottom of IA this morning and I also have a few bits I might sell on ebay and donate 100% of the bids to 558 (IF they meet a reserve price, otherwise Im keeping them )
Does anyone remember the code for ebay that makes VTTS receive a percentage of the profit? Ive searched TVOC forums to no avail

Anyone else doing something other than throwing cold hard cash at them?

You asked a question and I answered it from my point of view!

[Mayfly]

sorry but they've burnt me out over the years - leave it others now

[Dee]

I do and give what i can

[Mags]

My standing order continues.

Also have done three piccies for Xmas cards and have some other stuff to draw too although I'm not getting on very fast with it due to other committments

[Bubbles]

I flog people stuff and bore them to death on the Vulcan stand at various places round the country.

All my training courses commence with a shot of 558 lifting off from Brize; it always gives rise to the question 'is that Concorde?' which gives me all the excuse I need to launch into a description of the project & the need for funding

[Pujgnie]

I will do my bit where I can.

My monthly standing order stays put.. and I use the forum web shop pretty regularily. I will continue to EDonate when I can afford to. I have been busy dishing out the recent appeal posters and have been in contact with local newspaper and organisers of the 'Bournemouth Air Festival'.

So far - 12 appeal posters sited and on display and an article in Mondays local rag

(And yes - Bm'th Air Festival organiser IS aware of the latest appeal - and has fowarded it to all the sponsors of said show )

[Old Rigger]

Ditto, I will still continue my standing order, entry to the FFD, buy stuff from the shop and match any donations to them that I send to H4H, all that I do for my own personal reasons, I would never criticise/condem anyone who felt they cannot do it anymore and neither would I want to appear as if I am bragging that I am doing more/contributing more than others as I know I am not by a long chalk.

Ditto also when I am in a positon to, like Newark Show and Lincoln Market, I will also stand out front of the VTSC tent boring people with my war stories , mind you as said before somwhere, not sure that this is actually a help

[Pujgnie]

What happened with the Birthday Promo vid... It's been removed from U Tooob ?

bet you don't get many re-bookings!

[Dougs]

nope my pockets are empty but whish 558's engineers all the best, but im soooo fedup with the amount of well known missed oppatunities by da management

[Gully]

I'll keep representing the Club at various events - including the next 2 weekends at the Top Gear / MPH shows at Earls Court and the NEC - and working away with V-girl at preparing for the split of the Club into regions so we can provide more for members. Few other things going on which will become apparent when they're definites and ready for public consumption!

From my point of view, my FFD entries and S/O continue unchanged...

Email sent to Nick Mason... just to keep him in the loop

[Mackrick]

I will continue to do anything I can to support the engineers. Just spent 3 hours with them this evening and will be again Tuesday and wednesday.

Name dropper.

[Air]

I'll probably donate again, but after reading that 'other' funding thread, I'm wondering if I should bother.

Like many i give what i can, not a great deal i know, but i do what i can

That just hope they riase some money Rick, otherwise there will be no hindering... i mean helping the engineers for us.


PS I will hopefully see you over at Lyneham in the next few weeks as well Rick

I'm actually looking forward to being on the stand at the Lincoln Christmas market, which is strange for me, because I tend to avoid talking to large numbers of people.

But Jane was great with me last year by letting me stay behind the table and just take peoples money I'm not confident enough to stand out front.

I'm unable to give financially so it's a good way to help out, taking other peoples money

So please come along and laugh at our costumes support us

Is that positive enough?

[Xplumberlives]

because I tend to avoid talking to large numbers of people.

Helen, try talking to just a few large people instead!
