ally-b Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 Mods . Could this thread be 'pinned' to top please ? Cheers
andy Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 There should be some funding available from those who signed up to be "Scottish Scoobies Supporters" - The whole point of making that membership status available was so any monies raised could be totally directed back into the various Scottish regions to support their charity efforts. Need to speak to Phil though as I have no control over that side of things.
Carson Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 robbed out of best dressed car! lucky its for a good cause or id not come this time

I always wondered how they got the emblem on the avatar......... Fraser
ally-b Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 Reminder to everyone - only 2 weeks until the donation sheets have to be in !!! Anyone requiring a donation sheet to pass around their friends , family and workmates please PM Robert (STI Pretender) and he will email one to you. Al.
andy Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 How do you sign up to be a "Scottish Scooby Supporter"? Oops - my bad for not keeping an eye on topics I reply to. If you go to your membership control panel providing you are an SIDC Member you will see the ability to upgrade to Scottish Scooby Supporter. The upgrade is only available to SIDC Members, but proceeds from Scottish Scooby Supporter status, as stated, get put back into the charity events in Scotland.
ally-b Posted November 27, 2008 Author Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Reminder to everyone - only 1 week left until the donation sheets have to be in !!! Anyone who's still requiring a donation sheet to pass around their friends , family and workmates please PM Robert (STI Pretender) and he will email one to you. Al. Edited November 27, 2008 by ally-b
sti pretender Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 As Ally said forms available from me, hoping that lots of Glasgow/Strathclyde members will raise money. We know lots of money was raised for the Mcrae Gathering, these's a recession and it's coming up to Christmas but every little helps. It real is a worthwhile cause which I found out last year when I was fortunate enough to visit one of the wards dressed as the big fellow in the red suit. The joy and happiness that you bring just by giving a gift and having a wee chat is amazing. Anyone unable to make it to the next meeting or meal at Peter's, PM Ally or me and we will sort out collecting any donation money. Thanks Robert Next mod a reindeer with a red-nose.
ally-b Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 Last few days to get your donation sheets filled before they have to be handed-in at Glasgow meet on Thursday 4th Anyone with monies to hand-in but unable to attend meet - please PM and we will arrange something. Al.
