This is meant to be for you guys lol, but if you can help the more the merrier, it will kick off once I have had a few replies from various outlets about donations of beer etc so we can arrange a convoy collection etc and get others to donate on the way I will keep you all posted and thanks for all the interest and help so far. Cheers Iain
Big 'D' Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Bottles allowed Iain? I am not 100% certain I would have thought not but I will ask. Glass bottles or plastic? Cheers Iain
smiley kylie Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I am not 100% certain I would have thought not but I will ask. Glass bottles or plastic?Cheers Iain Glass - thought id better ask...
Big 'D' Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 I was thinking of doing perhaps a beer drive relay round various regions to do a collection what do you think? Cheers Iain
scooby princess Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 This has now really taken off at work! Someone in Smiths Head Office used to be in that Squadron!!!!! He sent a massive email drive through all the departments in Head Office and Today I recieved case of 24 boddingtons and someone else donated £5 and told me to buy some for her as she gets the bus so was able to buy 8 cans of carlsberg (i think) Others have asked when i need it by! check about plastic bottles iain as may know somewhere that might be able to donate a few crates!

We can take cash donations too SP, infact the money is just as important as the beer to keep this going, I would like to have handed over something by the 20th of Dec if possible but we will need to pull a finger out to get a sizable collection together by then I think. I have yet to get a reply from any of my email to shops etc so I fear it will require a personal visit to the stores. Cheers Iain
Vimmy Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Hi Iain, sorry for the lateness but I would like to help out where I can. I'm up for some sort of donation or beverage based offerings or both if it helps. Not being a big beer drinker what sort of 'beverages' would be considered good drinking material, I take it coke and pepsi are out of the question
Big 'D' Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 Hi all If any members/forum users in the Oxon region or surrounding regions would like to make any donations we could perhaps organise a 'beer run relay' to collect any donations and make a fairly big event of it. Let me know your thoughts, so far S.P. has had great input from the Swindon area, thanks guys keep it coming. If possible I would like to make note of all who have donated too, both to thank them and so that we dont ask people twice. Cheers Iain
scooby princess Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Donations from - Sonia little (data management) Jackie Mcmain (sp) (data management) and the whole of the HR dept at Smiths News Head Office, Swindon

Big 'D' Posted December 6, 2009 Author Posted December 6, 2009 Come on guys I was expecting a little more feedback on this one. Scooby Princess put the word out at her work and has already collected 30+ cans. Even a personal donation from each member would be a great help, so if you can help guys please dig deep and let me know. I am on the case for a collection day at a local supermarket inc a 2-3 car display + gazeebo, banners and flags etc, if you can help out with this would be a great help too. I will post info as I get it. Cheers Iain
scooby princess Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Will get hold of local footy club to see if they would donate a couple of crates of their plastic botteled booze plus see if we can get a permit for a collection in swindon - late night showing etc! plz advise by pm how you got the oxford one!

scooby princess Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 4 more cans from Steve Smith - Data Management - Smiths news also permission granted to put posters up on main entrance doors to office now - hopefully generate more interest. Marc alexander - smiths employee + ex 216 member would like to attend when we present - said he could come in our car but as smiths are pulling out the stiops feel its only fair.

scooby princess Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 wondered about a charity pub crawl as well! its used to raise cash for trips to wall great wall etc - gain permission from pubs we want to attend first in town and then set a date and crawl round the places with charity buckets - possibly need licence from council as well
