Big 'D'

I was thinking of doing perhaps a beer drive relay round various regions to do a collection what do you think? Cheers Iain

I am not 100% certain I would have thought not but I will ask. Glass bottles or plastic? Cheers Iain

I think its a great idea.

Well I dont need to worry about any of you catching me thats for sure

Whay about me , I may just go to the gym and ignore you all Cheers Iain

Great work SP. Cheers Iain

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

I am only kidding I am 17 stone and will spend more time in the tyre walls for pushing too hard to win, I will be up for a convoy though Ed. Cheers Iain

Oh that sounds great Well done SP Cheers Iain

You are all going down, I will win or die trying Damn my kart rage is worse than I thought, it has kicked in early. Cheers Iain

It is failry well looked after now though ED Cheers Iain

Any issues ED you just let me know and I will help you sort it Cheers Iain

I am starting this off by asking all or members to dig deep and make a donation be it a £1 coin or a slab of beer (they are pretty cheap this time of year) it will all be gratefully recieved. We will be planning and holding fundraising/beer collecting drives very soon and would like to do a handover to 216 SQN before Christams. Cheers Iain

Thats great news mate, I will pm you a list of info that needs to be on it. Cheers Iain

Hi guys Could you please have a look at this link and see if you can help in any way............Beer for the boys/Oxon post Perhaps you could make a donation of your own be it a £1 or a full crate of beer it will all be gratefully recieved If you have any other ideas that you think may help please dont hesitate to contact me to see if we can get it arranged. Cheers Iain

LOL I just had that idea too great minds eh Many thanks for your help on this. Cheers Iain

Oh goodie It may also be worth getting collection tins and posters together to hand out to members to take to work etc, this is not a charity it is simply a fund. Cheers Iain

That would be a great help thanks SP. I am suggesting that all of us donate a slab or something to get the collection started would that be ok with you guys? Cheers Iain

Would any of you guys like to donate a slab of beer to our 'Beer for the boys' effort to get us started, I could collect any donations of beer on the night (must be cans not bottles) May even ask the guys at the pub if they will support us too, do you think that they would allow a poster and a collection tin perhaps Cheers Iain

Hi guys I think that it would be a great start if we could all donate a slab of beer each perhaps at the next meet. Cheers Iain

Myles may be able to source a banner Cheers Iain

Please have a look at this link and see if you would like to get involved. Beer for the boys, Oxon post I would like to have done something for this by Christmas so if you can help in any way please let me know. Cheers Iain

Mate it may be worth going ahead with what you were going to do anyway the more helping the better. Cheers Iain

Hi guys I have just had a phonecall at work relating to this event, we have been given a green light to go and get what we can in the way of Beer or Funds. I will get onto contacting the local shops etc to get something drawn up. It may be worth contacting the local news and radio stations when we have a final plan drawn up too. We could do with getting the following done prior to the event if anyone can help out that would be great. Obviously the lower the cost these can be done the better. 1. Banner/s relating to 'Beer for the boys' with all required info on, for use on any display/stand we might have. 2. Flyers to hand out on location to invite shoppers to make donations of either beer or funds inc cheque details etc. 3. Car stickers/graphics with a heading relating to the event, eg SIDC Supporting, RAF Brize Norton, Beer for the boys 2009, or something like that (open to suggestions.) Cheers Iain

Ok here is my plan so far. Contact 216 Sqn at Brize and inform them of our intention to support the 'Beer for the boys' effort. Contact local Supermarkets/Stores to make donations which we can collect in convoy on a set day. Contact local Supermarkets to see if they will allow us to put a couple of cars on show outside the entrance with banners displaying the cause and flyers that we hand out to customers inviting them to make donations of a crate during their shop, obvoiusly the cars would have to be 100% manned at all times and barriered off to avoid damage etc but this can all be done. We could perhaps get some money tins together too so that people can donate small change instead of a crate if need be. I will keep you all posted on any progress. Cheers Iain
