Asking A Favour From All You

[Guest]

You probably all remember that earlier this year my old mod friend Gillian died from cancer. We have organised a charity do in her memory in Leeds on February 2nd & we are hoping to raise as much money for Cancer Research as possible. I am sure this charity is dear to many peoples hearts & most of us have known someone that has been taken from us by this disease.

We are holding a raffle on the evening & we are looking for prizes, so if any of you would be kind enough to donate any it would be very much appreciated & you would get a HUGE KISS from me. I know what a kind hearted bunch you are.

Thanks

[Guest]

Of course I'll organise something (tell me nearer the time what you'd like) - and will also try to attend.

As a would be raffle prize, I will try to persuade Michael to allow himself to be auctioned for an hour of naked housework....

hi Kirsty

you could always raffle the georgeous george a d make sure i won it

[Ernie Andrews]

Hi Kirsty - Your details please.

If you want to do an auction - I am involved in organising charity events in the past(For meningitis UK) and would be willing to be the auctioneer( I am naturally a gobby person- but well intentioned)

Lost my dad 5 years ago to Cancer and my mom 2 months ago

Is it a soul doo you are organising?

Regards Steve

[Guest]

Thanks for all your replies, am amazed at the response so far.

Ernie, it is a soul/mod do that we are organising, Gillians family are going to attend too. We were just thinking of having a raffle with raffle prizes. Steve Lane & Hold Tight, thanks you soo, soo much, will send you my address & a huge kiss. Kirsty, thanks for the offer of half an hour of Michael doing housework naked, we'll have that as the star prize/booby prize, delete as appropiate

Ezzie, thanks a lot, I will hopefully be getting some raffle tickets in advance, so if anyone wants to buy them in advance that would be smashing. You are all a lovely bunch, I know that Gills family will be deeply touched

[Guest]

I tell you what, I am absolutely gobsmacked by the response, only put this request up this morning & I have been flooded with donations, it's is soooo good of you all, it warms my heart it really does.

When I have rounded up all the prizes up, I'll be listing them on here with a very big thank you from me & all of Gills friends & family.

[Soulfool]

Hi Kirsty,

would like to offer proceeds from Soul View magazine (issue #4) which will be out January 2008 (or thereabouts?), will give more details nearer the time and anyone purchasing by cheques/p.o.'s can make them out to the charity, let me know who to make payment to.

All the very best with that.

David Miller

[Guest]

Thanks David & thanks to everyone who has sent me a pm with their really kind donations, most of which have had a little story to tell. I've been deeply moved & not afraid to say have shed a tear or two this afternoon, it just makes all the bickering & moaning on here pail into insignificance (is that how you spell it). Keep them coming, at this rate, my wont need any dj's (not that we havent got loads offering to do it) as the whole night will be spent drawing the raffle If I forget to pm anyone back I apologise, thank you so, so much.

Love you all, well most of you

Hi Kirsty,

Please pm me your details, unfortunately we won't be able to get to the venue but we know how important raising money for the cancer charities as we run an annual event and in the four years we have been running it we have relied on the rare soul family to raise alot of well needed funds, to do a charity night in memory of Gillian makes it even more emotional and important, so we will be pleased to donate either prizes or money and we really hope it's a great night although sad and in the process successful.

Regards

Alan & Judi

For those of you that have asked, I have tried to put the link for cash donations. I aint right good at these things & have failed miserably, I can email it to people though. Otherwise it is on the cancer research webpage, the In Memory part, under Gillian Hawkshaw. A big thanks to Nick for sorting all this out as I wont have a clue where to start!

[Guest]

Karen I have sent you a pm, thanks. Also big thanks to Mike for offering to put a banner up on here.

I tell you what when I posted up this topic I thought I would possibly get one or two prizes, but I have been absolutely astounded by the response. I have actually lost count, but I think I have been offered about 20 prizes. Just got home today & there are 2 parcels to pick up from the post office, the first of my prizes, thanks to whoever that was

I have been offered some flipping great ones too, these include:

2 TICKETS TO EVERY SINGLE MIDDLETON NEXT YEAR

2 TICKETS FOR EVERY SINGLE EMPRESS BALLROOM NEXT YEAR

2 TICKETS FOR BRIDLINGTON WEEKENDER.

The full list will be going up as soon as I receive everything in & the big kisses will be dished out whenever I bump into you kind people. I am going to be selling raffle tickets when I am out & about from December if anyone wants to buy them from me, I know a few of you have asked, will be at CIS & Amwlch Niters, the prizes are pretty amazing.

So once again THANK YOU

Kirsty,

am going to ask Billy to donate one of his "BILLY" shirts - preferably the one with "DON'T IT MAKE YA FEEL FUNKY" on the back (don't think he needs it any more after the funk topic on All About The Soul!) Seriously, will arrange for something to be done at this end (Norfolk)

My namesake has kindly offered to sell some tickets for me too when she is out & about.

We both have completely different personalities, I remember her raising some money for charity at The Wilton once, she has ways of extracting money from people

Anyway, thanks a lot Kirsty, so the 2 Kirsty's will be at a venue near you very soon, flashing our raffle books
