Asking A Favour From All You

[Guest]

A couple of people have asked me to put a piccie up on Gillian to see if it is who they are thinking of, so one attached.

Just had a meeting at mine with my friends I am running the do with & they are really deeply touched by the generosity of people on here. We should have some flyers printed in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks

Just been offered 2 tickets by Chris Waterman & Marcelle for the Wolverhampton Allnighter at the end of March.

Very much appreciated

[Guest]

Well I hope this has worked, here's the flyer. We would love as many people to come as possible, especially if they knew Gill, trying to raise as much money as possible for cancer research. It's not a soul do, it's not s mod do, will be playing a bit of everything, it will just be a fun night to remember a dear friend, who would have been having a suprise 40th a few months ago if she was still with us. I was quite gobsmacked this morning to hear that somebody phoned the number on the flyer to have a go about the fact that the night clashed with a mod do 30 miles away & called one of my friends an "idiot" for not changing the date. First off, I'd like to say that is wasnt the organisers of the said do. Secondly, I would like to say that I'm glad that they didnt have me at the end of the phone. If the said person is reading this, give this some thought. This is a ONE OFF memorial do, for a friend who died a the age of 39 from cancer. She was in our mod club in the 80's, the majority of us in the club are no longer mods. We wanted to do something special in her memory as she meant a great deal to us. The majority of people who will be attending, will be old mod/scooter friends, family & soulies, I cant see the attendance in Sheffield being affected in any way. Every penny we take on the door WILL go to Cancer Research. Our old club is spread out throughout the coutry, 2 members are in London, one is in Scotland, we all wanted to be together for this night & we wanted to make sure that Gills family were in attendance. If you could have done better at finding a date that everyone could make & didnt clash with any do, then you must be able to make miracles work!. There's a do in Scotland that I normally would have been at that night, has the promoter had a go, now he's sent me some tickets for the raffle for his next do. The guy you spoke to last night & called an idiot has actually worked tirelessy on Gills behalf, getting the venue for free, finding a printer that will print the flyers for free, working hard at finding old friends, supporting me with my raffle, ALL FOR A WORTHY CAUSE!

As for everyone else on here, who has shown us the most amazing support & genoristy, the old 24th hour give their kindest regards. Kxxx

Am sure it is a nice song, but when I was woken at 8 o'clock this morning with his dulcet geordie tones singing it, I didnt think so

Yes Rachel, it is girlie cds, there was a label but it was covered in sellotape & I couldnt make it out.

Kx

[Guest]

A big, big thank you to Soulgrit (Willie) for the cd's, I shed a tear at them, he had done them with Gills picture on them & even done me a set to remember her by, how thoughtful.

I finished off a raffle book last night, making the total raised in raffle tickets so far about £225.00, a big thanks once again to Kirsty for all her efforts, who has sold more than me & has only been out twice.

Kx

[Soulgrit]

Kirsty, a big thank you for your kind word's, It was a pleasure to do and so pleased that you liked the photo on them (I was'nt sure to put it on as I did'nt know your good friend Gills), she look's like a person who enjoyed a great night out.

Have a SUPER NIGHT.

Willie

Tell me about it, I know, not that I am complaining . I have decided to have a silent raffle, otherwise the deejays will lynch me & someone would have to miss their turning deejaying . Most of the people who have bought tickets wont be at the do, only going to announce it (inbetween records) if it is someone who is there. I dont suppose anyone has a tombola they could lend us?. Judging from the amount of tickets I have sold if would have to be a large one!

The do finishes at 2am, I have visions of still drawing it by then

[Guest]

Had a meeting last night with the other organisers, showed them the prizes (Steve Lane only just found your note, thanks ), the others couldnt believe how generous you have all been & were impressed with the prizes, they all said a huge thanks. I feel a little bit more relaxed now that I know all the raffle prizes are on their way, the dj rooster is sorted, I know who's doing the door when & I know how's in charge of selling raffle tickets on the night & when & who is going to draw it.

We have decided to have a moments celebration of Gills life through the night, something I saw at a do in Scotland once, instead of a moments silence, you appauld them, something I thought she would like.

I will be at Brighouse tonight if anyone wants any raffle tickets & the other Kirsty will be at Thorne tomorrow night, we've sold approx £275 worth of tickets so far.

Not a problem Kirsty - was actually Soul-Smugglers-Inc who provided the prize, although I have no doubt Martin, Toni and the guys at KSC wish you all the best on your endeavours. Pressure is on them now to come up trumps. Money in the post for tickets, Mark.

[Guest]

if you plan to see me for tickets... best do it REALLY early

if you just want to give me money, you can do that whenever!

I'm meeting up with Kirsty next week to hand over my ticket stubs and a big wad of cash....
