Massey Boys Mum Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Those of you who have been following the Toytrac 2009 topics will know that the FTF raffle held at the event raised £70.00 for charity. Because the younger forum members were all so brilliant on the day we asked them each to pick their favourite charity. We have opened a poll for you all to vote in to see which is the most popular choice to donate the money to. In no particular order (sounds like the X Factor!) and after much careful thought - Cerin, Daisy, Toby, Thomas and Maisie chose the above. What a difficult decision, didn't they go for some good ones? STOP PRESS – There was an unclaimed FIRST prize of a Britains Ford 5000 Gun metal – the winning ticket was 311! Please check your raffle tickets and let us know if this was YOU! If it remains unclaimed Andy has agreed that it will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to our chosen charity.

jakescot Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 one of these days I`ll get to one of these shows, maybe even lakeland would only be a couple of hours drive for me..............we`ll see. The reason for my post........ In August following on from our local gala week I was approached by some of the local development initiative folks to see if I would supply their small kiosk with plants as they have lots of folks coming in asking for them, I agreed and have been doing so since then, the shop is due to shut for the winter shortly so that cuts off another source of income which with a house to do up has been very handy. For our wedding we asked could folks please not buy us any presents but if they desired, would they please give us a small donation for charity, we chose the british heart foundation and Marie Curie in memory of both our mum`s. We got donations for over £2900 quid. I`m rambling on here but I`d like to give you one of my week`s kiosk plant sales envelopes to add to your charity fund......the one I picked up last week just so happens had £30 in it so if someone would be so kind as to tell me where to send a cheque and who to make it out to, I`ll write one out for £30 and send it to them. thanks , john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy has the money so I think it should go to him. I will PM him for you and ask him to give you the details. Hopefully, we will get some more votes in the poll - oh, and feel free to follow John's generosity everyone! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boys Mum Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Voting will close on this poll on the evening of Sunday 1st November 2009 - so there's still time for the 2170 of you that have NOT voted to give it a go! Thanks again to those lovely members that have voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks to those who voted for their charity of choice. Thanks John, I have Pm'd you with the details. I am also going to add to the pot by auctioning off a set of the remaining Britains samples models on ebay so from tomorrow evening there will be a 7 day auction consisting of the Britains 5000 Gun Metal, Highway Tractor and Cultivator set. All proceeds will then go into the overall pot we attained from Toytrac and other recent donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All proceeds will then go into the overall pot we attained from Toytrac and other recent donations. That is very commendable, Andy. I am sure whichever charity receives the money will be well pleased. Let's hope the auction get a lot of bids to make it even more worthwhile!

Andy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The items are now listed. We will be donating to cancer research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Well we will soon be coming to the end of the Charity Auctions on eBay. The reponse has been great so far and thanks if anyone from FTF has kindly bid on any of the items. As you know, the totals will be added to the raffle money we collected at Toytrac. Although all candiates were extremely worthy, I think Cancer research is a particularly important cause. I am sure many of us have been effected in someway by this horrible word, whether it be involving family members, friends, or even yourselves. I personally have a particular fondness to this charity since several family members have had to endure this illness, and just last month, a close friend of mine (just 23) lost her battle with it. I have also read several topics on FTF over the years, right up until today involving forum member families that have suffered too and continue to be effected by it. Those who have donated to this fund should be proud of what they are contributing towards, and I offer a heartfelt personal thanks to you for aiding in FTF's donation.

Massey Boys Mum Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Thanks to Andy for getting this all going - he has chosen some good words. The charity total has tonight risen by over £180 - did the same bidder get both items? Heartfelt thanks for your generosity from us all.
