Appeal - Chesterfield Canal

[Peter-Bullfinch]

Made a donation via my phone but wanted to gift aid but didn't spot the correct button to press. Well done all you.

[cheshire~rose]

I can now confirm that thanks to the combined efforts of the breakfast contributors at Odana & Black Beauty's wedding recently there are a further 2 bricks in the wall!

 

Thank you to everyone who asked me to throw their "refund" into the pot you are all amazing!

[cheshire~rose]

why not come an cruise the chesterfield on the john varley trip boat too.

 

every sunday , hourly trips starting at 12.

 

and you can buy bricks too

 

Hey Mike - I did not spot your post - that's what happens when you are at the bottom of a page - yes it's true anyone can head on over and book themselves a trip along our beautiful canal and enjoy themselves and it all helps!

 

Two bricks purchased by Team Iona.

 

Just realized I didn't do Gift Aid though

 

Is there any way of doing it retrospectively?

 

Hi Ange,

 

In your case there is a way to remedy this! We will be seeing you this weekend and there is a gift aid form on the leaflets we hand out so remind me to get you to fill one in and it can be applied retrospectively.

 

For anyone else - I am getting someone to send me an electronic copy of the form so if you want one then send me a PM with your email address and I can send it over to you.

 

Gift aid does make a huge difference to The Trust as it amounts to an additional 25% of what you are donating.

 

There is just another £175 to go to reach the half way point for the appeal. Can anyone please spare a donation today so we clear that half way hurdle?

Oooh Mike! - you do realise that means that all the members of the Mike31 Fan Club will be falling over themselves to book boat trips? I hope there are some places left for the general public but they will have to get in fast!

 

Trip boat John Varley is doing trip from Tapton Lock this Sunday and Our tripboat, Seth Ellis, will be doing trips this Sat, Sun, Mon from The Chequers Inn at Ranby. Ring 07925 851569 for bookings

 

I am hoping they update the thermometer on the website soon as I know generous forum members of the type that have ticked the "no publicity" box have been making further very generous donations

 

Thanks guys you are all amazing!

What David does not realise if that most of the usual suspects on here would be far too afraid of me not to comply

[cheshire~rose]

[Tuscan]

Steven,

 

I'm going to be down at Hollingwood tomorrow morning - I have a new phone extension to install on the Hollingwood PBX, so if you want to catch up with me down there, do so by all means. If you want to give me a call in the morning, my mobile number is 07973530987 (although there's limited coverage actually at Hollingwood). I'll willingly wander down to the Basin with you and show you around.

[steven wilkinson]

Ah. It won't be until after lunch. Thanks for the offer though.
