TERRIFIC!!!!!!! Ive already got 800 hooks, eddystone eels, 3 sets of digital scales, 15 sets of Mackrell feathers, 2 rig wallets, 1 pair of binoclars, 1 mobile phone, 50 breakaway weights(when Ive made them) some wine and some beer. ITS COSTING A BLOODY FORTUNE!!!! (yes I have bought all these items)

DONATIONS REQUIRED!!!!!! COME ON CHAPS

Bump

That's it lads, the auction for Eddie's gear is over.

Winning bid came from Tomcat for £70........... cheers George!
On top of that, we are pledged donations of £10 from Birdy, £20 from Jonty and £20 from Keith (Rabbi2).
In total that's £120 which is an excellent start to our donation to Fleetwood RNLI.

We have £37.10 in our box from last year so that makes it £157.10 and I'm topping it up to
£200.00

I've no doubt our day in June is going to top that up to make a really worthwhile donation to a great cause, and Eddie would be truly chuffed it's being made in his name.

Just a question I'd put amongst you for debate:
Do you want to make a "general" contribution to the RNLI, or should we find out if there is something specific the Fleetwood Station needs and buy it to donate to them?
Your views welcomed..............

Thanks all..
Steve

Definatly, the latter. Any funding given as a general donation is swallowed into national coffers and distributed at their discression. Liase with the local RNLI and discuss with them what they would like us to buy for them. Any funds given directly will be absorbed nationaly whereas a gift itself is located at the station presented with it. There's always somthing they need or would like to replace.

Will ask them if anything specific needed

Fantatic start!!!! Sicerely well done to all concerned so far. Im assuming it wont be too much to say by the day itself we should at least double that ammount. GREAT START LADS!!!!!! PROUD OF YOU SO FAR

brilliant keep up the good work lads id like them to get something they need for the station it will be more personal to the guys and eddie

Perhaps, depending what the guys want, the gifted item could bear some form of personalisation in memory of Eddie.

Hi Steve, Steve can put me down for a tenner pal sorry about late response

Cheers Clive ..... £210

Spoke to the ex coxswain earlier in the week got a contact number speaking to station on Tuesday.it is possible to make funds station specific as long as a covering letter accompanies donation so I will organise that.

Just a quick addon

Birdy and myself popped in to Bispham Anglers (top of Redbank rd next to the chippy) just to have a look around
and Jordan the guy who runs it said he will also put some bits and pieces together for the raffle as well

Nice one Tink!
