    One of our members on here is going to be deployed in Afghanistan in August.

    I have had a PM from someone on here who will give us details nearer the time.

    Gary and I have been relentless in raising money to send "Morale Boosting Parcels" to our troops for over three years.

    We have sent OVER 1100 parcels since we started.

    So.

    Cut to the chase...

    PLEASE either donate cash to our cause OR auction an item to raise funds.

    Our troops are not a charity case and we do not treat them as such, we just want them to know that the British Public CARE about them.

    Many MANY thanks to those who have helped continuosly in the past, please, if you can, continue your support.

    Thank you.

    Cliff.
    Sir Clifford,

    As per my post, to right said thread, goodies being sorted.

    Do not burn my village tonight Sir, for I am on a promise

    Bump for sir clifford and lord gary
    With over twenty thousand members on the bbs, even if a fraction donated a few bob or a pound then would equate to alot , enough to keep the supply chain going for our lads and lasses serving overseas.
    If i was thousands of miles from home in a warzone it would be reassuring to know that complete strangers appreciate my efforts and dedication.
    So look under the sofa, behind the cushions and anywhere else there might be some loose change and sent it in knowing that such a small gesture will make somebodys day
    dig deep people.
    Don’t you find it Funny that after Monday(M) and Tuesday(T), the rest of the week says WTF?

    Good man - don't forget though that items that can be auctioned on here would be very welcome too!

    It's also worth saying that there are undoubtedly BBS members who don't have the time to take on running an auction thread, but have one or more things they'd be happy to donate to this fantastic cause...

    ...There will also be others who don't have money or things to sell off, but who could find a bit of time to help out.

    So - if you fall into either of the above categories, please make yourself known to Sir Clifford, Lord Gary, or myself - and we'll make it happen!

    Many thanks for your kind offer - if you have anything (preferably military-related), that you might like to donate then please let me know. I'm going to run the Army 100 badge auction myself (as donated by Paul), but would be grateful for volunteers to take on any others that may come along!
