    Superb stuff!

    The auction will run until I've received the badge from Paul - I have no idea how long this will take as it's got to come from Cyprus!

    Paddy SP will let you know the duration of the auction Jerry.


    Brilliant bid Jerry, we have one of our own being posted to Afghanistan soon, another BBS member Darren (Warbiscuit) has just returned safely although slightly injured. We have sent BBS funded morale parcels many different units/battalions/corps and the many thankyou letters we have received testify to the importance of these auctions that well known members of this here AirgunBBS have made possible due to their seemingly endless generosity.

    Although to me the comment by a Royal Engineer pmed to me by one of his colleagues that these parcels were instant morale pleased me the most because thats the reason we do this in the first place as a boost to our fighting troops.

    Nice one Pad for the idea and the sew on badge .

    I thank you, Your Lordship - but the credit must go to you and Cliffy for all your hard work, as well as to Paul for donating this much-coveted badge in the first place!

    The badge has just arrived here in sunny Blighty from hot and even sunnier Cyprus, so you Good Sir, are the winner of this fine and prestigious item - I'm sure that many will covet it over the years!

    Many thanks for supporting this fine cause - your funds will pay for 20 morale-boosting gift boxes, for which I'm certain the troops concerned will be most grateful!

    Paddy, the winning bidder, Ron, has asked if the badge can be posted to him under "Signed For" conditions??

    I don't know if that's "Recorded Delivery" or "Special Delivery"??

    He has offered an extra £5 for this though, so can you accomodate this request?

    Do the usual terms apply? Once I confirm receipt of payment, you will post the badge?
