RaiderBoy 19 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi lads, Good news. I’ve just go off the phone with Mr Cliff Ennis one of the co founders along with Mr Gary Rayson of the Treats4BritishTroops charity. They are a charity that sends quality gifts and moral boosting parcels to make British troops life’s better while fighting out in Iraq (before) and now Afghanistan. These parcels contain good, expensive and useful gifts that cannot be bought when out on operations. This week alone they have just sent out 40 parcels to Afghanistan. They have been up and running since 2005 and have sent over 4.5 000 parcels out the war torn British troops making their lives better. He is over whelmed and as gladly accepted our efforts and would love to be our sponsor and be advertised and donated to. So lads we are on again. Ill get a banner added to the DVD and their photos soonest and then get another advert up and running on YouTube. Me being a serving member of the armed forces thinks this is a real good cause and those lads out there in the sand pit deserve our support, so many of them have give up their lives for this country and it would be nice to give something back to them. What you all think? Si Great stuff, our lads need all the help they can get and a moral boosting package is about the best we can do for them. Richard Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 What about donating the money to keeping the Vulcan flying? Beautiful bird that! If not Help for Heroes gets my vote too! Quote Link to post

mikeyblue 28 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi All, The h4h and the Treats For Troops are both fantastic courses. As a young Sapper on Op Telic (Iraq), I received a welfare package from a similar organisation to Treat For Troops. It contained things such as Haribo, Pot Noodles, Tabasco Source, and the best of all a copy of Razzle Let me tell you it was very welcomed! Both are a very worthy charity and Si, you should be applauded in all of your effort. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. I am planning to get out with the scope cam so can get some footage accross to you. Kind REgards, Mikey. Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,735 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 H4H gets my vote to. dont let it get you down si iv said it before and ill say it again RESPECT some thing you,v got from all the lads on here mate Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Just one thing Si, won't it be a conflict of interest if the next time you are out in the sand pit you receive one of their parcels? Especially if it has better stuff in that any others that are received at the same time... There may be trouble ahead :whistling: :whistling: Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Sorry, Mike, but under the circumstances that was a daft reply.... John5 has put up a post about Si's thread on the general talk section on THL, so it may be a good idea if some other folks reply to that to help spread the word. Cheers.... Quote Link to post

I'll second that Mikey, I was fighting in the Op Telic war Telic (1) and the packages i recieved after the war fighting phase were just amazing. They made all the difference and Im defo going with Treats4BritishTroops with maybe a small donation to H4H. Get your scope out then mate and send me some quality footage, it would be great. Si.

zini 1,939 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Just had a nice email today as well from a chicken farmer in the Derby area who is willing to give us the freedom to shoot alot of rats on his farm. So Phils Custom Ultra is going to get a right testing Davy you are going to have to pop up with Andy and we can get down to some serious ratting. You both can stop at mine.

zini 1,939 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Hi lads, Here is a banner that I have made for Cliff at Treats4BritishTroops to help with the advertising of the new DVD. Ive just sent it him for approval. If it likes it then it is going to be the starting banner to take the place of the Cancer charity banner. The photo is me in the Iraq war (OP Telic 1)and the gun in the corner is one of my Regiments guns AS90s firing the then L20 bomblet projectile better known to the Iraqi Republican Guard and Black Rain. The flashes across the screen is the base bleed giving the profectile extended range out to 34 KM The origianl photo I have designed is set at 3000 size so really good quality, this copy is only 1000 to fit on the forum.
