Lamper / Gatherer Fund ~ Donators; Please Read This

[Kay 3,709]

OK, here's my 2 pence worth ...........

 

 

Now, at present, I haven't donated to Lamper/Gatherer's fund, reason I haven't so far isn't because I'm tight, it's because I was waiting to see where it went, I had my finger on the button when I thought it was going to the lads family, and again when it was suggested to give a chunk to Lurcherbitch and her rescue, but it seems it's all still up in the air.

 

 

I don't understand how it can't be blindingly obvious where a proportion (if not all) of it needs to go, we're all to some extent "dog people" right? Lurcherbitch has come on here this morning and asked for help URGENTLY, what's the problem? See how much would keep her dogs fed (or rather the dogs that people have dumped) for a reasonable amount of time, and give it to her.

I would hope something could be sorted this weekend, and hope no one minds my big fat nose in the middle of all this, but to come on here "cap in hand" surely that means she needs help?!

 

If I'd seen her thread earlier then I'd have sent my donation straight to her today, as it is I'll send it Monday and hope that is soon enough.

 

It seems to me that this fund is in danger of becoming someones problem, when it shouldn't be hassle at all.

 

There's an easy end to this, I have no idea nor is it any of my business how much is in the fund, but I bet you it would make all the difference in the world to LB.

 

I agree

Ok. Your Attention, Please; EVERYONE:

 

I've just sat here with a pen and a scrap of paper. I've done what anyone else here is obviously more than welcome to do. I've trawled through the entirety of the above lot and have read every word - again. Only this time, as I've read, I've made marks in one of three columns: Cancer Charity. Lurcher Bitch's Rescue. Other.

 

I could scan and show ye all my bit of paper. But what's the point? The descion of this entire discussion is clear as day in front of me:

 

As near a complete and deadly accurate 50 / 50 split as one could imagine. Eight marks for a Cancer Charity. Eight marks for LB. Two for 'Other'.

 

Perhaps if Ian B, spare moment allowing, could now arrange the instantanious release of half the Grand Total to Lurcher Bitch, we can then just figure out which Cancer Charity would best be served by the other half of the fund?

 

It's all there, in black on white. Feel free to audit it yeselves. I've done all I can.

 

Thankyou.

Ian; That post has been up for seven hours. No one's disputed it, not here, not in PM, not in Chat. The figures are still all there for anyone to check.

 

LB is crying out for funds. Half those who voiced an opinion say she should recieve help from this fund. I'll break the silence of personal opinion on this now, for the first time: I feel L / G would be vigorously nodding his agreement with that desicion. Don't you?

 

I have LB holding in Chat as I write this. I'll go now and ask her how best ye can get 50% of the Fund monies to her.

 

Then the collective needs only sort out which Cancer Charity gets the other half

 

 

Incidently; Now ye've privately disclosed the total to me; I'm f*ckin choked, man! They Stood Up!

[Guest Lurcherbitch]

I am more than happy for my donation to be split as DS has suggested, At least I know that it will be going to a good cause...............

 

 

At the moment LB needs our help, and it will be nice if we can give it

 

 

Half of that wedge should really help in feeding those dogs LB is taking in

 

 

So it a thumbs up from me :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up:

Well done everyone who donated this money will make a huge difference

Need to finalise all this , 50% was sent to Lurcherbitch probs about 3 weeks ago, now we need to find which cancer charity the other half will go to, or maybe even towards deakos wife marie curie trek?

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Need to finalise all this.

 

 

Here, here! Absolutely, mate. I must say; I rather feel it's hanging over me and I want to see it sorted

 

I take it ye back on terra firma now then, Ian? Good. May I suggest we give it till Midnight - forums clock - on Sunday? That should give the Donators time to see this and pitch in with their Charity of Choice. (Cancer related, 'obviously').

 

I'll stay out of it till then as I, frankly, feel anything I say may tend to carry unnecassery and quite unrealistic weight ~ ye know what people are like ..... But, should we need a tie breaker by then, maybe I'll vote and see if I can sort it. I just don't want it dragging on any longer.

 

Mheanwhile, expect a PM from me some time soon. Another member and I am cooking something up we'd like to run past ye, before we get too carried away for nothing!

 

Don't worry; It's nothing 'complicated'!

[Kay 3,709]

I am happy for the rest to go to the Marie Curie treck

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Peak viewing time here. 100+ Members on site. Any more for any more? Donators; Fast running out of time to have ye say here. It shuts down at Midnight tonight.

[Guest ceredigion bull cross]

any cancer related charity sounds good to me

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

One Hour Forty Minutes to 'Vote'. I'm trying to keep this one visible.
