sorry, but having 2000 stickers to send out to over 750 people is quite time consuming

50% of stickers have gone out by yesterday
we have prepared about 25% today ready to got out monday and the remainder will be sorted by wednesday hopefully


we never thought it would be this phenomonal

so i do apologise

and for the record, we went live with the donations on the 28th

Mark, with help from Paul (our webmaster) and myself, has worked non-stop since the campaign went live.

The response has far out reached our expectations. It's just going to take a bit of time so people will have to be patient.


I would suggest that the next time that something like this can be done that you organise it at you obviously think our efforts are not good enough!

I think we need to show a little more patience here chaps as its not getting the sticker thats important but the whole reason its being done in the first place, I am waiting for my sticker too but these guys are giving up their spare time for a charity and as stated earlier the response was far greater than expected.

Keep up the great work guys

Well said that man

The "Cause" is the main reason for the donations.
The RB5OC is relatively a small club and only really expected to make 50 or so stickers to their members. They kindly opened up to all us RB fans which has now increase the number required by thousands. Mark & Phil are doing a absolutely brill job IMHO

Not at all - and there is no need to have a wetty !

What you guys have done is brilliant - no doubt - However, if you advertise goods in exchange for money (albeit that the majority of money is going to charity), its not unreasonable to be kept up-to-date on progress.

I'm not having a go, I just was curious when I should expect the sticker.

Christ - lets hope you don't work in customer services ! LOL

Back to topic of Richard Burns and the family's nominated charity - whats the total money raised so far ? <please don't shout >

After paypal have taken their fee's (29p of every £2.50) there was just over £2700 by the time we took the paypal purchase off line on friday.

We have to take 21p for every 2nd class stamp, as the website said, £2 from every £2.50 has gone to charity, 783 postal addresses (some to New Zealand, USA, Holland, Estonia, France, Spain which cost over a £1 on some but we will cover this)

we've also had some cheques and cash,

and not to mention the fact that the stickers (£200's plus worth) donated

All I can say is roll on Wednesday when hopefully Mark will be up to date and only have a few stickers to do a day (I am so glad of self sticking stamps).

My Dinning room has never looked so full up with paper + stickers but all its all good cause.

And such a tribute to a great man.

Well done Mark Paul and Phill
