Default EVERYONE PLEASE READ.

moderators i appologise for putting this in here, and also for the ebay link, but if you read on i hope you will understand and leave this thread in here.

Over on the P1woc, we are trying to raise as much money as we can for a little girl named Ellie May. She caught meningitis and has had her arms and legs amputated. We have produced some calendars which i am auctioning off to help raise funds.

Please take a few minutes to read the advert and follow the link to the EllieMay info site.

Many thanks gents.

I too have a 16 month old daughter upstairs and this has really bowled me over.


I have bidded for this and share the sentiment that I will willingly donate to the relevant paypal account also.

Makes all the christmas rush seem somehow irrelevant.

My heart goes to the family and little girl.

Edit:
I have put a link to this on another car forum I am a member of (TSN).
I hope you don't mind .. hopefully it will help to raise a little more.

This really only came to our attention last week and there is a few fund raising ideas floating around on P1woc. we were lucky with this in that we had the calendars in the pipeline already. just required a bit of blagging to get some extra.

I reckon there will be other scoob related fund raising

Any ideas feel free to suggest, or dare i say organise

if you look on the Elliemay site, there are other things going on as well.

It would be good if you posted the paypal address then we could make payment by donation.

I'm not too fused about wining a calendar but wouldn't mind donating something

Hi I'm Ellie's Great Uncle, Mark has very kindly taken the calendars on and is doing a fantastic job. There is a Paypal link at the bottom of Ellie's forum:

http://www.ellie-may.co.nr/.

I will hopefully have a direct Paypal link tomorrow.

Angry Hmmm

Just a thought but why doesn't someone on here (possibly me if you think the idea has any merits) buy this calendar of p1scoob555 and then donate it to the elliemay charity so that there are a total of 7 available I know I would end up with nothing to show for it but little EllieMay would benefit immensly.

Only my twopence worth.

p.s. If you think this idea is a bad one let me know then I will bid on one of the 6.

when i have a bit of time, i will explain about this rogue calendar. we are doing our best to find him. he has now retracted his original add and started a second one. his location has mysteriously changed.
