2 & 5

Thats fine and better than nothing, anything that helps with promoting the cause - :)

Its on my list to do tomorrow - We as a site are happy to pay for an advert though - Would hope they may give some lee-way on it though with it being for a good cause (maybe pay for one and one free etc) Will speak with Lee and hopefully Steve tomorrow.

It is pencilled in to start on Sunday 3rd January lasting for one week. Although obviously donations will be really appreciated up until the very start of the sale - The earlier we have them the better and all details in. Im sure we can between the site and friends get 50 lots (I hope) and get this little girl some much needed support.

Well done Mick Fantastic offer from the Memorial fund

Tut Tut!!!! Very true though ;D ;D

Joe told you all Vallance bringing the news to the pilgrims (Just coz bigda aint online too) ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D Onwards and upwards - Beckham's lasting gift and legacy to the Nation

Maybe the best for 80 Years although it can be debated as he has so far won as much as the others in this time period. If and its a big if, he ever wins Wimbledon then fair play to him but he hasnt done nothing yet so shouldnt get it. Looks as though the right man for this year got it. An individiual won it this year next year there will be a England squad full of world cup winning stars there to collect it (with the world cup out for a showing) ;D

It looks as though we have the start of a promising donation list for this sale. We are looking at a proposed date for the sale of Sunday 3rd January 2010 - Lasting for one week. If anyone wishes to donate if they could post on the thread or let Fifer, pigeonforce or myself know we will update the list.

If the members of the site wish to donate any birds etc then we are more than happy to run a sale for this very good cause.

Think it would be wrong for Button or Murray for that matter to win it. Last year i thought Becky Adlington but if i remember rightly Chris Hoy Got it (and very deservedly) Button was given the title due to Ross Brawn's intelligence at the start of the season - Once the Red bull's etc cottoned on he ended up fluking the title. Andy Murray - Cannot stomach the guy but if he were to actually win something then made he should win it - Until then no chance!!!!

Least we know Olly isnt being with Stayyyyyyccccc Solomon ;D
