Colin Bowler Cancer Sales Fund.

[Guest mick bowler]

Firstly i apologise for the delay in this update. I had hoped to of done it the beginning of June, but things never quite worked out. We are at last getiing all the monies out to those that need it. I never thought trying to hand out money could be so complicated! I wont go into too much detail, but some charities can make it very hard for you to present monies, while others will bend backwards for you. We have changed a few of the beneficiaries due to these reasons, but none the less all the monies will still go to deserving cancer causes.

 

Heres just a brief of what was raised and is being donated etc:

 

INCOME

 

FIRST SALE ( 18 BIRDS WWW.PIGEON-CHAT.COM)2,020.00

SECOND SALE (4 BIRDS WWW.PIGEONBASICS.COM)175.00

SALE OF 2009 BIRDS DONATED BY J.BINGHAM.35.00

SALE OF T3 CLOCK PRESENTED BY J.RAMSEY 110.00

SALE OF 2009 YOUNGBIRD DONATED BY STEVE FOSTER 225.00

SALE OF 3 x 2010 YB 27/1/2010 (WWW.PIGEONBASICS.COM)180.00

MAIN SALE ONE (WWW.PIGEONBASICS.COM)2,525.00

MAIN SALE TWO (WWW.PIGEONBASICS.COM)3,470.00

DONATIONS.270.00

 

TOTAL INCOME 9,010.00

 

OUTGOINGS

EXPENSES (ADVERTS, FEE'S ETC)253.85

TOTAL DONATIONS TO DATE 5,962.00

OUTSTANDING MONIES 150.00

REFUNDS ON PURCHASES 100.00

PENDING REFUNDS 370.00

 

TOTAL OUTGOINGS 6835.85

 

BALANCE REMAINING 2174.15.

 

As you can see we still have a few pounds to give away, but most now is allocated. I will put a full list of all beneficiaries when we have sent all donations out. I'm hoping we can also allocate the "pending refund" of £370, its a bit of a complicated issue and sometimes i think people forget what we are trying to do. We also had to give 2 refunds on birds that were not supplied, we did have 3 but the third told us to keep the monies, even though he never received his lot, a great offer.

 

I will post a further update when all monies have been sent out.

 

The following link has been earmarked as receiving a donation, http://www.mayocancer.ie/, it is a charity that i am hopefully going to be more involved in. It came about through a neighbour of mine who had non-hodgkins lymphoma 12 years ago. He came through a very difficult time as you can imagine, and was before Rockrose House was around, so when he was asked wether he wanted to help a couple of years later, he jumped at the chance. His experience is his main tools in helping others, he is at the end of a phone 24 hours a day 7 days a week. He receives many calls a week, from those that cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. He gives them the reassurance that there is always a chance, and not to fear the worse.

 

If anyone would like to make a donation, you can via the site of PM me and i can arrange it for you.

 

I would just like to conclude by saying once again, thankyou to all who were and still are involved.
