This is copied from the Charity section as it doesn't seem to be getting very far in there.

Fella's, I'm after a bit of help.

We are planning a big charity auction down here in the Falklands and I am in desperate need of donations.

I have written to every football club, rugby club, rugby league club and various other people and organisations. To date I have received 7 pledges of donations for auction, but lots of negatives also.

What I need first and foremost is for those ARRSErs out there with connections to famous people to lend a hand by either contacting them, or providing me with contact details in order that I may formally approach them.

Obviously any donations would also be most welcome.

Please PM me with any assistance you may be able to offer.

What I plan to do is put a list of the items on here in order that people can submit a bid for anything they desperately want, that way if we have an auction lot which means nothing personally to someone serving here, there may be a huge fan in ARRSE land who will bid more.

Many thanks for your help.

It's in the NAAFI bar! try putting it in the Charities forum with the other charity requests, you may actually get some response.

Filbert,

thanks mate, if you read the very first line of the post thought you will see that I have copied this from the Charities forum where I first posted it, just to get more exposure as most people come in to the NAAFI bar.

Thanks again though mate, anything to keep bumping it up there :D

**whosthedaddy** · 17-01-2009, 02:07

Bump, well it is for charity!

I'll give you a tenner for the Falklands

**whosthedaddy** · 17-01-2009, 15:51

Not sure it's worth THAT much fella, besides I don't think I have the authority to sell the whole lot. Thanks for the bump anyway! :D

**whosthedaddy** · 18-01-2009, 19:25

524 hits and only one offer of assistance. C'mon guys, we can surely do better than this?

BUMP!

What FI type stuff are you auctioning? I was there in 1990 and came back with bugger all to remember it by except the usual 'Danger Mines' sign complete with the 'This man didnt steal this sign' certificate from Q-Mines.
