scotty Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Good idea Wolverine, i would support it as i would the inititiaves by ShaunH.
pedal Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I have appealed for help on the Hub many times for donations of used clothing, cycling equipment etc for the 'development schools programme' that Midge and I run and have always been overwhelmed with the assistance we get. Every single item gets used and re-used and re-used...... really is rewarding from our side to see these happy faces. Even though I like the idea of a 'fund' it is just too open for abuse, and as other postings have implied, not everyone's cup of tea. All you hubbers rock, and even Jhb hubbers have contributed to our fund, and we are in the process of getting a frame and clothing to CT in the next week. Thanks WS x . Thanks also for the cash donation (you know who you are) xTo all involved with helping those in need. Thank you.pedal2008-06-24 13:09:30

Oiltrash Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Wolfie....... Didn't Samma and a whole group of hubber?s do a ride for a worthy cause last year? ....how? bout this..Couldn't all the hubber's in the different regions do something similar and then that region chooses the cause? We could have a jo'burg hubber ride then a CT hubber ride followed by Durb's and Bloem. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />This way we don't have a small group of people managing all the funds and getting fed up with criticism... believe me there will be criticism.
Evan Andreou Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 I think the responses over the last few days have been a clear indication that everyone is happier with ad hoc contributions to various initiatives as they arise. Was just a thought
Evan Andreou Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 The actual idea was to revive the calendar idea and use the proceeds of those sales for a worthy cause
widget Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I think the responses over the last few days have been a clear indication that everyone is happier with ad hoc contributions to various initiatives as they arise. Was just a thought Not everyone - but fair enough, as always the "majority" rules. Maybe next year.

TNT1 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Sorrry, again, I know I hijacked your thread, but thanks for giving the inspiration to get our beer fund off the ground.

Oiltrash Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Wolfie.. the calender is not a bad idea at all..... it's still possible as it's a one off, one cause, majority votes for the cause....not too complicated at all...
Evan Andreou Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 OT You should see the thread round the possible recipients, I even started a poll. No clear consensus I'm afraid Will keep trying though
