gingerbeer Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 As members will be aware QCG is seeking to raise funds for a LEGEND of the hobby, who is in need of a little support. If you can give a donation please go straight here and do so: http://www.qldaf.com/forums/qldaf-events-calendar-announcements-38/bill-smith-fundraiser-125435/#post834662 QLDAF supports this 100% and will be running an auction in support of this fund raising. We will open the auction for upload of lots from Saturday 31 October. The auction will be open for bidding From 8.00 pm Friday 6th November and bidding close at 8.00 pm Saturday the 7th of November. This date is chosen to coincide with the QCG meeting.... just for fun. We ask that when a lot is raised the seller state the percentage of the sale to be given to the fund raising. We suggest that at least 10% of the sell price go to Bill via the QCG fundraiser. If you wish to give more please do. Thanks to Dave [MENTION=1378]Fish[/MENTION]_Junkie for raising this issue here, and Steve [MENTION=4423]steveandjules[/MENTION] for pushing for an online auction. Hopefully we as a group of hobbyists can give something back to a man who has given so much to the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereFishieFishie Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Oh ****, I have been living under a rock & read the other link. Have passed on details to a couple of fish minded friends, who had a lot of time for Bill. (they aren't on here) Hopefully, a couple of more donations.

Stoney Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) [MENTION=231]gingerbeer[/MENTION] you mentioned previously about noting how much % of the sale will go to the fund, any chance of adding that to the template? It need only be a short line e.g % to fund We ask that when a lot is raised the seller state the percentage of the sale to be given to the fund raising. We suggest that at least 10% of the sell price go to Bill via the QCG fundraiser. If you wish to give more please do. Also without appearing completely dumb, how do I upload? I have clicked on the link in the previous post but there is no 'upload' link or 'reply' or am I completely missing the point Cheers Edited October 30, 2015 by Stoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbunamad Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) @gingerbeerfingersinallpies Should there be a sticky included in the thread with bank account details for the proceeds? Or use this link? http://www.qldaf.com/forums/qldaf-events-calendar-announcements-38/bill-smith-fundraiser-125435/ Edited October 30, 2015 by mbunamad added linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
