*** Rm Erskine Rec Fund – Now Accepting Donations & Members!

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

I've also received a copy of an internal letter from Erskine...

which was nice.

I'm definitely getting saft - that made me 'emotional' great work GB - superb leadership!

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

I had to tot up the figures for someone yesterday, and it turns out that together we've spent just under £10,000 on Erskine in the last two years.

- and that's excluding all the memorabilia we've collected, and excluding the donations from other groups, such as Specialized Security (Falkirk Wheel trip) and Rangers FC (2 free season tickets, and a few wheelchair tickets)

Just A1 !

You need to come up with a name akin to 'cockwombles' or 'kingalings' to call your supporters.

I might have to get one of them - do they come in wide and short?

Anyway, back to business...

Next Up:

• Loch Katrine Boat Trip for 12 people (Tuesday 07/15) - £96
• 5 Rangers Match Programme Annual Subscriptions (estimate: £250)
• 5 Rangers TV Annual Subscriptions (estimate: £250)
• 12 match tickets for Rangers v St Mirren (estimate: £175)
• (Argyle Hospitality for Rangers v St Mirren ?? (estimate: £360 for 4 people))

That all needs to be organised before the start of the season, which will keep me busy, and that will then leave us nearly skint.

But luckily it will then be time to launch the 2015/2016 Season Membership Fundraiser, which should hopefully put us back in credit.

It’s great to think that all of the above, plus everything else we’ve done over the last 6 or 7 weeks (see list below) has all been done using last season’s donations, and we’ve still got some change before we start this year's.

What we’ve done in the last month:

• Delivered 84 Whisky Miniatures (for D-Day Ration Packs) and 16 bottles of spirits (much of it lovely posh stuff!) - approx retail cost: £750
• Provided 74 Match Tickets for Erskine & Combat Stress for all 3 Home Play-off games – approx cost £370
• Provided 12 RDF Fundraising Night Tickets - £180
• Beer Money and Raffle ticket money for the Veterans at the Fundraising Night - £240
• Raffle Tickets for RDF Fundraising Night (Sponsors’ Fund) - £100
• Argyle Suite Matchday Hospitality for Dinger & Friends (8 people) – List price £850, but thanks to 2 massive donations from Specialized Security and Dunny_01, we paid only £400.
• Argyle Suite Beer money - £80
• Kilted Skirlie Restaurant (Loch Lomond) – Lunch and drinks for 12 people - £173
• Loch Katrine Boat Trip (Steamship Sir Walter Scott) for 12 people - £96 – Thanks to Sir Walter (Scott, not Smith) for a very generous (over 50%) Discount on the ticket price.
• 100 RDF Summer Raffle Tickets - £100

• Renewed 2 Season Tickets - £612
• Blagged 2 additional Free Season tickets! (value: £612)

I've just added all that up and it comes to £5,294. (including the value of the two free season tickets)

Not a bad month, overall.

.... Now that's what we need to do - rename the RM sponsors fund to TEAM GB and we have a whole set of merchandise from 2012 we could utilise! Good thinking GB

[G13 3,038]

I'll sponsor the Rangers tv for Anniesland again, drop me a pm and I'll sort it out later on today. On a side note. Can you get me some of the Erskine graphics for the rear windscreen on the motor?

[ianb1547 3,767]

gb...I got some bloke on the phone from Greece asking if you are busy for the next couple of weeks !!!!

absolutely superb.

Am I busy?

What do you think?

[govanblue 16,847]

So we've now begun the transition from Season 14/15 to Season 15/16

I've got lots of various steps to do,

Step one - All Fund memberships have now expired, and Season 15/16 Membership will commence soon.

Step Two

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Sponsors' Fund and/or the Erskine Lunch Fund in season 2014/15.

In total, there were 201 members who donated throughout the season to the two funds.

Some of those members have have since been banned, left the site, changed their username, etc etc, but that doesn't affect their place in our Hall of Fame.

All members who donated last season, please check the list below, and make sure that your name's on it, and that I've got your username right. My merging of the two lists was a bit slapdash, and I might have made some ommisions. So please double check that you're on the list.

We've now booked the Loch Katrine Boat Trip for 12 people for Tuesday 7th July.

Many thanks to The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Limited who have given us an excellent discount!

Instead of £12.50 per person, it will only be £8 per person.

So that'll be £96.

Erskine have just got back to me and have had a change of mind...

They've thought about what I said, and they now agree that a wee dram (or tipple of choice) would indeed help the Veterans enjoy the cruise that little bit more.

So I've told them to go ahead and buy everyone a drink, and we'll square them up later.

Should be no more than £50.

[govanblue 16,847]

Post Auction Update:

(yes this is the wrong thread, but I don't want to bump a very old thread)

So yeah, you remember that Shirt Auction?

Well,

• Money received for Faure Shirt - £80
• Money received for McCulloch Shirt - £60
• Donation received for forthcoming Erskine Fundraiser - £20

I'll get the 2 shirts delivered shortly.

[govanblue 16,847]

[govanblue 16,847]

Soft launch:

We are now accepting donations from RM Members to raise money for Match Tickets and other Recreation Activities for Erskine Veterans Care Home Residents.

This donation constitutes your season 2015/16 Membership. Then I won't bother you until November.

Donation line is now open.

http://www.rangersmedia.co.uk/forum/donate.html

If you already know the score, just get on with it.

Membership fee Season 2015/2016: A one off donation of £5 or more

If money is in short supply, that's all we need from you.

If even £5 is too much, not a problem - PM me for a full concession - there are other ways to help apart from money!

If you earn enough to donate more than £5, then please feel free to donate as you see fit.

Please remember to PM me as soon as you've donated.

Please also remember to add your RM username in the paypal special instructions bit - it will make it much easier for Admin.

Unambitious Target: 100 members or £1000 - whichever comes first.

Onwards and Upwards

[govanblue 16,847]

[govanblue 16,847]

Oh, and once you've donated, maybe think about harassing any fellow RM Posters you know who haven't yet bought in to sign up too.

[govanblue 16,847]

Welcome to member number 4 - broxieman.

[AlBear. 8,499]

If the rumours are true I'll be owing you £50, so I'll add on a bit to retain my membership.

Likely be the end of the month (29th), as this months wages going towards the ST.
