Geraldine has said that I may post the following -

On September 14th, my son, Matt Warren, will be abseiling from the roof of St Pancras Station. He is endeavoring to raise donations for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. His father served in the Royal Marines. It would please me no end if just a few of you lovely lot would care to support him. The website for donating online is -

Surprised to see [in the village shop] that a member of the House of Lords has sponsored Matt. Many thanks, kind sir! flowers

smile Ella and Nellie...I think that the aim of £10,000 might be a tad over-optimistic. However, whatever the final sum, I'm feel sure that it will be used in a good cause. smile

Well done to Matt, I'm sure the total will continue to rise sunshine
You must be very proud soop xx

So far Matt has raised just over £1000 in sponsorship. The village people are also contributing. Every little helps enormously. smile

soop it's a great cause and will be a great adventure - and I for one am very happy that people (including many, many Gransnetters) are so willing to generously give of their time, talents and hard earned cash to aid others.

Apart from you lovely lot, a few kind residents of our village will also be helping to raise donations. I'm truly blest. flowers

Have just read my emails. Yet another from Matt. It is to be passed on to you lot...
' Dear Gransnetters, THANK YOU. Iam truly grateful for your kind words and extremely generous donations. It really is hugely appreciated. You are WONDERFUL. Matt'

May I add that I also think you are the cream of the crop. So it's thank you from him...and it's a massive thank you from me. flag

Pour encourager les autres. Why not - it will make soop happy.

Anagram Thu 26-Jul-12 19:02:09

Is it mandatory to say that we've donated?
The thought never crossed my mind....confused
