I'd be willing to accept payments via Paypal if we decided to go for this. I'm sure that I can be trusted to look after the money having ran The Fishy Buster for a number of years. Edit... Having said that I've just had a quick look on Ebay and bidding is currently at £700 so not sure if we'd be able to raise enough to top that! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mic.....SwYXVcYXIP:rk:1:pf:0

That quote made me doubt you for a second there, Les! Another idea I’ve thought of is if everyone stated how much their pledge would be by PM or something and then approach the club with a silent bid of a total. It may be gazzumped by the actual auction I suppose but theres been a number of people declare interest and with a bit of help with twitter and facebook we could better the current bid.

I think best idea is to put bid via EBay, as don’t think the club will remove from eBay as it may affect them with people wondering if they’ll do the same and take other items down in the future. Might be wise to say all money raised will go to Fisherman’s mission in any case win or lose, seen as that’s the reason he’s donated his award in the first place. Happy to help spread the word via Facebook twitter etc

How about we all send PMs to Les with an amount and it will give him a starting value? I have sent mine to him.

Cheers Rob. We'll see how much we can raise but I will be surprised if we manage to top the £700 it currently stands at.

Problem is pledges and actual donations maybe two completely different numbers. Also if we did this we’d probably get more by putting on Facebook twitter etc and not everyone’s on the fishy unfortunately. Maybe we can say we are collecting for fisherman’s mission and winning the auction is a bonus?

A suggestion.
Why don't we start contributing to Les via paypal as he suggests. Then we will add whatever we raise to the auction proceeds and the entire amount is then given to the Mission?
That way the Mission will get both amounts instead of just one if we won the auction?

I imagine actual donations will exceed pledges. What happens is if it gets close to the asking amount is we can make a bid for it and then recoup the money afterwards. I am happy to make up some of the shorttfall if we're confident we can reach the target sum through a wider appeal.

The above makes sense. Don't forget you have to win the bid so no point bidding on it without having sufficient funds in the first instance. Why not set up a crowd funding page on Facebook? We've done it at Auchinleck Talbot to help with finding the necessary finance for floodlights, and we've raised just under £4 k in a month. We'd actually got £2k in the first two days - they tend to slow down after the initial burst. But make it dual edged so if sufficient funds aren't raised to win the plaque the money goes to the FM regardless. https://www.justgiving.com/cro.....wFZFWpPP97onRF6HeZQc
