Yep lets do that. Who will be collecting all the money and donating it in the name of JW?

I can do that if people are happy to trust me, I will of course post up screen grabs to prove that I paid the money over, please can someone find out if the charity take visa, cheque and paypal etc, it would be easier to post the proof up if it were visa or paypal.

I will make a list of everyone that has donated in the name of JW here (which can have its own thread if there is enough demand for it) :

Anyone wanting to make a donation to the Hammond chosen charity in the name of JW (but your name will be included on the get well card) can send their donations to the usual address [email protected] - PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MENTION THAT THE DONATION IS FOR THE HAMMOND CHARITY AND ALSO INCLUDE YOUR JW USER ID.

I can also accept payments in the post/bank transfer and moneybookers but you will need to PM me for the details.

p.s it looks like the donors have the amount and name shown, which is enough proof for me. 8)

Thats a great link for these reasons :

1. "if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you." which I am so thats another good point.

2. You can pay by Visa.

3. You can post a message with your name that shows the amount you have donated only when you have actually paid, and we can still get some free advertising in for the site with a bit of luck.

Once the money hits the donations pay pal account I will update the list.

Jabba 09-24-2006 02:55 PM

Damn, seems we don't think as much of Richard as we thought.

This is sad and pathetic so far.

Thanks to the 3 generous souls that have donated so far.

PATo355 09-24-2006 03:02 PM

fsandys 09-24-2006 05:59 PM

Why has my amount altered? :? :shock:


[Edit] it's because you've taken the PayPal fee into account?

Jabba 09-24-2006 05:59 PM

Damn pay pal fees :(

fsandys 09-24-2006 06:00 PM

Lol, that was a quick response!! :lol:

Jabba 09-24-2006 06:34 PM

Minacious 09-24-2006 07:17 PM

Damn, those paypals fees and UK conversions are killer. From 20 US dollars down to 9.70. WOW!

I know what you mean. I had $13.54 or something left in my account and figured I couldnt do anything else with it so ill just send that. Didnt know it was gonna drop that much with the fees and all.

Yep, got it this time, and updated the list.

fsandys 09-25-2006 06:47 AM

Are we having a deadline Jab or just hoping that all posting members suddenly perk up and get their wallets out at some point? :lol:

Skaala 09-25-2006 08:28 AM

there we are... donation sent, 20quid as I said :D

Well I was going to set a target of say £1,000 and then make a post on piston heads saying that is how much we raised for the charity which they helped to set up.

Sadly I think that figure is just a dream though, so how about we make it £500...what does everyone else think ??

gis 09-25-2006 08:57 AM

£500 sounds good to me,i should think we can reach £500 between everyone on JW

Jabba 09-25-2006 08:59 AM

It should be on about £200 already if the postal/bank transfer donations arrive this week.

fsandys 09-25-2006 11:40 AM

Sounds good.

The odd thing is, when we have donation months for JW, we get a lot of response even if people cannot / are not going to donate.

But this thread seems suprisingly empty so far! :?

Jabba 09-25-2006 11:47 AM

Well I guess people get alot back from JW, and they want the service to continue, so they dont mind parting with a few bucks, someone who pays £1.99 a month says its the best money he currently spends in terms of being good value.

The helicopter fund is of course much more important, but then again they do already have over £150,000.

ZfrkS62 09-25-2006 12:04 PM

as mentioned in the other thread, i haven't the currency at the moment and i'm at the mercy of other things too :(

if i can manage it, i'll pitch in a bit.

TopGearNL 09-25-2006 12:30 PM

Money has been sent, thanks Jabba for sorting things out together with me! :wink:

And many people said they were going to donate in the other thread, haven't seen many of them in here so far :?

Euhm, the exchange rate plays a part in that, 1 GBP is of more value then 1 USD ...

I know which is why I said UK conversions in my post. I just feel bad because I wanted my contribution to be more significant.

Well your donation to JW is also and always appreciated of course Dani, I will update the JW donation list tomorrow. I am just gonna post up the brand new episode of 5th gear, then I am heading for bed.

:oops: Thinking about it, that last bit sounds like an invite LOL, anyway I have ET waiting for me of course.

Jabba 09-26-2006 05:11 AM

Well stupid things can be funny sometimes, hence why I let global-idiot keep on posting his messages for now :P

yg60m 09-26-2006 06:28 AM

If ET porn exist we should be able to find the porn part of Jabba with princess Leia in Star Wars :P I am sure that he didn't only chained her up :wink:

Jabba 09-26-2006 06:38 AM

I think you are right, especially as RH gets better (which is a good thing of course) and moves out of the news.

I think I will wait for the couple of postal donations to arrive that I have been promised, before then rounding it up to £200 if necessary with another donation from me, and then pass it over to the helicopter fund.

Feel free to comment if you think otherwise.

TopGearNL 09-27-2006 07:25 AM

Up to £190.24 now :mrgreen:

I said I was going to donate 20 pounds but I think I accidently donated 20 Euros :oops:

We still sending a card?

Jabba 09-27-2006 02:06 PM

If someone wants to arrange it, then that would be great, although I think it might be a little late now.

Yeh, sad indeed, its because people know that even if they don't donate, then there will always be others around to help finance a helicopter, JW or whatever.

Sadly yours is the last donation I am expecting as I got the others today via bank transfer, so I guess yours will be the last one before we hand the money over to the helicopter fund.

Well at least we gave something, I just hope people understand how important services like this are I have had friends and familiy saving their life because the service was available, people should think about it, cuz next time it could be them or someone they love.....

Your both exactly right, I always donate when it comes to these matters, wanna know why? Because my grandfather (who I never knew) got a heartattack and there was only 1 ambulance in the town (as we have 12 now! :shock: ) and the ambulance was already in use. That cost him his life. So I always give money to these matters as I know its always for a good cause :wink:

No need for you to bump it up to £200 Jab, when my donation arrives we will be above £200, wich I think is kind of sad really...
So many people have posted about how teribble it was that hammond was injured, and how good it is that he is getting better, the reason for that might very well be the air ambulance getting him to the hospital as fast as they did...

Hamster want donations to the air ambulance and now people are not dipping in, the same with with the JW fund everybody want JW to be around but not that many donate...

Put your money where your mouths are people....

Yep got your money today cheers, I have decided to donate another £90 from the JW donations pot, to make it upto £300 so that I can hand the cash over today.

If any other donations arrive after I have handed the money over, then I shall re-credit the JW donation pot with that money (hope this makes sense).
