Re: Classic Le Mans Commemorative Grille Badge
Thank you everyone who supported this fund raising initiative.
All the badges are sold.
Many people have been very generous, some donated extra to the guide price, some collected by hand yet still paid carriage charges, some donated and didn't even want a badge.
Thank you all.
So, I had hoped to raise £700 or more. Each purchase ensured at least £15 went to the '£10k for 10 years' fund. But those extra contributions were also added into the mix.
And I'm delighted to confirm that we raised £930!
As a further gesture on my part I have rounded that up to a four figure sum.
I have contributed direct to the 'just giving' website.
We raised a total of £1,000!
Well done DDK.

Excellent news, great effort Paul
I can also confirm the badge stays in place even when just balanced on as you drive 5 miles to the MOT station!

Always remember: Using the nuts supplied is more secure than gravity alone.

Re: Classic Le Mans Commemorative Grille Badge
This was about 1970, I can remember a Mr.Tindle (editor?) but he'd be long gone now, is this the son?Ferry Man wrote:Still exists (although the photography is not as good as it once was).anglophone1 wrote:One of my earliest paying jobs was junior photographer on the Farnham Herald, does it still exist?
Old man Tindle is still alive too.
He loves veteran cars and is a big sponsor of the London to Brighton car rally.
Don't remember the photography being that good, I was taught to always get lots of faces in so they (and their relatives) all bought a copy.
My local rag in Ireland (The Southern Star) still does the same thing!
Well done on the charity front, 930 is such a nice number, I'd really like a good LHD one.
Look forward to meeting you at CLM.

No, still Ray Tindle. Still owns the newspaper and still alive. He's frail now but doing well.anglophone1 wrote:I can remember a Mr.Tindle (editor?) but he'd be long gone now, is this the son?
I bought my girlfriend (now wife of 30+ years) her first car from his wife.
I'd obtained the Farnham Herald classifieds a day before the paper was published. He wanted to know how I'd stole a march. Sold us the car though.

Re: Classic Le Mans Commemorative Grille Badge
There's still a chance to bag yourself one of these SOLD OUT & splendid grill badges and also help along the £10k for 10 Year appeal. Please see my post toward the bottom of page seven of this thread.
