Macmillan: look at this total!!!

Post by Barry »

Hi folks, remember me? :oops:

The other day I realised that the NEC 'do' was fast looming, and that I'd promised Helen some Macmillan goodies including a giant (dummy) cheque with the current grand total of what the DDK crew have raised to date right from the start.

You're not going to believe this:

2006: £9127.50
2007: £2219.00
2008: £7500 (auction).
2008: £1210 (1st batch of cheques)
2008: £1650 (2nd batch of cheques)
2008: £403 (3rd batch of cheques)
2008: £245 (4th batch of cheques)
2008: £216 (5th batch of cheques)


Therefore, so far in the last three years, DDK have raised ......


£22,570.50 !!!

In addition, almost all of the cheques that have passed through my hands have been Gift-Aided, which adds at least a further 28% to these donations.

PLUS, I know there have been many donations that have found their way direct to Macmillan from individual members.

I'll give a breakdown of where the 2008 monies have come from when I get a while to transfer the details from the (hand-written :roll: ) file to the proper DDK thread, but just had to post the total, as I hadn't realised quite how much had been raised.

Quite amazing.

Nice one. If I sell my car to a DDKer, I'll chip a wunner, a poorly fish and a double nugget onto that.

I've got that "double nugget" video and I'm happy to auction it on here and donate the money. Reckon I'll get more than £2. I paid £20 for it, so I hope so... :oops:

Fantastic result on the donations though - it's a charity very close to me for personal reasons and I'm absolutely delighted to see that figure. It says a lot about the people that make up DDK that we can raise such a figure. Well done all. :occasion5:

I'm up for shooting the massive cheque. Maybe we could take it out to Wales and get some photos of it going sideways on the Evo triangle, and parked-up on a mountain at sunrise.

Maybe a group test with other comedy-size charity cheques?
