If you are after real time speedway alerts to your mobile (approx. every 5 heats), its £1 per meeting. 20% can be donated to something of your choice eg. benevolent fund, rider or club. All messages are free.

 

cheers

[Nevs 4]

Where does the other 80% go would you mind breaking it down in exact terms please?

 

Cheers who?

 

Dont get me wrong but if it was a genuine forum members name recommending this site then Im sure people would be interested-but its your second post about this and dont appear to say who you are or explain it any further.

 

Bargain Could we not negotiate and you say send 50% to the speedway riders benevolent fund if we all phone up instead? or at least post in your own name and recommend the site to others rather than just your 2nd post?-Are you trawling?

 

Where does the other 80% go on your 20% proposal if not?

 

 

I certainly hope and am sure its not anything to do with live updates-the main purpose of everyone on that site is to make it free to others via pc,s and now has move into wap in terms of pure wap access-not £1 a meeting as far as I know-wap updates sure-but not at that price surely. The guys and girls that either text or update do it purely at their own expense be it cost of texts or cost of broadband to update on their pcs at home-not bleeding charge for it. Please enlarge on the situation eh?

 

And would you mind adding a name after cheers so it seems genuine.

 

SCB-The Malthouse had a very nice reply last week from Bernard Crapper in appreciation of the fund raising night with Lol ,Seemond,Mike and Matt there a few weeks earlier in terms of what was raised.

 

Bear in mind mind Lol and his fiancee paid their own way to be there all the way from Ipswich for such a worthy cause and demanded nothing what so ever.

 

The Staff were chuffed to bits and the letter takes pride of place on the food ordering counter for all customers to see.Can get you address on Tuesday if you dont have it.

 

After raising money for the speedway riders benevolent fund after Tonis injury during the winter they are now raising money for the North Devon childrens hospice.

 

Cheers.

I can clarify Nevs that this is nothing to do with us at Speedway Update.....we would never make any kind of profit out of the updates....or indeed ask anyone to make payment for the service.

 

Plus I would be interested to know where the information is coming from.....does this service have texters at most tracks like we do? Or are they taking the info from somewhere else?

I have recently produced a very limited edition art print of Jason Crump which was a commission from the main man himself. Its limited to only 150 copies only. The prints have been counter signed by Jason.

 

We would like to donate one to the SRBF. As the edition will quickly sell out - so I would want to raise as much money for the SRBF as possible. Can someone from advise me where I should send it and which would be the best way to make as much from it for this cause.

 

PM me if you wish.

JIM

you could obviously send it to Bernard,but why not say pass it around the tracks via the supporters clubs,get it all signed up and auction it off at the end end of the season or summat? Frame it up in an oversize frame and get the signiautures round the sides? Whadya reckon?

Ah, I haven't clicked on the SRBF thread lately and the everyclick fundraising is exactly the same as something I have suggested on the forum, has this been advertised in the Star and club programmes?

Is there a contact e-mail address for the SRBF? We are aiming to donate at least 10% of all sales of WildKaRD games to the SRBF and need a contact so we can arrange the best way for both parties to do this.

Is there a contact e-mail address for the SRBF? We are aiming to donate at least 10% of all sales of WildKaRD games to the SRBF and need a contact so we can arrange the best way for both parties to do this.

The annual report for the SRBF gives no email address only its postal address which is ACU House, Wood Street, Rugby, CV21 2DU. As this is also the home of the SCB you could try contacting them office@scbureau.plus.com or telephone 01788 565603 fax 01788 552308. The person in charge of the SRBF now is I believe the former ref Paul Ackroyd. Its just a pity that the £99 spend by the fund in advertising in 2007 (down from £469 in 2006) couldn't run to placing ads,giving contact details and brief description of what the fund does, in the programme when each track holds its annual collection for the SRBF or do, as someone connected with the fund once informed me, programme editors throw away any ads the SRBF send them.

I've just had this e-mail from Paul Ackroyd.

 

Hi Guys,

I have registered the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund for the Small Charities Car Draw on everyclick.com.

 

I would be very grateful if you could help me by passing on details of the draw to everyone you know who is interested or involved in speedway, as this is a really good opportunity to raise cash for the SRBF.

 

Tickets are bought on line for £2 each of which £1.94 is donated to the SRBF. The draw takes place in October.

 

All the details can be found on :

 

http://www..everyclick.com/the-speeedway-r...nt-fund/15222/0

 

If each of you could pass this on, to at least 10 other contacts, who pass it on to another 10,etc., and everyone buys one ticket each we stand a good chance of raising extra cash for the Ben Fund.

 

Many thanks for your help

 

Regards

 

Paul Ackroyd

Evening All,

 

Myself and some work colleagues are entering into the 10K Run in Northampton on Sunday the 4th of October and I have chosen to raise as much sponsership money as possible for the SRBF. As I attend meetings @ Brandon week in week out I feel that the opporunity to raise money for the SRBF was a great way to support the sport I love and the unfortuante riders that have seriously injured themselves as a result of racing speedway and most probably attempting to entertain us!

 

Please PM me if you are interested in sponsering me (Being a fairly unfit lad at the moment im aiming to complete the 6.3 mile course in under 60 Mins) Looks like il be off the Cider and Chocolate for the next 2 and a half months!

 

Cheers

 

Will

Is there a new topic for the 2014 Ben Fund Race Meeting At Leicester? If there is, where is it please, I cannot seem to find it.......

 

Mod Note: topic now set up at http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=75720

Please note this topic is for the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund information and discussion on fund raising ideas but not for meetings which should always be set up as a separate thread
