donations

Adam received the email and phoned me the next day to inform me that they had a raffle at the weekend for the Tsunami at their Christmas party and raised £405.00 !!!. I will be collecting this Friday afternoon and wish to thank all the drivers, staff and everyone who donated items to the raffle for helping with the efforts in Thailand. I will be delivering a signed plaque for the office and asking for a report of what their money got when Brendan or Steve returns to replace the plaque.

Thanks again to everyone who made this large donation possible and Griff for his additional.

Ade Downey from Freightlinx has just brought in £100.00 and I have just text him with thanks and he has authorised us to put this donation on the site. Thanks to everyone at Frightlinx for this donation.

Stuart called in and he has popped off to get a mosquito net for Steve. If any one else has one for Brendan it would be appreciated. Cheers Stuart, you are a rock star.

Richard Simpkin has donated the dive computer on permanent loan until Steve's return and Steve was so relived it was clearly recognisable in his voice when he phoned a while ago. He will be in un-charted "non dive sites" and is worried about the task ahead and this has relieved him a great deal. He is grateful to Richard and the people that have donated so far. Steve has promised to look after the kit and will replace if it lost, stolen or broken and want to kiss Richard. (Hmmm)

Many thanks to everyone for what they have been doing so far, he was really tired and a little confused as he was worried about the dive computer but now relieved. He is diving with charts and grid references and needs the computer for kick rates, depth, oxygen and nitrogen and loads more I didn't understand. It is dangerous where they will be diving without the worry of not having a computer so thanks for that Richard.

Steve - Richard has had new batteries installed this morning and Dive Line have checked it over and serviced it.

Laura has just popped in and put £50.00 in an envelope and written Steve a love note on the cover. This is very kind of you as your exchanging on your new house tomorrow and I know this is generous of you Laura and Justin - Don't tickle me...

Thanks for the cheque for £100.00. I am sure that Steve will know what to do with it Bev'. Many thanks for your generosity and hope all is well. Snow in Spain hey ?...

My mum has already gone to Solar and got the marmite, Sauces and Socks Steve mentioned. Batteries also secured.

Thanks for the cash today. £100.00. goes along way over there and I am sure Steve and Brendan will be able to put it to good use and I will ask Brendan to email over what your money did for the people of the Kao Lak area of Thailand. Thanks a million - Bhat...

Thanks for the £20 this morning Simon. Sorry I missed you earlier and thanks to yourself & Blue Star for this money. All donations help to push the total up.

Many thanks for the £50.00 cheque and getting the time to drop it off. Good to see you and hope your truck puncture seal business does well Daren. So good to see you donate when you are involved in your new business and going it alone. Well done, We will ask Brendan to let you know how your donation helped.

Thanks for such a generous contribution and thanks for getting here just in time !. Your cheque is warmly received and Steve will send you an email if you could email me here and I will forward your email to him so he can email you back when he can get to a working P.C. £100.00 is a great donation and I will ask Brendan to let you know what your efforts have done for the people of the Kho Lak area of Thailand. Thanks again to you both for such a generous gift.

Thanks to everyone from the Bloomfield clan that have helped. Writing pencils, coloured pencils, the all important tool belts, paper and pads and the £50.00 have all been stashed and compressed as best as possible (along with the Marmite) and will be going out Brendan. Thanks for the effort and support and I am sure the children will be able to use the items you have supplied to help express themselves to the people supporting them so they can understand how to help them best as well as giving them their own possessions to keep when they may have lost all other personal effects.

Thanks for the mobile's that Steve asked for. They are having trouble with communications but the network is up on the hills so mobiles are working. They have got sim cards out of their own money and use them to talk from site to site and back to the camp. Jamie has just brought in four Nokia phones as asked for. (everyone can charge a Nokia). I am sure everyone at the camp appreciates your donation. Cheers Bah...

Cheers for the £40 dropped off to Mum and Dads the other night. We will wire it over and make sure the lads get it to buy kit or supplies for the locals. Brilliant, Thanks.

Cheers for the butter knifes they need (hur) and help with the postage costs of the parcel of late items that we sent Tuesday that couldn't go with Bubz.
