What are you doing holding that shirt in the pic? Did you run out of barge poles?

I was made to wear one on my stag do... My wife's maiden name is Maynard so they found and old Nicky Maynard shirt on eBay. I guess fortunately it was an away shirt, so less conspicuous, but still it was not fun. We burnt it in the end! Set it full on fire! I ended up wearing a dress for the rest of the night. But that is another story and to be honest I preferred wearing the fetching floral dress... 🤣 Stag do's...!  |

Making no apologies for bumping.
I will have a cash collection at my programme selling point by the Community Trust office today.
And just to get in practice of not wearing blue and white, I will be wearing the Gas Girls pink shirt supporting St Peters Hospice.
Thanks and UTG

Sorry bumping again. The charity have given me a poster with a QR code so I can take donations via phones and cash at my programme selling pitch and at the SC shop.
Many thanks.

Dave,
When is the deadline to donate? Will the link still be active after the 16th?

Dave, When is the deadline to donate? Will the link still be active after the 16th? Pretty sure the link will be available for a while afterwards. The company I work for, Broadstone Consulting Actuaries, have a matching fundraising policy up to £250, so that will take the amount over £600. In addition, there are pledges to donate after I do the deed and there is an ongoing collection in the BRSC matchday shop, so hopefully in the end, I should not be too far away from the £1,000 target. Please can you pass on the fundraising details and the just giving link to friends, family, work colleagues and fellow Gasheads. Many thanks. |

Well in around 12 hours I will do the deed in work.
I have a dentist appointment in the morning. I hope I have a filling and they give me some novocaine to ease the pain - of wearing the City shirt that is.
Feel free to have a once in a lifetime guilt free explosion of expletives in my direction tomorrow as long as you put a few pennies in the collection. (Not in the ground itself of course as we are a family club).
Ps Yatton, a pledge is a promise and I will be wearing a t shirt with your chosen expression underneath!
Thanks for your support. It is a good cause at the end of the day.

I feel it's your duty to post again on here tonight. Just so we know you made it out alive.

I feel it's your duty to post again on here tonight. Just so we know you made it out alive. Yeah I'm alive! Seriously, it makes you proud to be a Gashead. Shows a real family club when supporters dig deep in their pockets to help ill young kids. Needless to say there was a lot of ribbing and good natured banter plus many few crazy looks my way. Many thanks to those who have supported the cause. It was quite poignant that my half time interview with Lance was just before the Nick Anderton interview. Good to see him looking so well. It shows the medical advances that have been made in recent years. I will be collecting on Saturday for anyone who forgot cash last night and you can still go to the just giving site - see link earlier in the thread. Many thanks. Dave |

I have applied for a matched funding amount (up to a maximum) of £250 from work - Broadstone Consulting Actuaries.
So with that, the Just Giving donations, the bucket collections and gift aid, I should meet the £1,000 target.
Many thanks to those who have donated, helped publicize and generally supported (or gave some banter on the day).
I won't do it again though. Athough I wore a long sleeve tee underneath, I have had to have a few showers to feel clean again!
Special thanks to Ash at work for loaning the shirt, to OTIB for supporting the event and arranging donations.
And a special mention to Bristol City, Bristol Sport and the Robins Foundation for completely ignoring my requests for a donation of a shirt for charity. Sums it up really.
