smithy Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 there is a rumour in the hillclimb circles that a fellow by the name of mr butler, who owns spec-savers USA will cough up the remaining outstanding capital needed! he has competed on the hill at some point.

windy Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The bit that worries me in the letter is the statement "If we do save Shelsley Walsh those who have made donations will get preference when future hillclimb entries are oversubscribed" So I guess that means that those that don't donate needn't submit entries for events? Rules us lot out then - so stuff it where the sun don't shine pal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 OK, I binned my letter as well....but just say someone does donate some cash (and by the tone of the letter it convinces you that it should be no small amount) and they still dont raise enough to save the venue. What then happens to the donations...do they get returned? I dont think so..... I might start a "Save Shelsey" fund and hope that it doesn't get saved. I could make a pile of cash John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Just called in at home between appointments - bursting for the loo!

Well done old beans - guffaw guffaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterg Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 but just say someone does donate some cash (and by the tone of the letter it convinces you that it should be no small amount) and they still dont raise enough to save the venue. What then happens to the donations...do they get returned? I dont think so..... are you sure you've really read the letter and the other ones issued for this appeal? The Shelsley Trust are obliged to keep a record of every person who had made a donation AND how much for precisely this reason. And yes, I made a very small contribution (can't afford much these days) and I and some friends bought a few raffle tickets in the hope it will be saved.....and I get to keep getting entries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
