Default Forum Badge profits for H4H

Message for those who contributed
After selling the final badges I have had a count up and the total sales came to £312.50, the total deductions (cost of badges, postage & paypal fees) came to £178.89 leaving us with a healthy profit of £133.61p due in no small part to some very generous members donating extra to our cause, you know who you are so thankyou very much again. I made a donation for £135 to H4H today so this added to our previous donation of £140 means Forum members buying a badge (or two!!) have all contributed to a total of £275 raised by us for our favourite charity, so a big well done to you all
Best wishes,
Wilf.

Hi Steve,

Well done to you for organising it all, mate. Have you considered car stickers and TRFs?

Phil

Magnificent stuff, Wilf.

A huge effort involved for you in seeing this whole project through from start to finish which, if I may say so, has been executed with considerable aplomb.

Sterling work.

Very well done mate, you're a credit to The Hertfordshire Pals.

Instant promotion to Adjutant.

AND

In recognition of this splendid achievement, I would like to suggest that you be nominated for the position of Quartermaster in the Battalion consisting of Forum members, that was suggested some while ago, (Unfortunately, I can't find the original post), nor can I remember who originated the thread..

But seriously, an excellent and very worthwhile undertaking.

Regards
Brian
