[simmsy]

gday all,
i just wanted to post here to let everyone know about the monies that were raised during last weeks GSM Champs weekend.

firstly just a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that was involved.

TOURFIT for his generosity in providing his brilliant forged clubs and his services.
Veeman for his bidding of the irons
Hocko for his bumping of the irons

all very much appreciated.

All the Easties that came over and participated in the way that they did, thank you all for your time and efforts. it was a great weekend that you guys played a massive part in. Also Marto for his donation of the badges and hats that he provided and were sold on to WAnkers but also to my parents and sister.

To all the WAnkers that made this weekend happen, Shadesy for your organisational and T-bagging skills, Hocko & JC for providing us with the GSM Trophy in the first place last year.

to everyone else that played there part and put the money in the tin for their shanks and birdies and also just the random donations that were made.

Also not to forget MegaWatty for the pizzas on saturday night. thanks mate.

thank you all. this community we have here is very special and a great deal of you have tremendously big hearts. cheers all.

attached is the receipt to Lifeline (incase anyone thinks im pocketing the cash ;) )

We raised $346.55 on the weekend.
TOURFIT's donation raised another $600.00 (this will be sorted out in good time, when the parties involved can get the time)

cheers to you all.

Simmsy.

Well done Simmsy ...

I forgot to pay my bunker tax on Sunday.... and I had a birdie too ..

[Ashes]

Awesome work. Well done everyone for chipping in; a very good cause!

[simmsy]

Tourfit wishes he could Ashes.

[Ashes]

Lol

I imagine it would be difficult to chip in with a sherman..

In all seriousness, full credit to Fit for his donation.

[simmsy]

Totally.

[hocko]

Well done boys!

Sure is nice to know there are good hearted people around here.

Thank you to you Simmsy for bringing "the issue" to the fore front here. It's a tragic way to have to be made aware of it but the important thing is, you are aware of it and letting it be known the way you have can only help others who may think they are the only one or are afraid to face up to it.

"Harden up" is not the answer (men). Believe me...

:)

Well done Simmsy.

By the way, I'm really sorry I forgot to give you the money for the PI ticket on the weekend. I'll get in touch to fix you up for that.

[simmsy]

argh that's cool v4. if you want mate i can ping you my bank details if that works best?

[Golfnut]

Well done everyone....especially Tourfit, Hocko and Veeman, outstanding effort lads.

Simmsy, great job on getting this up and organised.....you are a real credit to this place mate.....keep it up, we're right behind you (pro homo)

Big challenge to beat that total next year but I'm sure we're up to it.

argh that's cool v4. if you want mate i can ping you my bank details if that works best?

Thanks. That'll be great.

Well done to all involved!

I lurk around on a few forums, not just golf related, and it is truly awesome to see similar types of fundraising going on across many different fields.

Pity I couldn't be there to make a contribution. With things such as bunker tax etc as mentioned above, I think my back pocket would have ended up substantially lighter after the weekend. Will be there with bells on in 2013!

[simmsy]

Be good to have u down there gk.

Be sure to have ur post count up to spec.

[G.K]

I'll keep working on it simmsy!

[simmsy]

Just follow Yoss's philosophy.

Just follow Yoss's philosophy.

That it's only gay if balls touch?

[G.K]

Speaking of touching, I ain't gonna touch that with a 40 foot pole.

Now back on topic. Simmsy, we do a bit of fundraising at work. We have casual dress in the office on a Friday and accept a gold coin donantion from any workers in casual dress. It's not mandatory to donate but the majority of people chip in. At the end of each month, we chose a charity and donate the money raised. I was thinking that as I didn't get to make a contribution at the champs, I'll nominate Lifeline as the charity for the money that we raise this month. I assume the easiest way to pass on the funds would be through their website?

[simmsy]

wow that would be really cool mate.

yeah if you just go to
