"Help for Heroes" - Charity Auction #3A - Bushcraft Pouches

[British Red]

In aid of the charity "Help for Heroes" - which aims to care for wounded service personnel, John Fenna (fellow member of the facially hirsute and handsome club) has made a very kind offer. One full set of his Welsh "Dragonskin" leather pouches.

He tells me they aren't real dragonskin, but, the ones containing my stove and brew kit appear to match up to a bald patch in Smaugs waistcoat - you decide!

John makes great pouches - I know - theres two in my pack right now!

You get to pick a set from whatever John has available as the auction ends - you won't be sorry!

If you would like to help, please consider one of the following options:

1) Bid on this item
2) Just make a donation on the links above - anything - that cup of coffee you are about to buy at work would be more than enough
3) If you feel as I do, perhaps you would consider auctioning something yourself. Your time, an item, a surplus thing in your "glory hole", something you have made, a guided walk - whatever you can spare.
4)Shake the hand of a service man or woman and just say "thank you - I am proud to have met you"

Thank you for taking time to read this thread

Pouches not for me so I've made a little contribution online. These boys need and deserve our support. Baz

Something seems to have gone wrong with the numbering of the auction bits and both this one and Waylands Photo Auction have the same number - can anyone sort this out?

[British Red]

If you drop Toddy or Leon-1 a pm I'm sure they will

In retrospect I think numbering was a silly idea of mine :o

Thanks to both John, Dingo and all the others :)

I've changed it to 3A, but if I can trace all of the threads I'll maybe just give it another, later, number.
This auction idea really needs it's own mini forum I think.

You all :You_Rock_ :You_Rock_ :D

cheers,
Toddy

[John Fenna]

Thanks Toddy

It has got a bit "out of hand" huh :o ? Indeed theres one or two things going to happen next year just because we didn't want to "overwhelm".

I have to say this community really is that - a proper community. I was in a very dark place when I read the original story. John and all the guys and girls have really shown me that the world is, in reality, full of kind and generous spirits and its only the odd numpty that makes the press - not all the gentle caring people.

Thanks to you all

Not so much out of hand, just trying to find all the posts is a bittie confusing.
Maybe a "Close to Heart" sort of idea. I don't mean soppy puppies but the quiet, "this needs a little help" type thing.

atb,
Mary

[British Red]

That is a great idea Toddy!

How about a sub forum called something like (in best Smashie and Nicey voice) 'It's all for charity mate'

[firebreather]

shameless bump

[John Fenna]

Done and dusted!
The pouches will be in the post tomorrow!
Well done all who bid on any of the items!:You_Rock_

[Matt Weir]

Damn you Dingo (only joking) :D

[John Fenna]

Matt - I still have some for sale.........

[Matt Weir]

Well...

It's my birthday on the 16th January so...

[John Fenna]

Ohhh - you deserve to treat yourself (or get someone close to you to prove how much you mean to them......)

[Matt Weir]

Presactly ;)
