Good luck mate.  I posted something similar a couple of weeks ago ( http://www.mud-club.com/forum/index.php/topic,55540.msg494894.html#msg494894 )

Over 300 views, and only two pledges.  Not wanting to sound ungrateful, as I understand lots of people do give outside of the interweb, but I think we can all agree that's not a very good return, especially for something that actually gives 4x4's good press.

I hope you manage to get to £600 you, and Macmillan, need.

I think you will find that people do not like to be pressganged into giving money. Asking once and allowing people to choose is the standard accepted way.

Hightower - are you coming to the meet in March with your sponsor sheet?

Yes mate, hope to be there, especially as it looks like Big Rich is going to be navigating for me!!  God help us both :?

Haven't got a sponsor sheet yet.  Everything has been going on www.justgiving.com/mac4x4team27 so that we get the tax relief back  ;)
