Mk2_Zephyr Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 i don't wanna sound bad, but if THEY didn't make a KILLING at Avondale, then Turnip blew it ..... Sorry, but gifts like that are made to cover ALL the blues, like Anderton and shittock .... Quote
Poisoned Dwarf Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Turnip could retire from training and become a full-time caregiver.......better wages than being a horse trainer. Quote

A plan so GOOOD it'll bring out the best in all of us, make us all feel good, and best of all, help someone who needs help.. Instead of tapping in to the other site's link to help Maija Vance through Gofundme, LET'S DO OUR OWN THING AND MAKE A BULK DONATION FROM BOAY members. Surely between us we can make $1k or more ....surely one or other of you guys/girls knows the Vance family.. CS ...what say you? Can we set up a BOAY MAIJA VANCE fund/account administered by BOAY or a reputable, honourable all-round good guy/girl , keep it going til (say) the end of the Riccarton Cup carnival, or Xmas) and give the BOAY FUNDS to the Vance family in December? Tis the season of good racing ... and goodwill... and a chance for BOAY to flex its muscle and DO SOME GOOD IN THE WORLD. I am happy to kick this off by donating $100, once the logistics are sorted. 3 Quote

hesi Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 Good point Jason, some of these charity set ups can clip the ticket too much......I think Easiest way for this to be handled is for The Chief to put up a bank account no and people can internet transfer money and make a thread comment Then he can just transfer money to the Vances Someone who still has an account on RC can mail Turnip Orange(Bob Vance) Ok with u Chief? 1 1 Quote
Weasel Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Good work, gents - I checked the Gofundme 'donate' page and found its in AU $$$ and theres a 15% recommended fee to them. Thieving bawsteds. This project is worth doing for its own sake but I recommend: establish a specific timeframe for donations from BOAY members, family, friends.. be proactive in that time in getting the 'pot' added to. don't tell the Vances anything until the time's up (week before Xmas). Then give the donation to themon behalf of BOAY forum and publicise it (obviously on this forum) via NZ Racing Desk, Informant, Herald, Trackside, whatever. At least BOAY will get some deserved recognition for the initiative, coordinating the project and achievement of funds raised. I stress that the publicity is secondary motivation here; primary one is to HELP MAIJA and family through a very difficult period. 3 1 Quote
hesi Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 Great energy that you bring to this site mustelid Makes a big difference Come in Chief, requires an account number and your blessing Quote
Weasel Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 v kind of you, Hesi thanks. If CS does not want the hassle of this I am happy to do it on my own bat, ie set up a bank account and coordinate things. It is a busy time of year for everyone. Quote
hesi Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 I'll email him to remind him to look at his own website Quote

hesi Posted October 25, 2018 Author Posted October 25, 2018 If there is any query or resistance at all on this, as there can be when it comes to money, then will ask The Chief to use his account Quote
Weasel Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Understood. I'll set an account up in a sensible way. There is always the famous Mustelid Code of Conduct and its motto: Integrity or Death. We are all on our honour here. Quote
jess Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Loving this Weasel, Hesi & co. As Blackadder would say - plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel ? Oh and it just so happens we have a Weasel in our midst! (Let's not dwell on whether he really has a tail... ?) I don't like the idea of 15% coming off the top when this way, the Mustelid Code of Conduct would see all our donations go in full to Maija. Don't know you fellas personally but feel like I know enough to trust your good hearts and will be donating Thanks and I will check back in for details. Go BOAY!!! Jess 4 Quote
Weasel Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 thanks Jess, appreciated...and I'm still waiting for a mailing address to send you the little Redwood something I brought back for you from Westbury D: Quote

Weasel Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 The fundraising project for Maija Vance now has its own thread which includes all details needed for kind-hearted BOAYERS and their friends to contribute to this cause. Fund stays open until mid-December 2018, with ALL FUNDS going directly to Maija Vance. Quote
