That's more like it, In terms of timescale at least.
Re: Chess For Chas - Sunday 7th April - Linda McCusker - 08-04-2013
£940.......a fantastic sum of money raised for a very deserving cause =)
A big thank you to everyone involved in organising and running the event and a special big 'Thank You' to Andy. It was a great day which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
Re: Chess For Chas - Sunday 7th April Updated Total - Andy Howie - 08-04-2013
I have some fantastic news
Dell have agreed to match the amount raised and have the mechanism there for me to be able to claim for gift aid on the amount.
If I have done my maths correctly, that takes us to a staggering £2,256!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Chess For Chas - Sunday 7th April Updated Total - Jim Webster - 08-04-2013
Congratulations Andy -- Job well done!!!
Now we just need to beat that next time.
