Carrying on from another thread this is what I'd like to offer to raffle/auction or what ever raises most money for a deserving cause. Hopefully @Danny and @johniosaif will assist. Well worn trowels sell for big bucks on flea bay so I'd like to offer 2 carbon steel xtra lites made from the good steel , lovely soft pine handles, full service history. Sharp as razor's. Beautiful trowels to use. I'll chuck in 5rolls of scrim as well. I'll cover all postage .any one else willing to add something, collectively we could all chuck something in and raise s few Bob for a deserving cause, what Do you think?

maybe Danny can sort the postage out.
Make amends for the great Xmas pool comp shambles of 2016, 2017 and probably 2018 too

You are a gentleman of the forum with a big heart!

I'm all over your idea though do you know what we could do much more £10 a month a man I to a kids charity each month via membership could do te world if good and none of us would miss it!
 
I like where this is going, if @joniosaif can run the spreadsheet and people keep chucking stuff in then we could raise a few Bob for a good charity. I'll raise my trowels and scrim and add a soft and medium krend scraper

Your a man after my own heart, it's so easy to do and makes a big difference to real people. A lot of folk think donating to charity doesn't have an affect but look closer. There is a local charity near me called Richards wish, they raise money for families with terminally ill kids, you can see the work they do .

Mate I agree I will donate Larry's van I'm sure he won't mind @imago :D

Only joking mate anything I can do let me know, how to donate etc, to the charity you mention, I'm all for that (y)
 
And some delaminated skim I've now got in the back of the van - collection only
 
@Olican does it have to be plastering gear? Or is it going on eBay so can be anything?

If it's outside plastering gear I'm sure I could find something interesting in the unit. I found some new in the box Mullard Valves from the 1960's the other day. o_O

As for the charity, I'll go along with the majority on this one. I only donate to animal charities normally because humans p1ss me off and there's too many of them anyway.

I haven't worked out how to do it yet Larry, I was going to work on it tomorrow. My thoughts are this.
I want to raise as much as possible so let things gather momentum, start a just giving page, every one chip in a tenner winner takes all @joniosaif style (I never spell that right) maybe most money would be to auction on eBay. It's still a work in progress. Going to run a fake auction to see how much we could potentially reach
