Mods I've put this on here feel free to move this to the right forum but would like to have a few views first.,
Some of you will have called into the HJC shop and met or talked to Gerry, he's always there, opens the shop at 10am every morning, the nicest fella you could meet, been great to people who come in just for a chat, cup of tea etc anyway I won't go on
The plan is to pay for a holiday for himself and his missus, Edna. Possibly Malta for his 75th birthday, he spends enough freezing cold days behind that counter acting as advisor, friend, counsellor, tea maker and all-round boss Red, so lets show him how much we appreciate his graft.
The thing is - keep it as quiet as possible as we don't want him to get wind of it. No tittle tattle in the shop neither. I don't think he comes on the net but a lot of people who know him do - so 'mums the word'.
We've about 3 weeks collecting if we want to surprise him at the HJC do. We still need a few more bob for his holiday so come on all, where would you be without this man, where would you put your banners and bags, its not a lot we're asking, just a donation.
The account is irishkop@live.com if anyone would like to make a donation, please make a reference saying the donation is for Gerry McIver when you make your donation, otherwise, they won't know what it's for. also If sending a donation via paypal send it as a gift,that way paypal will not take a small commission and all the donation will go into this fund.
Thank you. John
