I've since spotted the original Just Giving page for JS25, https://www.justgiving.com/js25 but as it all ends up in the same pot, I'll let sleeping dogs lie.

Cheers ritchie, well done for sticking with it this season. Enjoy the summer - wherever it takes you.

[Amelia Chaffinch]

Paid £15 to each charity for himself and I.

[theo_luddite]

Thanks AmChaff & of course his Lordship.
(Grovel, bow, scrape, shuffels off into the wings. I would tug my forelock if only I still had one).

I've added the extra quid to your bonus line.

[theo_luddite]

Evenin' all.

I've had an email from Paula Earnshaw, events manager at The Town Foundation.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for being a regular giver to the Huddersfield Town Foundation. Your support makes a massive difference and allows The Foundation to continue to support the community in and around the Kirklees area.

Currently, The Foundation has two platforms where donations can be made on a monthly or one-off basis. To simplify this, we are in the process of moving all donations to the Enthuse platform.

As you currently donate via Just Giving, which charges The Foundation a higher monthly fee than the Enthuse platform, would you please take a few minutes to register your details on the Enthuse platform using the link below and once your donation page is completed, cancel your payments via the Just Giving platform.

https://huddersfieldtownfoundation.enthu.../pagec701f

Also, did you know you can support Huddersfield Town Foundation by raising money every time you shop online? - and it doesn’t cost you a penny!

We’re using easyfundraising, a free fundraising platform that allows us to earn money when we all shop online. easyfundraising works with over 7,000 online retailers, everyone from Tesco, eBay, Sports Direct, M&S, Boots, Just Eat, Booking.com, and everything in between.

Once signed up all you need to do is start your shopping journey at the easyfundraising website, use the browser extension or app (information will be provided when you register) and the retailer you shop with will send us a free donation based on how much you spend.

So please support us if you can by registering yourself today at http://efraising.org/quoy8Qi2Le it only takes 2 minutes and all you need is your email address. Please also share with your friends and family if they would also like to help!

PLUS - to help us get up and running, for a limited time only, we have been offered an additional incentive!

For the next two weeks easyfundraising will give us £1 for every new supporter if we can get a minimum of 10 signed up (with no upper limit), so 10 = £10, 20 = £20 and so on so now is the ideal time to do it.

If you have any questions about anything covered in this email, please just let me know and I will do my best to help.



Kind Regards,

Paula

Here's my reply - hopefully it meets with your collective approval.
I've sent it anyway so we can have a bun fight at the OK Corral (or outside Costa) at the start of next season if it doesn't.


Good afternoon Paula,

thank you for your email (I found it in my Spam folder so you may want to address how many people you blind copy in one go) regarding the JustGiving donations. These are in my name but the funds are raised by a group of Town fans that live all over the country, even though there's currently only half-a-dozen of us. We are (nearly) all refugees from the former BBC Sports forum pages and we raise funds on an annual basis for The Town Foundation, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust through a page on the Sports Babble forum. All these charities are available on the same platform for donating with JustGiving, which just makes it easier for us.

I've not looked on the Enthuse platform yet but if you can tell me we can do the same on their platform then I will put it to the group for consideration for next season. As donators (if that's a word ?!?, or did I just make one up ???) we've no idea what these platforms charge, but we know they all don't do it for nothing. They make a living out of it one way or the other.

As Town have now stopped playing, our fundraising is at an end for this season and most of the donations are already in so it makes no sense to change anything now.

I've included a link to our Sports Babble page for the season just ended.

Players for Pounds 2022-2023 (link to the OP for this thread)

Hopefully there's nothing here that offends either the club or The Town Foundation and if you can persuade a few more to join us next season then our contributions will only increase.

By the way, apart from one married couple, we've mostly not knowingly met each other either.
It's a friendship forged through following Town through thick and thin, some of us for longer than we can remember with the odd whipper-snapper thrown in the deep end and a bit of banter on that there t'interweb.

Thank you again, best regards and here's to a more successful season for Town in terms of points and funds raised by us next season.

[Amelia Chaffinch]

Good reply, theo, and getting our efforts known.

[Lord Snooty]

Aye. Nice one theo.
