Think it's an excellent idea Tim.

I will keep offering my paypal for donations as well.

I have an email circulating at work and am hoping for some generousity from there, will also tap up friends and family.

I'll keep you posted with the totals

Great stuff TP (though if we are going to go for a desalinator dont go spending any more at the shopps ) 😉

Glad to find a current list of needed items. We've already taken a batch of aid to Salisbury base of Friends of Maldives (saw our actual boxes arrive on a news report yesterday which was great to see) but group of friends have collected more and I plan to organise a collection through pre-school I work at. Some items already collected are now not on current list (clothes and bedding)- do you still need them for sending later on or should we give to Oxfam? Also could we deliver to your base (we're in Verwood)- I understand Salisbury can no longer accept aid. Can I have an address and times of opening please. Hope to hear soon.

We cant handle the soft stuff now, over what we already know is coming that is, check out other disaster related orgs for them as someone will take them.
The problem we have is one of space, both in storage and then on the transport so we have to be realistic and start getting more particular over what we can accept. - gosh that sounds so hard but honestly, it isnt meant to be.
We have 2 main collecting points. Ours in Lancing, West Sussex and the main depot in Southampton. If you let me know which is closest to you then I will give you the addy to come to.

Yours

Me again - sorry forgot to ask for a copy of your poster. Do you want to email it to me (Kaz@Verwood07.FSNet.co.uk) or email me and I will reply with my home address. Ta!

kazzyfrost · ‎07-01-2005

Southampton would be the nearest for us. Shame about the clothes/bedding but we'll see if we can pass it on. Will concentrate on other items listed.

Tim,

over the course of the weekend I will see what I can place to sell for you guys....did you get the email from B & Q???
Has anyone else been in touch re tarpaulin etc??

timntri · ‎07-01-2005

No email from B&Q yet sumpti, you might have a go at chasing it up for me in case it got lost in the post.
Been having to do this through all sorts of pooter probs :_|

tim having problems getting e-mail to you can you e-mail me with address to send any money to please thanks

timntri · ‎08-01-2005

Morning all

Karate, you can either paypal donations to me tjmaggots@aol.com or else post direct
(Same goes for anyone else)
My address is
Tim Margetts
19 Busticle Lane
Sompting
West Sussex
BN15 0DJ

If you want to send cheques they should be made out to Friends of Maldives and I would advise using registered post for sending any donations so PayPal may be easier.
Anyone can also post items direct to me if they want to.

We have had an air compressor donated yesterday but still need more heavier equipment so if any of you have any generators etc. kicking around then that would be really great, badger your local building merchants etc.

Have a great day

Tim :-x

Update

Urgently needed if anyone has one spare, a laptop pooter, (PC or Applemac) doesnt have to be all singing and dancing, just functional and able to connect up to internet via a 10/100 b/band. If we get more than 1 then that will be even better as it will alow more than 1 person to work at a time.
email me if you can help

Thanks
Tim

I have started another thread specifically for the desalinator appeal
