hi guys,yes weve all got fat at xmas time on turkey and cider[me especially ;D ;D]now as a personal pledge to the heirachy of dw can i offer a next rally fundraiser for the family of farmer phil ,,,any monies raised  will go to either phils family or a charity of there choice,now i,m not after cash now but a pledge to bring something extra to the next dw rally,you may even send pleges to  dw before rally[something we will have to work out ],,,,i will start the ball rolling with a pledge of 10 pounds,,,,,,come on admin,lets do something worthwhile.

Good idea Paul - I am sure we can work on something suitable in the memory of Phil for a future DW Rally. Let me have a chat with Admin and Rob and see what we can come up with.

Its been an awful loss of a real gent and a friend to many people.

Kind Regards

Neil

I also like the idea, especially Verminator's of passing around a donations tin and naming the rally after Phil.  It might also be better for some folks who might not be able to contribute as much as others. 

Really nice idea guys. Phil was a real gent and I'm sure we can do something in his honour.

good idea verminator,im just throwing the ball into dws court and together we can work something out,so any ideas or suggestions will im sure be valuable into helping where we can.

A fine idea for a deserving cause. This good man was taken far to early and I still can not believe it. Phil will not be forgotten.

hi all,i haven't been on the site for a bit and shocked to hear the sad news about Phil you can definitely put me down for the rally and i will match paulywow £10.

what if we have a rally and instead of paying for the rally £6 and have a whip around on top. We then put all the money towards a Charity named by Phil's family.

Thanks for the suggestion Hammymag.  I think though that we will let the other Welsh Clubs that Phil was a member of do as they wish. This way hopefully there can be two events that members of both can attend and hence raise a bit more.

As we have done in the past when unfortunately a member passes on, we will be remembering Phil passing, but it takes a while to arrange. More details to follow.

Kind Regards
Neil

I'd help in anyway i can through DW, whether a pledge, donation etc whatever you guys decide

I'll let Neil deal with the last post !  :o   (now deleted by Admin!)


Another suggestion is to hold an Annual Rally in Phil's name with a donation tin passed about and proceeds going to
a good cause.

I have to agree with you Neil, by letting the clubs do their own thing, it will be a personal memorial to Phil from that club.
What can be done is maybe give the monies to the same charity as requested by Phil's family ???

Thanks Neil, look forward to it it  - hope you arrange something suitable soon.  Phil was a cracker and people like him are few and far between unfortunately.

i agree with phil...lets give donations at the next rally and let farmer's family use it  whichever way they want.....byron

Personally, I think it may be better to buy a personalised gift or momento to give to the family
such as an inscribed vase or whatever.

Giving money can be a bit vulgar sometimes, but a gift + flowers says a lot more.

But, I'll go with the flow.....

as Neil has put this on here ,is there anything that detectingwales.com are going to have for Phil!!!!! as other members have mentioned .can any admin let us know please. cheers

all i will say is that i know dw is actively looking for a venue to hold a memorial rally and im sure that when that is sorted we will all be informed.

Hi Kev - just got in from New Years Eve Celebrations.

We will be doing something in the New Year to mark Phil's passing- Admin, Rob and I have had several conversations about it - as Paul says more details to follow when its all sorted.

All the best for the new year mate - be good to see you in a field soon.

Cheers
Neil

cheers for feedback Paul & Neil ;)
