Thanks for the support Alan :facepalm:. Anyway have a good Easter I am off.

Maybe one day you will have to run an event where if one tiny thing goes wrong that evening the whole night will be ruined and you will end up looking like an idiot. There are numerous things to arrange and I have enough to do and leave it to the players to fund raise. I am not their boss. I am...

How do you know. I made my comments about the fund raising this year 4 weeks ago when I said to have individual pages or did you selectively forget that. How do you know what I am trying to do now ?. And we have raised thousands from sponsorship over the last 8 games, around £ 8000 I would think...

Thanks, I am the chairman of the REMF 9 ( at the moment) and this thread has hugely upset me. I will try not to take it personally but if the REMF is being slated I do take it personally I am afraid. I am just astounded that people cannot look at the list of achievements we have done together...

Alan I said a meeting after REMF 9 in May. I will arrange it and invite the Eatons. We can decide the way forward and people can decide if they still want to be involved. In the meantime please get behind the team and REMF 9 and thanks for all you are doing Al. And Bozza I am sorry you think...

I accept that that is why I am arranging an open meeting in May.

Anyway clearly we do need to have this meeting about the future team and how it is selected. Everyone can have their say and it can move on. There is no point is arguing about it on here anymore. If people feel strongly I hope they will attend. In the meantime please get behind the REMF 9 team...

To a certain extent yes. The spirit of the REMF is important and the history of the games. If people don't want that in the future and want a cynical fund based on how much money people raise / pay to play as the only rationale for selection I think the whole spirit of the fund will be lost...

Having slept on it. My final thoughts on the situation are certain people are not happy about the way the team is selected and how they raise money for the game. It is important that the team raise money and make an effort to do it. I have supported people on here as they are important to REMF...

So, so far for REMF 9 we have £ 500 Wardy book/Savannagh raffle, £ 540 team sponsor ships, £ 375 Brett's auction = £ 1415.

Superb work as always Brett :clap2:

I have never said that Bozza. Of course the prime objective is how to raise the most money on the night but need to keep in mind the spirit of the REMF and its history. I will do what the concencus wants but bear in mind I just try and co ordinate it, it is the Eatons charity and I and NSC and...

Parden me Bozza but Richie had to endure at least half a dozen comments from people taking the piss. I would not blame him if he said I can't be bothered to do all the things I said I would for REMF 9 but I know he is bigger than that.

I disagree in that I do not think people are not trying to raise as much as they can. Sure we can improve things. Every charity can be better I guess but its a shame that we are all having a go and not seeing what the fund has done imo. I do know a lot of people who have done a lot for REMF have...

I disagree but if that what people think thats fine. We need to arrange a meeting after REMF 9 and plan for REMF 10 and the way forward particularly re team selection and sponsorships as that is the only thing that seems to be the focus. We can then all consider our positions. All I have done on...

Whilst people are sniping at Richie he is out there arranging the programme, publicising the event and offering to hand out flyers as well as raising money for the fund. Think about it.

Do you honestly think everyone involved does not have the primary objective of raising money. A serious point.

I have NEVER said the primary objective is not to raise money and have reiterated my view numerous times on this thread. I have just offered support for people who have worked damn hard for the REMF for a long time. HOW MANY MORE TIMES to I have to say the players sponsorship IS NOT the only way...

Well personally I think we have done fantastically well over the 9 years and raised a huge amount of money and a record year ( apart from 2001 ) last year during the worst recession in history. To now be accused of not raising as much as we could is hard to take. That why I re posted the list of...
