Your not nearly as surprised as I am.

tonight folks, lets all get down there and pledge towards the club,

A shame that the new shirt won't be previewed, obvioulsy the RFL are focusing on its dead rubbers in Wrexham and London...

Just returned home from tonight's pledge night & what a surprisigly good night it turned ou to be. All credit to the organisers of the idea and the evening itself, I won't name anyone for fear of leaving anyone out & run the risk of offending them !
Bloemy played another blinder for Halifax RLFC tonight, anchoring the event & interviewing various characters including Jonnie Lawless, Gonzo, Blacky & Michael Steele to gauge their opinions of what the U/23's means to the future of our club and it's bid for a SL franchise.
He also played his part in his role as auctioneer, flogging lots of RL & Halifax RL, and bottles of wines, advocaats etc etc in getting the kitty opened up in the aim of raising the £25K that the Trust hope to give to the club.
I thought it was a decent turnout on a crappy weather, middle of the week evening, so well done to everyone involved & all those who attended. There's a real buzz about our club again.

the takings was £1566 for tonight, well done everbody,

Excellent Colin to hear. Still we all have a lot to do and I am sure the organisers would ask as many people as possible to turn up at the next event. Well done all.

You got a mention with your donation mate, good work.

Will try and see what else I can find and send across at a later date

do belive your things are still to sell on ebay,more chance of getting alot of money for them

Yes Linda said and am happy with that. I can help promote them if you or somebody can provide a link as know a few people around the world who would be very interested. Congrats to all for the hard work . The rest lets keep supporting these events anyway we can.

Hope it went well, sorry I could not be there but had an important event today in York.
Hope fans get involved as this is a great way for us to back our club, remember we have no Des Johnson, Steve O'Connor and the like to throw money when we need it, we just have hard working people to raise the money in the pot when we need it. Its hard graft and the Board need our support to keep Fax at the top.

I would just like to thank all of you that came to the pledge event tonight and also people who have made pledges that could not be there. I was expecting the auction and other things to make less than half what it did actually make on the night I was astounded. I have not as yet heard the official figure but I do know it was around £1,500 but more importantly the pledges for the sponsored walk and other events were equally as impressive and in real terms tonights contribution to Faxbuilder was indeed massive.
I would also like to thank Jamie Bloem , Johnny Lawless, Martin Gonzales , Ben Black , Frank Watene and Josh Barlow who turned up in support and Oli Marnes who sent messages of apologies as he was stuck in Goole. He has promised to do something at a later date and we will get him along at another event.
This is just the start, if we all spread the word and build up the momentum I reckon we will by the end of the season have the money raised.So thanks again Fax fans and keep watching this board for further news.

A night to be proud of tonight and a superb start to the Faxbuilder! Bloemy was a star this evening! We secured new trust members, interest in the sponsored walk and some individuals really dug deep into their pockets tonight all to help us raise our magic 25k figure!! So much more planned too!! Great success this evening, giving us a superb platform to build from!!

WRONG! Maybe get your idea/facts straight before making assumptions...

On a positive note... well done everyone donating on pledge night. Top job Linda!

One of the Pledge items last night did not get sold due to short notice as it is this Sat night were 4x £21 tickets for the Royal Albert Halls` Classical Spectacular it is a great pity as it looks like a good show . Anybody interested please pm me.
