Hi Uncle Tone

What a great response!

Has the fund closed now? There doesn't seem to have been any activity over the last few days.

If so what was the final total?

Regards
K/van

There were two contributions so far today, and it's at £12,231.
(I got that by going to the page.)

It's still trickling in, a couple of donations a day.

What a response!

Now over £13,000 from 510 donors with just three days to go!

Fantastic response, and the good will messages on the site are well worth a read.

I'd be there like a shot but just too far! However, I'll be there in spirit and wishing Dick G the very best wishes for the future.

A few years ago, a mate gave me a download of one of his albums I didn't have.

I bought the CD today. Conscience sated and supporting a professional artiste appropriately.

The CrowdFunding page is now closed.

The final figure is £14,405 raised by 558 supporters. That is £13,405 more than I initially hoped for!

What an amazing response. Thank you everyone who donated so generously!

The money, less JustGiving's 5%, will be transferred to Dick within ten working days.

I hope he recovers soon and well.

He is an international treasure.

Found the fund after it closed, but thank you to everyone involved, I'm sure it will ease Dick's mind not to have to worry about providing for his family while he recovers.

£13,229.38 has just been transferred from my account to Dick Gaughan's agent's clients' account.

I have just sent the following email to JustGiving:


Dear JustGiving

£13,229.38 has just been transferred to my account on behalf of Dick Gaughan.

JustGiving are supposed to just take 5%.

5% of £14,405 is £720.25

£14,405-£13,229.38 is £1,175.62

It seems that £1.175.62-£720.25 : £455.37 is missing

Your terms of reference mention transfer costs being additional. How do you justify over £450 for this over and above your 5%?

There are a lot of puzzled donors watching this.

yours sincerely

I have just transferred a further £275.37 into the account for Dick, this being the balance that JustGiving paid me after I queried their figures. I guess that'll be the total now then, less their costs. It does seem that they have charged £180 for card handling over and above their 5%. which works out at about 32p per card for 558 donors.

I have asked for an update on Dick's condition. If I get any news I will pass it on here.

He played a couple of numbers at Paisley last week at the Spree. ( I wasn't there but a friend was)

Message from John Barrow, Dick Gaughan's agent and friend:

I've already passed your initial payment to Dick - received with very grateful thanks.
It's bound to make an enormous difference!
Whether the Nov 27 gig will do ditto remains to be seen (so far 512 seats sold @ £25; 1915 capacity). :)

I'll let other donations accumulate with your additional recent payment and then bung the lot down the road for DG.
It does seem like a high credit card levy @ 32p per payment although if it's 32p on a £50 donation, for example, that's only 0.64%.

No new DG news yet.
MRI scan about 11 days back and results expected y'day I believe, but I've not heard yet.

Please see the topic: Benefit Gig for Dick Gaughan.

Once again many many thanks to all those who donated. As above Dick is very grateful.

Uncle Tone
