04 Mar 03 - 12:44 PM (#903271) Subject: FREE BEER From: Raggytash The things you've got to do the get someone's attention, just a reminder to all that Saturday the 15th March will see the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser at The Wheel, Golcar Huddersfield. Two sessions both free and easy, as the fund raising itself will be. One session from 1.30ish till 5ish the second from 7.30ish till throwing out time. To find the Wheel take the A62 from Huddersfield after about a mile take a right turn at The Warren House and follow the signs through Milnsbridge to Golcar. At the junction Inn take the left fork the Wheel is on the right hand side after 500 yds. The venue is a little over 2 miles from the town centre. Phone 01484 460 844 more details if required |

04 Mar 03 - 01:32 PM (#903302) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Fortunato Raggytash, I hope the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser does very well. As I'm in the US, I'm unable to come. Now, then. I really must express my displeasure with the usage of that beautiful and sacred phrase, FREE BEER, to lure unsuspecting 'catters in here, no matter how noble the cause. You can't go about usely holy phrases in such a capricious and misleading fashion. It simply isn't done. You, sir, owe me one pint of good ale. I await your pleasure, Fortunato. |

04 Mar 03 - 02:01 PM (#903335) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Mrs.Duck I have it on good authority that none of the beer will be incarcerated although it will undoubtedly be behind bars. However this was not Raggytash trying to give the beer away but merely a plea for you all to turn up and pay the ransom to have it released. It was not an offer but an instruction. So lets go and free that beer!!! |
|
04 Mar 03 - 02:51 PM (#903365) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Raggytash Mrs Duck, your intereptation is extremely accurate,(honest Injun!) however not being one to upset another (unwittingly at least) should Fortunato ever venture to these shores, or should I venture to theirs I will endeavour to purchase a pint in order to assuage any misconception. Considering the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat needs all the good will it can muster in order to keep functioning. As I have ementioned in previous threads this inshore rescue boat is NOT sponsored by the RNLI who pulled out on 1977 saying that the area could be covered by the Whitby boat (10 miles to the south)All monies raised go directly to keep the service running. The Runswick Bay Rescue Boat is Registered Charity 1014544 |

04 Mar 03 - 03:56 PM (#903420) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Noreen Well, Raggy, if you buy me a pint on the 15th, I'll buy one for Fortunato when I see him in the US in October. Deal?? ;0) |

04 Mar 03 - 04:09 PM (#903435) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Lady Nancy Sorry, busy with (early) St. Pat's celebrations at the Empress, Harrogate from 2.00 p.m. Anyone who can make it is welcome. No free beer, though, just good company, good music (better if you all come) and some more than moderate singing....! Ta for the invite! Lady Nancy xx |

04 Mar 03 - 05:00 PM (#903477) Subject: RE: FREE BEER From: Beccy There's a band around here called "Free Beer and Chicken". Awful clever from a marketing point of view- but I bet being behind the bar during their gigs is a real bitch! |

04 Mar 03 - 06:39 PM (#903564) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: Raggytash Noreen thats a deal.............When you see him, turn him upside down and shake all the change out of his pockets and send it to the RBRB care of the Royal Hotel Runswick Bay .......correct address to follow...........Looking forward to seeing one and all on the 15th |

06 Mar 03 - 12:06 PM (#904843) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: Fortunato Raggytash, I'll gladly accept that pint from Noreen. However, she had better be a stout lass if she is to turn me upside down and shake me. I'm not the skinny little beggar I used to be. It would be fun having her try however... |
|
06 Mar 03 - 02:04 PM (#904967) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: Raggytash Fortunato, Consdier that pint paid for on the 15th. I'll rely on Noreen to transport it (in kind) across the pond in October. Cheers Raggytash |

06 Mar 03 - 07:49 PM (#905223) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: GUEST,Skippy Raggy you have missed the point a little bit, by others saying something on your thread it rockets to the top increasing the number of people that will see & therefore hopefully increasing the number of people that will attend your event. Wish I could help you with the thread title alteration but don't know how to. Good luck with your event, hope you raides loads. Regards Skippy |

We'll cough up quietly towards the lifeboat next time we see you. Have a great time. Love'n'hugs. Tig and Badger. |

16 Mar 03 - 03:11 AM (#911110) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: MC Fat I was impressed Nick, but then I'm easily pleased. The scattering of my ashes was indeed a unique and profoundly moving experience and I await the pictorial evidence to be posted. On a serious note it was an enjoyable couple of hours and I'm sorry I had to leave but the last train to Sheffield calleth me. |

16 Mar 03 - 07:00 AM (#911147) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: Raggytash Thanks to one and all for a great afternoon and evening, great musicians and singers and £160.00 raised for the Rescue Boat. There is a possibility that my company will match that figure. Watch out for the very moving tribute to the late great MC Fat |
|
17 Mar 03 - 07:42 AM (#911787) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: GUEST,Raggytash That figure has now increased to £170.00, I'm doing a gig tonight so the tin will be out to be rattled around the audience. My 2 heavies will be on hand to catch people by the ankles and shake them warmly till their pockets are devoid of loose change so that figure should increase. Thanks again to one and all. Photographs will follow shortly when I've figured out how to insert them .............Help on this last bit might be very useful Raggytash |

17 Mar 03 - 08:18 AM (#911802) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: GUEST,Noreen Raggy, sorry I couldn't make it- family stuff took precedence. Glad it went well.

Need any more guidance, just ask. |

21 Mar 03 - 05:11 AM (#915186) Subject: RE: FREE BEER (Runswick Bay Rescue Boat fundraiser) From: GUEST,Raggytash I asked a friend to write me a cheque for the £170.00 we raised for the Rescue Boat, I do this in order to ensure that more than one person is responsible for the monies being sent. When I collected the cheque he'd rounded it up to £200.00 What a star, cheque has now been sent to the tresurer:- Mr A Hargreaves Lowlands Farm West Barnby Nr Whitby YO21 3SD Tomorrow I'm going to have a concerted effort to get the photogrpahs pasted ..........Watch this space |
