Wouldn't it be good if........ - Page 10

I would recommend that we consider what A-B is saying. Maybe you could speak to an established Charity to see if they would take on that side of things.

Margaret Pilkington · 22-07-2005, 20:36

I think Gayle has some ideas about contacting helpful sponsors.

And I know A-B what you mean about playing devil's advocate......as it is, this thread only started out as a grain of an idea.....but if it could do some good (however small) then it would be worth the effort.

Most of us seem to be able to understand your motives Margaret and I don't think you could have explained it any better. It's not a case of trying to change the minds of those who do evil but of giving voice to those who do not support such evil who may otherwise be assumed to be in favour of something they actually deplore.

If we are hoping for all creeds to wear them and support each other then I think it would possibly be unwise to say "Not in the name of Allah" because there are those who do not worship Allah who may then feel the band/ribbon is not for them.

I'm with you all the way margaret. If it helps you could post on the stanley site as they had some wristbands produced for the ultras which they then sold on with no issue regarding the inland revenue.... just an idea. you've got 3 bought in this house anyway. You go girl!!!!

Margaret Pilkington · 23-07-2005, 12:10

good to have your support Harwood Red........Thanks.

And Willow, yes I DID think I had made the objectives of the idea fairly clear.....I'm glad you consider that I did too.

I thought my idea had died for a minute there.

Margaret Pilkington · 26-07-2005, 13:28

good on you mani.......now for a slogan........ and funding.

Gayle · 26-07-2005, 13:39

I've put in an application to Daniel Thwaites for £450 - not sure whether we stand a chance with that or not.

I can also write an application to the Co-op as our project definitely fulfills their criteria. Only problem is who to have the cheque made out to. Does Accy web have a bank account (and I'm not talking ackers here)?

It will take about six/eight weeks to get funding through if either of them are prepared to support this. We can't order anything until we have an answer from them.

Margaret Pilkington · 26-07-2005, 13:42

Gayle.... when you were asking about Accywebs constitution.....do the rules count as our constitution....?

Thankyou for your efforts Gayle.

for funding is superb....

like a huge database for funds

Gayle · 26-07-2005, 14:04

Yes, I've seen it before but lost the link to it, thanks.

Gayle · 26-07-2005, 14:06

As for rules - yes, I've had a look at them and I think they should be ok as a constitution. Only question now is bank account. Most funders don't allow things to be banked by an individual which makes sense.

BLACKBURN RAVER · 26-07-2005, 14:23

how many white people are walking round with ribbons or wristbands that show "their disaffection" towards the said atrocities ? ....why discriminate against muslims .....as gayle said on the very first page "It could work if it was something that was worn by everyone regardless of colour or race" .......
