IMPORTANT MESSAGE RE: THE MN CHRISTMAS APPEAL

74 replies

SaintGeorge · 01/10/2008 23:44

This morning I officially launched the MN Christmas Appeal 2008.

In view of recent events, I am now officially putting it on hold.

I have some concerns which I want to think through and possibly discuss with a few people. Those discussions will happen off the board.

And before anyone thinks to shouts 'clique' I am going to keep those discussions off the board because of things like tact and diplomacy, not because I am getting together with a bunch of my mates or trying to keep secrets.

I am sure most people can appreciate that there is a certain level of responsibility involved in running the appeal and right now I want to make sure I am truly happy to carry on, before it is too late.

TIA for your patience and understanding [hopeful emoticon]

Sensible precaution StG.

What the hell happened?

I will don armour for the delivery.

Oh, and I want two skis, not just one.
I ain't snowboarding to the South POle.

I think that's a wise and measured move StGeorge.

But i still want my skis.

Have mailed you

I think this is the best and most sensible thing you can do under these circumstances, StG. Have been following tonight vacillating between bemused and aghast.

Hello Marina

Marina · 01/10/2008 23:59

Agree LL. StG, I think you are absolutely justified to be rethinking the project after the deletefest here tonight.
I hope it can still go ahead.

Not going to slate you, sensible decision under the circs, StG

I thought I might get a slating for pulling the plug so soon.

Thank you all for understanding.

I am not wimping out (yet).

I just need to consider a few options.

No problem StG

SuperBunny · 01/10/2008 23:50

Yes, I agree. But what a shame

Thank you for taking the time to do this. The christmas appeal is one of the lovely things about MN.

FAQ · 01/10/2008 23:49

agree with the others.

Only option you have really atm.

If you do decided to continue send me a message on FB as I don't have the stickies (chose not to have them as they confuse me ) and I'd like to try and donate this year (said that the last 3yrs and never did )

Fimbo · 01/10/2008 23:47

Very wise STG.

ComeOVeneer · 01/10/2008 23:46

I agree sounds like a very sensible move.
