Hi all,
My astronomical society, Clydesdale Astronomical Society, have been raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support in Scotland, in memory of John Braithwaite, Stuart's dad, who was our good friend and hon president. John was the kindest soul on the planet, and we all miss him at CAS. He was a good friend to me as well. We presented Macmillan with a cheque for £1750 on Monday 12th, but hopefully with fans bidding on here for the Mogwai goodies we can raise even more money for this worthwhile charity that was close to John's heart.
Stuart has said he'll donate 2 guest gig tickets (includes meeting the band) for the August gig at the East end social event on the 30th August, a signed poster and vinyl test pressing of Come on for Young.
Stewart Henderson of eastendsocial has kindly said he'll give 2 pairs of tickets for the same event, but to include the Sunday as well, along with a box set of Come on die young.
we have a justgiving page that is being kept open till the end of the year. You can donate through this at www.justgiving.com/John-Braithwaite. Or by texting £2, £5 or £10 to MOON66, at 70070.
I don't have the items in my possession, and I am awaiting Stewart Henderson getting back to me to see how the winning bidder will claim the items. I presume Stuart Braithwaite will forward the items he is donating, but will get back when I hear from him on Facebook chat.
I dont have have a specific auction site for this auction, and would be grateful if it could take place on here. I am a registered user so would be able to pop in and out on a regular basis to check bids. I don't know how much these items should go for, but true fans will know the value and that is way on Stuart's recommendation I decided to place the item list on here.
All winning bidders should give the money directly to our just giving page. Rob is going to post this in the community forums as well, as far as I understand. Please bid what ever you feel you can afford, and good luck to one and all in the bidding.
Very Best Wishes
Alice-Amanda Kay Meeting Secretary/publicity officer for CAS)
p.s. I love the album rave tapes, as well as Les Revenants.
please
