Great Britains young shooters need your help

#1 Post by karen »

Well I know you're all grumpy old men and yes I know you're all as tight as Meles Meles arse but if you have recently won the lottery or are just feeling a little bit generous today then please support the following

Or if anyone wants to sponsor them in any other way I'm sure they'd be ecstatic to hear from you!

Love

Begs the question: why do they *need* crowdfunding? Aren't they entitled to some form of grant?

Karen, I just tried sending some cash but here's the problem. I tried using paypal and having it come straight from my bank account. It however wants me to enter a credit card which I am not prepared to do. Have a word with whoever and get them to set up paypal to accept money without the credit card thing and I'll happily donate.

Love

Seems that because it's not an Olympic Sport, they can't get Government money.

Nope they get no outside funding at all - they get a small grant from the NRA Overseas Teams Fund but that is all.

Not sure why Paypal didn't work for you as I did mine by Paypal no problem and didn't have to put a card number in? Weird!

If anyone would rather send a cheque I'm sure they'd be quite happy ;)

Odd - anyone else had problems? Sounds more like a Paypal/Crowdfunder problem but will mention it to them
