For Anyone Who'd Like To Know About Ray's Funds

Recommended Posts

 

The Pink Un Message Board''s Rays

Funds Thread: -

These threads were set up by my good friend Ray Ducker (Arrdee) to

raise money for the Norwich City Academy. There’s a new thread every week

where Pink Un Pickers (PUPs) from all over the world unite to try and get a

winning line of six correct results from the weekends football fixtures. As

from August 2013 we have been raising money for the Community Sports

Foundation. Us PUPs all decided that whilst the academy has so much

investment our funds didn’t make a difference in the way they had in the

past. The football club supported us through the change and support us the

same now as when the funds went to the academy.

 

 

How It Works : -

Every Wednesday during the season I start the new weeks thread. The

''Pink Un Pickers'' (PUPs) then select their ''nap bet'' for the weekends

football fixtures that are listed on William Hill or Bet365. On the Friday

evening the nominated picker from our PUPs rota selects 6 results from the

weeks picks. I then place the bet and post the bet and the odds on here by

the Saturday morning. The PUPs rota is made up of the previous season’s top

40 in our PUPs League. The league is determined by order of correct picks.

This used to be sponsored but it''s financed by the PUPs

themselves. There is no requirement to pay to play but obviously we

need £400 per season. These donations are made to me personally or via

paypal. 

For the past three seasons an anonymous benefactor funded a match

bet where PUPs choose how to spend £10 betting on the weekend’s Norwich

game. Again suggestions are made on the thread from which the week’s

nominated picker can make a choice or go with their own.

 

 

How much have we raised? : -

Up to 14/12/15 we have raised £2038 for the academy and £2291 for

the CSF making £4199 in total. There have been plenty of near misses too

and the ''Pink Un Pickers'' have had a lot of fun trying. The money raised

for the CSF has been used to support the Norwich Downes Syndrome Team

helping to pay for fixtures, kit and match tickets.

 

 

Want To Take Part? : -

Just register with the Pink Un Message Board and post your very best

selection on the thread which is up every Wednesday during the season. Or

email me on
canaryeddie@aol.com if you''d like a bit more information. We also have a group on

Facebook called “Rays Funds for CSF”.

our team of PUPs. We all love these guys!: -

I''m proud to be a part of the PUPs, I love it. I think Nutty should be asking Santa for a new calculator for Christmas, though... [:)][quote user="nutty nigel"]

Just a suggestion Nutty now that you post both the league and the profitability table how about the women are given a table of their own to give a fairer reflection. I mean this close your eyes and stick a pin in the map approach is not accurate now is it ?  [:D]

It seems Pink Un etiquette means we have to use the term Equus Asinus.

 

Did Tilly just volunteer...

Hopefully we will have £1000 before the Newcastle game in April where I''m hoping we can have another PUPs pitch invasion :)
