For those who'd like to know more about Rays Funds

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Now if

you’re wondering what Ray''s Funds iis all about I’ll explain. Many of you

probably notice these threads and assume it''s not for you. Nothing could be

further from the truth. Us PUPs are not an exclusive club. Anyone can take

part, it''s free to join in and the only requirement is to post a selection on

each weeks thread.

 

Here is a

brief run through for anyone who may be interested :-

 

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 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 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 lunchtime. The PUPs rota is made up of the

previous seasons top 40.

 

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 on canaryeddie@aol.com.

This is also the email address for anyone who wishes to contact me.

 

Have we

won? : -

 

So far

there have been 34 winning weeks and the World Cup win in which we have won

£2038 for the academy and £129 for the CSF making £2167 in total. There have

been plenty of near misses too and the ''Pink Un Pickers'' have had a lot of fun

trying.

 

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. It''s as simple as

that.

Excellent. Thank you for making it clear that the money does not in fact, go to Russian arms dealers.

In all seriousness, I have been considering joining and may give it a shot sometime.

Hurry up then my son. Don''t let the grass grow...

There is a slogan now being used and advertised by the PGA to speed up play in the world of golf. The phrase is "While we''re young."

I believe they don''t want people spending a considerable amount of time thinking about something when you can play so much better by striking the ball when it''s in front of you. So, Cat ( or kitten ) now that the thought has crossed your mind, why don''t you strike by making a selection when Nutty posts this weeks thread in a few hours. Your selection may be the one that pushes us over the line of success this coming weekend.

Ray would be very proud of what everyone has done.

the youth Cup win last season was in part made possible by all the pinkun pickers!.

I can thoroughly recommend being a PUP. When I joined three years ago I was an intellectual weakling who regularly lost out in message-board arguments (not to mention being unable to get women to take me seriously). Now, thanks to the PUPs'' weekly course on Logical Thinking all that has changed:

Can you tell me who won it last year Nutty? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

[Gingerpele 0]

Sounds like it might be worth a go. Can''t say i''ve noticed it before ;)

[nutty nigel 7,963]

Do you know, it''s slipped my mind too Kathy. It must have been some modest chap who like to remain under the radar....

Always happy to help those with a selective memory and the clue is it is not the chap in the City shirt.
