As a fundraiser for our Scout Group to help raise funds towards the rebuilding of our headquarters, I have contacted many people, and had some positive replies.
<<List deleted due to significant increase in length, and lack of time to keep updated. Will list replies as and when they come>>

Thanks, we need all the help we can get.
I have updated the list above, and put the positive replies in red with what I have received from each. There are more names to add to the sent lists, but I can't think who they are at the moment

Will post updates as and when I get them, but at the moment I am starting to get new items through every other day.
I have one major success that I have confirmation on, but I am waiting for something hard to come through from it. To say it is a big success would, for me be an under-statement. Really excited about this one.

Got home from work yesterday, to find a massive box in the living room, full of books from a publisher. There were about 30 in the box for the auction, and 5 or 6 of them were signed by the author.
Nice result, just not sure which of the authors addresses they came from

Great success damochil {thumb2}
I too have collected for the Scouts recently. I have been acting for Gilwell Park /HQ as the Media Manager for 2007, which has kept me very busy!! I also managed the Media Centre for the Sunrise/Replica camps/PL Camps on Brownsea Island, and at Hylands for the Jamboree
Autograph collecting is a great way to support Scouting! If you want any help please let me know
Best of luck!
