Tom 13846 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If we do groups paying £30 or something and it falls through we should give it to the Sir Bobby Robson foundation so it's not all in vain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsweeney 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Is it based on however much each of us can afford, or a set amount per Toontastic member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34461 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Probably makes sense for people to declare a ceiling on what they would contribute. So anyone declaring a fresh interest do that, and those that have already declared do it now. This can be added alongside your name in the OP (sorry mods) and will give us an initial view of how many shares we are looking at. If we had 1.9 or 2.5 or something, we could do a second round where people declare if they want to up their amount to push us over the edge for another share. Then what SM says makes sense - that you look to group people with similar size donations and smooth out the differences so everyone has an equal share of their share. So 100 quid from me.

adios 717 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yeah 100-150 seems about right to me. Happy to go lower if that's how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 If people start adding or pming me their limits I will start on pulling this together. My only concern with the whole thing would be people saying that they want in and not paying up I know it would never be a massive amount but if people have already made a payment it could end up a right pain in the arse.

maggiespaws 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Goes without saying that anyone who wants to go lower shouldn't feel pressured to volunteer more than they can afford or want to afford! That's why I suggested the multiple shares with different buyins earlier in the thread. People can pick the one they want to go into. It will also make it easier to divide the dividends at the end of the year as everyone in the share gets the same. Looking through the thread, we could collect names for shares at the following buy in rates: £30, £50, $100, $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26828 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 If I go ahead and do this myself I'll only put £50 tops in a toontastic syndicate. If I feel I can't 'go it alone' I'll put about £150 in this syndicate and may put a further bit in the trust itself. Still thinking to be honest and would like to see an IFA when I get the chance. Someone with the technical knowledge and perhaps some cajones can add my name to the list. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't have a huge number of dropouts, the increase required in the remaining people's contribution would be pretty insignificant as a proportion of their donation, so hopefully not a huge problem. I know what you mean though, it adds extra layers of hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
