Scrounging Again Version 4

Post by Chris_N »

Hi All

As many of you know, I have been selling badges and programmes on Ebay to raise small amounts of money for the club. Been doing this for 23 years now....not looking for a big up at all, but it's a reality check on how quickly time flies!!! I do this as a sideline on a totally personal basis, not with any liabilities to the Club.

During this time I have always sought to minimise expenses in doing this by trying to keep stationery costs to an absolute minimum or none at all! Business has been good over the past few months and the stationery stocks are very low in a few areas. So I'm reaching out again to ask if anybody has any of the following that they would be willing to donate, here is my Mark 4 shoutout for certain items:

Padded Envelopes A5 size the priority, A4 or bigger very welcome. New or used, but please no heavily branded envelopes or envelopes with address windows cut out - must be complete envelopes please.
Card Backed Envelopes A5 and A4 very welcome. New or used, but must be complete. Amazon hard card envelopes very welcome.
A5 envelopes Need some of these but not quite as urgent as the two above. New not used please.

Also on a different note:
Since the opening of the ticket window on Match Days, our use of paper to print tickets has significantly increased. So any donations of reams of white paper, or any coloured paper (especially green or yellow), would be gratefully received.

Will be happy to receive any donations, however small, at future match days in the Club Office. It is very much appreciated and again, a massive thanks to all those of you who have donated over the years to help the Club.

Just to clarify the paper size is it A4?

Hello all, thanks to all of you for donations so far. Everything has been or is being used and recycled, and am still using them. I'm running quite low on:

Card Backed Envelopes A4 size, in particular any of the Amazon hard card envelopes are very welcome.

All donations gratefully received. Thanks as always.

Hi All

Just to advise, with the extra ticket printing as well as team sheets and other signs, we're now getting through more paper than ever before.

We've just started our last ream of white paper, so if anybody has any spare, donations will be gratefully received in the Club Office.

A massive thanks to all of you who have donated up till now.

Hi Chris just seen this. Do you still need A4 paper? If so I'll get the same ordered on Amazon as per last year.

If anyone has any spare rolls of clear packing tape, it would be gratefully received, thanks.

Also any A4 hardback envelopes, used or unused. Programmes are selling well on eBay now.
