Disappointing Mowerthon donations

Hi everyone,

I hate to say this but I'm a bit disappointed with the number of donations to the Mowerthon. There are 2,800 + members on LJN and yet there have only been 161 donations on the Just Giving page. I know that there are other donations from members to help towards Phil's costs but even so guys! 

Phil has given up two weeks of his life, away from family and business and he has personally paid for some accommodation and fuel, all for Perennial. I know that I have benefited from some great advice from LJN and from Phil himself (downloads of Risk assessments, etc) and now is the time to make a contribution towards that help and advice. Even if it's only £5 you can afford please donate. The country is looking on and I think we need to be seen to be doing the right thing.

    For those LJN members and members of the public who are unsure where and how to donate,

    here's how :

    https://www.justgiving.com/mowerthon

    What price a weekend paper, a Latte, a pack of fags, a gallon (or 4.5l) of fuel ?

    It's simple, painless and makes you feel good :-)

    LJN supports you and your business, now it's our turn to support LJN & Perennial GRBS ........

  • Thanks Gary :-)

    The thanks should go to you.

    I think you quite eloquently said what a lot of people are thinking :-)

  • It's a bit scary putting it out there, waiting to be shot down!

    I believe this lack of interest can be traced back to the massive post re deleting dormant accounts. Ljn has a very large dormant account membership. Maybe if the dormant account holders put into the pot we will get Phil to his target. Out of all the members on ljn only a small % have really pushed the boat out for mowerthon. Sad but true.
    Ready for the flack now !!
  • You won't be getting any from me (flack not cash)! 

    LJN advice has helped us start and stay in business during these harsh economic times - priceless :-)

  • Brian.....it goes back even further.......Can you remember the poor turn out for the LJN show garden at Hampton Court....three of us met in Birmingham, own time, finances, admin etc. to discuss the way forwards and issue designs.

    It felt like most members computers had all crashed at once !

    You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink

    Its not all about taking .......

  • Unfortunately, there are a large number of gardeners who use this site who would use their own urine to make fertiliser if it would save them a few pennies. I appreciate that times are hard but surely people can find it in their heart to give just a little which will help so many.

  • Apparently not Graeme, there have only been 5 donations since this morning and one of them was from Phil's parents in law !

    Embarrassing
