Looking for pens to send for the troops that are deployed for the 100 anniversary of Gallipolli, I will need them by midMayMarch to make sure they get there. Lets show them we care
Lets expand this one and make it that is does not have to be pens just what you can send. If we keep the parcels under 2kg postage is free to them
I will be happy to make more pens or something by May.
I will make a note of this and see how I go in the next few months.
Thanks Christos
I'm keen to contribute as well. Do you guys collate the pens prior to sending them o/s?
Cheers
Steve
ok
If you want me to be another drop off point let me know
Yes they normally come to me but if it easier for you then they can be sent to Nick I will send him the address they are to go to. Many thanks Nick, let me know and I will forwad the address to you
