Being the foolhardy guy that I am I have decided that I am prepared to have my mane lopped in the cause of the reinstatement of Welling United’s floodlighting.

It isn’t going to be cheap to see me scalped with the target being £1,000 but £500 will see my mane down to half an inch and £250 or less leave me with a minimum of an inch all over.

Time is of the essence and any pledges will have to be made by 28 February 2007.

It is up to you how far the clippers go and therefore how much discomfort I suffer!

A full list of sponsors together with the amount I manage to raise will appear on the Welling United Fans Forum after the event.

I'm checking out paypal but until I see if that is feasible any pledges can be made by posting on this thread, seeing me at the ground me at the ground or if you know a few people who might contribute I will provide a form.

My intentions were announced at the U18 match this morning and will be opening a bank account with the £70 already raised.

Hi Bruno

I had a chat with the lads after today's game and we will pledge £150.00 from the Under 18's team. I also have many volunteers who would like to have first chop!!!

That money is in addition to the funds that a few of us gave you today! Well done mate and a great idea!!

Cheers

Ken - Under 18 Manager!!!

Hi Bruno,

Stick a tenner down from me, can't really afford it with my first baby due next week but I don't think the wife reads this

As I don't and many others probably don't know you, would be good to see a pic of you so we know what you're sacrificing!

I had my head shaved about 10 years ago in a pub for Children in Need, and haven't let it grow back since - you might just like it!

Cheers
Graham

Bruno, what a great idea, i'd like to pledge £10, although will it be the same Bruno afterward? look what happened to Samson!
Just an suggestion. I would love to double my pledge if you had a Beehive hairdo first! Just imagine, Beehive, beard, pipe........reminds me of my Mum!!!

After all the grief you gave the reserve team a couple of seasons ago, which i hasten to add went onto win promotion the following season under Sevenoaks, I will gladly donate a tenner to your cause.

After you have done the hair perhaps you could start another one up for the beard. Just a idea old boy. lol

Good luck

Many thanks
T

ps: If you can make the E&B game this Sunday and I will sort you out then with the dosh.

Is that Tony Fanning?

I will be in Beckenham till 1.30ish (WU v Fisher U18) and so I won't get to see much of the E&B match but all being well I will be in the E&B bar post match.

Sure is Bruno. Come and see me in the bar after the game. Might be able to get some more sponsorship out of the players for you.

Thanks

Spoke to Barrie very briefly about it talking place at PVR.  Have to see him, hopefully tomorrow, to see if Saturday is possible.

Great response from U18's but little from elsewhere.  Only £330 raised.  Maybe a bucket collection on the day might swell the coffers.

£190 pledged (U18's, Geejay, Josh, Sidcup Graham and Nics)

£120 received  (Ken Brooke, Josh, John S, Steve E, Tony Fanning, Denise W, Chris and Dave E)

Spoke to Barrie today and the deed will be carried out at PVR at some point on the 17th March when we are at home to Eastleigh.

Well done Bruno on your efforts to add to the floodlight fund - certainly a big sacrifice on your part, but I think the new shaved look suits you!

Bruno,

This is dedication to the cause if ever I've seen it. Great effort well done.

By the way when was the last time the mane was trimmed before this?

Must be 3 or 4 years ago whern I last visited the barbers.

I was apprehensive about it but now its done it doesn't look half as bad as I thought it would so it may well be the clippers for me from now on.

 The lucky lady was my daughter and no she didn't get a tip but she did get her wish to see the end of the pony tail which she always hated.
