Herbie6590 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This has received a lot of traction on Twitter but for those forum members who don’t use Twitter I wanted to share this. The background is that Jen Bellamy, one of our regular podcast panel members, christened Harrison Reed the Ginger Ninja on one episode in a sort of throwaway line. When I went to Brockhall for Episode 100 of the pod, I also managed to grab a few words with Harrison Reed & shared with him the hashtag history & he said he was aware of it... Well one thing led to another...Jen designed a logo for the society...then she gauged interest in having some badges made up, proceeds to charity...then Ryan Grant spoke with Harrison & found out he had a pet charity... https://nervetumours.org.uk/what-are-nerve-tumours/what-is-nf1/support-for-adults-with-nf1 & So Jen crowdfunded the cost of manufacture, has had them made & will be selling them alongside Scott Sumner of 4000 Holes magazine fame, who will also be selling his latest edition...at the junction of Kidder St & Nuttall St tomorrow afternoon from 2pm. She is rightly excited & I for one am mightily impressed at the initiative & enthusiasm involved and the fact it raises money for a charity adopted by one of our players is just the icing on a rather splendid cake... So....please drop by tomorrow & buy one...or two...that’s basically the gist ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen has done a terrific job - apparently some of the first ones sold on Saturday were to Harrison Reed’s mum ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue n whites Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 On the 4000 holes in blackburn website they are sold out. Great effort. If you get anymore in let me know. I'd order 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Have to say, although I probably won't be buying one, that's a terrific design. Props to this Jen lady. Hopefully he appreciates it and it helps us nab him permanently! Edited December 4, 2018 by bluebruce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the premise was an initial ltd edition run to generate demand...which it did...to raise money for the charity as opposed to it being an ongoing commercial operation. i think it’s fair to say the response has been overwhelming & a number of people, me included, have said we should consider doing ones for other players in a similar vein. if we can persuade Jen then watch this space ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJRovers Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 A Benno-fistpump-themed one would be good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboy3333 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Brilliant design. I'd deffo buy a few if more were produced. Hope Jen has the time/help to design a few more for different players past and present. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
