Nigelmc   10 #1 Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I am trying to raise money to bring one of the 24 Men who went to the Moon to Sheffield.  He will be doing a lecture and meet and greet.  It would be at Sheffield Hallam University hopefully in August 2013.  The fee is high but it is achievable with some luck.  Any questions feel free to get in touch via Kickstarter  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1408235485/bring-apollo-astronaut-ken-mattingly-to-the-uk  All my best  Nigel Edited December 23, 2012 by Nigelmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nigelmc   10 #8 Posted December 23, 2012 That depends on the funding being successful, but its going well over 2600 pledged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jeffrey Shaw   83 #9 Posted December 23, 2012 Well, because its an interesting and extremely rare opportunity. But to what purpose? If it's self-financing, by audience ticket fees, why an appeal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
francypants   437 #10 Posted December 23, 2012 What an astronomical amount !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bruno   10 #11 Posted December 23, 2012 Obviously you don't give enough time for this to work as you have tried this twice before then cancelled, last month being the most recent attempt before that February. 1 month to raise that amount surely ain't long enough, especially with Xmas  What's your returns policy? Are people just pledging an amount or are they actually transferring cash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe we should get our priorities right. See link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
