Festive Forest packages for the forces..

[LTLF]

Do you have family or friends on Ops with the Armed Forces overseas? If so here is an opportunity to send them some Forest Festive Fun to remind them that the folks at home are thinking of them at Christmas. With the kind permission and support of Nottingham Forest, a couple of fans have arranged to set up a collection point in the car park behind the Brian Clough Stand (look out for vehicles marked with RAF logos) to collect packages at the Forest vs. Doncaster game on Saturday 28th November between 10.30am and 2pm.

I know that stuff like Haribo sweets are very much welcomed by the guys at the pointy end, but I don't know anyone on operations at the moment.

Are they happy, do we know, to receive "stuff" (such as this) that can be put into anyone's box?

Might be worth dropping them a line to find out.. I'm in the same position.

Can you please let me know too. I'd like to make a contribution but know of noone to receive. ;D

I've sent them an email asking them to confirm it will be ok

I’ll answer for DeepingRed as I’m the other half of the duo….Yes we have some spare address’s and even one for the navy….but don’t tell anyone I said that?

Haribo away, chaps! Spread some Christmas sweet cheer to the guys doing the dirty work!

Just to follow on from flagmans post above

Yes, in fact that would be great. I have lots of contacts out there who can distribute packages to anyone who doesn't receive one from a friend or relative. If we get something we will make sure it gets out there. One thing we should point out is to make sure the sender puts there name on it so the person receiving it knows who sent it. Can you also put it out that if they bring your parcels BEFORE 12.00 pm then you can drive into the BC car park leave your package and drive out again. After 12.00 they'll have to walk - Forest let us know this today and they are being superbly helpful.

May be worth bearing in mind no porn or alcohol :

Haribo's are great though, but sending chocolate can end up being a tad messy because of the heat !
