It's quite simple. I'm going to make jars of marmalade and you, the good supporters of Barrow AFC and the Bluebirds Trust will, I hope, buy them. I'll pay for all the raw materials so the Trust will get the full sale price towards the Play Your part campaign. Originally, my idea was just to knock off a few jars and bring them down this Saturday. But I've changed my mind, I'm going to go for it: 100 JARS OF MARMALADE to be made and brought down for my next visit (after this Saturday), the Chesterfield game on Easter Monday. All I need from you is a commitment to buy them. If you don't like marmalade on your morning toast buy a jar for your granny who does!

Here's the details: Seville Orange marmalade in a 12oz jar with a smart gingham lid. Price £4 min per jar (or whatever you'd like to chuck in above that). Pay on collection from the Trust shop on Easter Monday. Yes, I know that's more than you pay in your Asdas and Lidls but, hey, we're talking 'artisan' stuff here

The image (if it works) shows an example from a batch I made yesterday but I'll make sure they are appropriately labelled. Modesty prevents etc., but friends and neighbours tell me it's pretty tasty.

I have always felt useless when I read about the volunteers helping out around HS because I live too far away just to nip down so I wanted to find some other way of contributing a bit more. If we do this it could raise over £400 for Play Your Part so please commit below (or send me a pm) stating how many jars you'd like.

Cheers,
Nigel

P.S. the Bluebirds Trust are aware and have given the green light to this.

OK, so why isn't the image showing? It's in Google Photos and I pasted the link it provided within the img thingy.

That comes up '500 Internal Server error', Rich.

Sorry Nigel I wasnt clear. Use [url] instead of [img]

My link above was supposed to be an example dummy link

I've edited your post that means people should be able to click to see photo.

I'll see if Ste can get it to show the picture directly in your post.

I'll take 2 jars off your hands Nigel

I’ll have 5 @ £5 each!

Are you Paddington bear in real life Nigel?

Nigel has some marmalade in the bluebirds shop
Herbie is the singer in their band
Nigel says to Herbie, man , I like your voice
And Herbie says this as he shakes him by the hand

Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on

Yep one for me for a fiver bud

Once you've enjoyed the marmalade why not fill the jar with spare change, foreign coins and notes then return it back to the Trust Shop next season!

I have never read nor seen Paddington Bear so I don't know (deprived childhood)

Well, thanks all, its got off to a great start with more requested by private message so, in the words of Breaking Bad's Walter White, "Let's cook".

I’ll have one for £10. John Kendall

I'll have 4 fella @ £5 each, (Russ Rawley) I'll collect and pay in the Trust shop

I've got orders for 17, so far, and many have offered to pitch in more than the requested £4. The jars are arriving tomorrow so I'll be doing a first batch and I'll put up some pics. People will then be able to see how the finished, labelled article looks. We can then do more of a push. I'll be putting it on my Facebook page and selling it to friends and neighbours.

That is good it all counts to us geting the Total up

Delivery of jars delayed but now here. 2 batches being made today so I'll put up the pics.

Made the first 'hard cash' sale on Saturday - thanks penrithblue (even if it was a Scottish note he wanted rid of )
