Fat Jockey - Patrons and Donations

[Istabraq]

Fantastic response so far Gents, delighted you value the forum in the same way I do, well done all of you...

I’m happy to make a contribution, I’ve found the forum a big help and interest since I’ve participated. I’m either to sign up to a monthly contribution or a one of annual donation. Shall we agree a nominal amount? March 20th will be a good time to collect!!

Does it give that option on Patreon The King Pimm ?

It looks like it's monthly from the bit I can see but having both options would be great, especially for that festival week

Just to clarify, any surplus will go towards the 1500 OV paid for the upgrade - not towards a hot tub for me.

It'd then go towards next year, and so on, to secure this place for as long as possible.



Potentially a donation to the Injured Jockey Fund as well however can't commit to that yet... but it is my plan to give back too.

If we are in a position at some point to make donations externally could we consider something for our warrior 4 legged friends that risk their lives daily for our entertainment.

That is a great suggestion, one I’m sure ‘The Guvnor’ will happily consider....

I love the idea of supporting racing charities.....main ones I try to support when I can are Injured Jockeys and Racing Welfare.....not sure if other people know of other good ones?

One other thought might be poss.....I belong to a couple of racing clubs.....and one in particular manages to get a lot of stables visits by supporting racing charities (plus a nice tip for stable staff)

Not sure how they do it.....but seem to get into most.....have been to Nicholls, Tizzard, Skelton and others

If we ever get past this horrid virus, then happy to try to find out more.....tho prob few people with much better contacts

Given we are looking at a syndicate, prob quite a few would welcome us

Either way, we should def give back

I’m keen to help but it looks like Patreon only accepts a monthly subscription.
Would an annual option be better?

Do you get all the monthly amount or is there a service fee that will reduce what you receive?
I guess if their cut is a % it makes no difference but if it’s a set amount it will.

I’m a officially a Patron!!! I hope I don’t become as sad and pathetic as ‘the Masters Patrons’ of Augusta or as a minimum don’t start dressing like them!!

I don't know if that's an option we can set (wasn't me that set it up)

I assume you can pay for a month and then just cancel if you wanted to just pay a one off amount?

Or maybe it's an option as you go through to switch from monthly?

Does anyone know, sounds like a few people have some experience with it? @TigerRollIIIII robith

Thank you The King Pimm
So kind. You're a legend.

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

Will donate payday, love this site! Don’t contribute loads but love reading everyone’s views and thoughts amongst other things! To note I’d be happy to pay annual subscription too, keep site free, forum for members. Only a thought

Mostly places ive used it its a regular contribution (as it tends to be ongoing content producers) but at different tiers of cash with different offers for it.

For eg a QPR site I read has it with a couple of levels and then at a tenner you get a subscription to a fanzine too.

So one off youd need to pay once and cancel.

But good to have different price tiers and maybe some offers like putting it by pppls avatars or letting them be Yankee captains etc
