Roll of Honour

This is the Red or Dead? web site Roll of Honour, listing the "nutters" who have already succeeded in parting us from our cash with their own special Red or Dead? fundraising events:

• Thomas Farley
10-year-old Thomas completed a sponsored 10 mile walk from his home in Christow to St. James' Park. He was greeted at the club by two of his heroes, Glenn Cronin and Reinier Moor.
The three-hour walk raised around £800 after Thomas went round his village asking for sponsorship.
Top work little fella.

• Pete Williams, aka Taff.
Shaved his curly locks for the first time since relegation.

• Adrian Hitchcox (1)
Massive balloon race which is still going on today thanks to Hurricane Ivan.
The balloon race raised a grand total of £720.

• Lance Higgins
Emptied the contents of his beer jar and raised more then is healthy for a man with a normal sized liver.

• Red Army (Junior Supporters Club)
On Saturday 18th September, before City's match against Stevenage, 23 Red Army members took part in a sponsored walk to raise money for their contribution to the 'Red or Dead' appeal.
They walked around the edge of the pitch for an hour and raised over £800 in sponsorship. Some of the members helped with a bucket collection at half-time which raised another £179.16.
With contributions coming in from members who are holding their own walks, because they could not make it to St James Park on the 18th, the Red Army will be looking at over £1,000, which is absolutely amazing.
The Red Army handed over a cheque for £500 to fulfill the Red Army's first pledge, and signed up for a second pledge, at half time of the Braintree match on 30th October.

• Pete Bishop and Mike Cooper
Leaving at sunrise and ending in deepest Gloucestershire, Pete and Mike cycled, on a tandem, to City's away match at Forest Green on Tuesday 21st September.
A fantastic effort!

• Martyn and Ian Pring
Martyn and Ian, from Ottery St. Mary, had their legs waxed at the Barnet game.

• Paul Ritchie and John Pym

• Georgina Arnold

• Jason Harcourt
Ran the Great South Run in Portsmouth on Sunday 10th October 2004, in aid of the Red or Dead? appeal.

• Adrian Gibb
Adrian, of Mark, near Highbridge, raised around £700 by completing a string of events he called an "L-athon". This consisted of playing 51 games in a 5 and a half hour pool marathon, a 50 length swim, a 59 mile bike ride from his home to St. James Park for the Carlisle game and then a penalty shoot out during half time of said match.

• Ladbrokes Bookmakers (Exeter)
Ladbrokes handed over a cheque for £505 from the race night held at the St. James' Centre on 23rd October. The profits from the evening were split 50/50 between the Red or Dead? appeal, and Vranch House School in Pinhoe.

• John Hammett
John Hammett, the Chairman of the North Devon Grecians, had his hair shaved off on 29th October at the Western Power Distribution social club in Barnstaple. He is hoping to have raised about £420.

• Peter Dunn, Andrew George and Barry May
Having attended the initial launch of the Red or Dead? campaign, Peter, Andrew and Barry, got together and decided that they would raise £1500 for the appeal by holding and attending a number of car boot sales.
They are extremely grateful to the proprietors of McCawbers in Whipton Village who allowed the use of the pub car park for a car boot sale. The guy's also set up stall, red and white flags and all, at the large car boot sale on Marsh Barton, where they say they are amazed at the number of fans of Exeter City, as well as those of Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United, that make a donation to save Exeter City.
To date Peter, Andrew and Barry have raised £976 and when they reach the £1500 will present it to Ian Huxham on the pitch.

• Darren Smith
Darren, from Dawlish, raised £460 by holding a charity dance night on 30th October. More then 100 tickets were sold for the event in Dawlish Warren when 60's tribute band, Carnaby Street, provided the entertainment.

• David Ellis
Young City supporter, David Ellis, celebrated his eighth birthday on November 7th by raising money for the 'Red or Dead?' campaign.
He swam (non-stop) fifty 25-metre lengths of his local swimming pool in Leeds (for those of you working in 'old money', that's getting on for a mile!).

• Adrian Hitchcox (2)
Adrian organised a "Devon County Knowledge" quiz, consisting of 50 cryptic questions, that all had answers that were names of places in Devon.
The quiz raised £396.

• Barry Durnford
The 53-year-old life-long City fan tried to raise £500 for the Red or Dead? campaign by being sponsored to have red and white stripes dyed into his hair.
Barry's wife was not so keen on the idea though. "It's being done using permanent dye rather than just being sprayed on, so I'll have to keep it until it grows out," Barry said.

• Scott Arnold
Scott had ECFC tattooed on his bottom in the St. James' Centre before the match against Leigh. Scott ran a campaign whereby he invited others to vote as to whether the tattoo should be ECFC, PAFC, TUFC, MUFC or CFC.

• Richard Hancock
Richard is a member of the Exeter City FC Executive Club and has raised his £500 in a number of ways including saving up a number of prizes he has won in raffles etc. He also had a little flutter on Artic Jack at 16 - 1 in the 2.45 at Aintree recently and the winnings boosted his Red or Dead? fund.

• Ganges Restaurant
The Ganges Restaurant, in Fore Street, Exeter, very kindly offered the use of their restaurant for a Red or Dead? fundraiser. A great offer from a long established Exeter restaurant! Tickets were priced at £10 each. The day was a great success, and raised £350.

• Andrew Blackmore
Andrew organised a Pro-evolution Soccer 4 tournament, on the Playstation2, which was held at the St. James' Centre on the 28th November.

• ECFC Supporters Club
The Supporters Club held an auction of a large number of interesting items, with all profits going to the Red or Dead? appeal. The auction took place at the St. James' Centre on Thursday 25th November, and raised over £2,000.

Sharon and Daz held an auction at the St. James' Centre on Friday 11th February. Auction items included a fully fitted System Six kitchen (worth £6,000), a signed and framed David Beckham Real Madrid shirt, plus many other items.
The auction was a great success and managed to raise the fantastic amount of £10,935.50.

• Ted Hansford
