On behalf of Vince (the Webmaster) and all the long-term forum members, who got the plan up and running, I'd just like to say a big 'Thank You' to everyone that has contributed to the 'Messages For Biff' so far!
The Great Man himself is bound to appreciate the support that the forum has given and will motivate him and his family to continue the 'Saxon' lifestyle!!

Also, it has come to the forum's attention that a high amount of new members have joined recently. This is fantastic news and all the Old Crew wish to say 'Hello' to You and 'Thanks' for joining!

To everyone that has not contributed so far to the 'Sticky' for Biff - this is a thread that is to be actually printed off and passed onto Biff himself! It is a way for the forum to aknowledge Biff's recent tragic experience of losing his home and all his music memoribillia to a fire. Also, there was much trauma experienced by his family in relation to this incident, and this forum-project was essentially a method of sending our sympathies and love to all concerned.

The deadline for posting messages to Biff is April 30th midnight. So if you have not contributed yet, be sure to get it done before the weekend!
For guidance in how your message should read, take a look at the previous messages - there is a nice range to read!

The only rules are: keep it clean, short, sweet and relevant to his recent domestic situation. Try and keep the message below 70 words. Remember, this thread is to be printed out and given to Biff to read, so have a good think about what you want to write!
It would also be great if you can provide your 'Real' name and location at the bottom of your message. This will help in reminding Biff just how far and wide Saxon fans have spread over the years!

Once again, thanks for everyone that have contributed so far, and a Big Welcome to all our recent Forum Members!
Now Get Posting!!
 
You heard the man !!!
Get posting if you have not already done so!!!!

And all those who have :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:
 
Final Reminder, Folks!
Today is the final day to get your personal messages into the Forum for Biff!
All those members that have not contributed so far, please get typing and post it to the 'Sticky' located at the top of the Main Threads Section. It does not have to be a complicated message or anything, so just get tapping and let's show Biff just how many of us Saxon fans there are!!
Once again, loads of thanks to all you members that have contributed so far! Wow! We are a breed of music fan that certainly covers the entire planet!! There have been some great messages and Biff is certainly going to be touched by this show of affection from his fans!
All those who have not yet posted a message for Biff, please read the pasted info below and then get to the 'Messages For Biff' thread!! There is only a few more hours to go!

Aw, shucks, guys! You're making me blush like a girl!

But, if you remember, it was all the regular forum members that put their heads together for this project. I had no clue that it was to become such a great idea and where it was to lead!
So, I think we all need to slap each other on the backs for this one!!

All I want to say is this is proof of how constructive a forum like this can be. And it can only become like this with great forum members like you!

Anyhoo, enough soppy crap!

Vince has now been contacted and I will provide an update when I hear from him if he does not confirm things on the forum himself, OK?
I think what we need to know now is a confirmation that the list has been printed off, and then later a confirmation that the list is received by Biff.
Once we get this info, we've done our job.

Who knows - Biff may give a personal response. That would be bloody great!
 
Just providing an update -

On Vince's instruction I sent him the list as a Word Document.

Vince has kindly emailed me to say that the document has now been sent to Biff and the Saxon Management to receive.

Let's hope that the messages lift Biff's spirit (how can't they?) and express our feelings to his family.

Once again, loads of thanks to everyone that thought up this project and contributed to it! We Saxonites are a special breed, indeed!!!
 
Thanks for the update mate! is the/will the thread be locked? I'd hate to see anyone post after the deadline.

I wanna just say that this was a great thing to have done, by us all, and a great thing for me personally to be involved in...cheers guys!!

I couldn't agree more, mate! It has turned out to be quite an achievement!

Regarding 'Locking' the thread - yeah, I noticed that someone has already added to it, unaware that the deadline has passed (hence my reminders). I will contact Vince to see if he can now take it off or simply lock it for a few weeks.

The ultimate reward would be a response from the Management in regard to this project. Fingers crossed, eh?!!!
