So many people and good causes have been helped via Just Giving and then you get scum like this using it solely for commercial gain.

The guy who has arranged this, Greg Ellis, has no commercial interest in it whatsoever. I don't personally see that it will work on a number of levels, but to call him scum! That's bang out of order.

Agreed with general consensus and I for one won't be "donating" a single penny. I'll probably never in my lifetime have the privilege to step foot on the lake let alone fish it.... I'm sure if the owners/syndicate members were that worried, they'd find the means somehow...

I doubt he's losing any sleep.
As it happens my comment was more the company/people in general than any one individual, still doesn't get over the fact that this is all about a commercial company in business for personal gain.
Based on the few posts on here alone anyone with an ounce of sense can see it's not a very good idea, perhaps you can pass that on to your mate?

uh huh. Greg Ellis. Tells you all you need to know.
I've got this sorted. The answer is so obvious. Get Danny to buy the lake. Embryo will definitely fence it. Then they can fill it full of 15lb scaley bangers and run it as a noddy circus. I'm sure if mr Ellis puts his name down and stumps up the three hundred quid he can then continue his quest for the common. It's a win win. And with all the extra bait (insert latest mainline offering) going into the lake the common will almost certainly achieve record weight, just before it bloats up and dies on someones uncooked 15kg of tigers they spodded in for a weekend.
This literally can't fail. Give me problems I will give you solutions. Don't all thank me at once.

This campaign was started a couple of weeks ago and I'm surprised it's taken so long to make its way onto its own thread.
The BC and the lake it lives in are both very special but this was never going to go down well with everyone. Doing a lap of the big lake with Sharp, Stokes, Peck or Jonny Mac might actually be quite interesting imo but the fact remains that on paper they're basically asking the general public to pay for their syndi to be fenced in return for a session on the day ticket lakes that are available to all anyway.
Even if it works and they sell the places for a fortune (which I have no doubt they will having seen the types you get on FB) they can't hope to make a fraction of what it would cost to fence that place imo.
I'll give them credit for trying but agree with many below that it's cheeky as ****.
