Well done mate.

How come you get £25 gift aid added by the way compared to the others?

£100 added as well by myself..see VIP days thread..gift aid also included of £25 pounds..well done spire12345...makes our online arguments well worthwhile.
Apologies but was done by the Ashgate "just giving" link rather than Howards.

It's a percentage I think

It is if you're a tax payer. Didn't realise there was different percentages.

Is Howard doing something?

Anytime my friend , I have a standing order that goes to the ashgate of 25 a month, but you would prob call me a lier

I donate monthly to Dr Barnardos, have done for years...glad Ashgate have benefited..B****Y hell my gift aid is £28 pounds!!!

great cause and all, but is charity really the place for a bit of one upmanship? Are you 2 the new Smashy and Nicey?

hope plenty of people donate but some may not be able to

also if everyone else like me has loads of friends that are always after sponsorship for something or other then they may feel they donate enough to charity! Drag race, race for life, london marathon, midnight walk etc etc

good luck Howard and hope you reach your target, sorry to be a bit negative on a thread set up for a good cause

What is gift aid??

Something to do with the goverment I think, and tax deductable...pm on its way with conformation from "just giving" for the donation.

And why not..a very worthwhile charity has benefited due to message board "one upmanship"..at least we didnt hide behind the keyboard warrior thing and stood up to be counted...and I`ll hold my hands up I didnt think Spire12345 would..so rather than ridicule cartman..give a tenner

Like I told you Mark, I'm a man of my word.

Hopefully you`ve recieved my pm enclosing proof of my donation, and happy to hold my hands up when proved wrong.

again, not really ridiculing, just not sure this is the right way to go about things

charity is a personal thing and people should give what they want to whatever cause they want, nobody should tell anyone what to give

however, publicising the event is fine and for that I commend you and hope that people see this thread and decide to contribute, might put a thread up in a minute publicising another event......

Difference is, this is supported by the football club with Howard and co

again, why should we apply differences in raising money for charity, give to what you want, it's all for good causes

<see other thread I've posted, also supported by the Club - well they've donated tickets for the auction anyway>
