sorry folks its mid week i am just trying to offer something at lunchtime thats not like other socials to cater for those who are available a saturday lunch means shoppers using up the space and evenings rules out inexpensive lunches ,of course i would raise more at a weekend or in an evening but i hope those who can will |

We could make Friday 15th and could I suggest a PayPal donation for anyone who'd like to contribute but can't make it ... I've worked with capability Scotland and seen people there enjoy competing in competitions for lawn bowls and boules ... Such a good cause xx
Just a thought |

thank you so much for your support and your pay pal suggestion ,i had thought about that but i was not too sure how to set it up in favour of the cause as ,,i wanted to keep the integrity of the cause pure and by offering even my own pay pal information could put folk off ,,,but if those with the experiance of doing this suggest its the way to do it then i shall look at setting it up thanks again |

update....i have just checked out the just giving site but as a sports club they have not applied for charity status as apparently has something to do with rates or council tax exemption all double dutch to me as for pal talk they suggested i provide my e mail address to anyone wishing to donate and they will hold all monies in a suspense account until the treasurer wishes to collect in his bank and his bank access the suspense account and they finally get the cash and i will provide evidence of club getting every pound donated via e mail i will scan receipt in and e mail it to anyone on request to retain my integrity and to provide proof your cash is going to those who need it most thank you |
