I was using this thread to gauge opinion before I chose the charity for the PW NORFF VS SARFFF CLAY DAY.

 

In the meantime there seems to be a bit of banter and money going on the JustGiving page already - http://www.justgiving.com/pigeonwatch .

 

Anyone who wants to just donate to the cause can do so on this page. This is NOT anything to do with paying your subs for the day but WILL be added to the total.

 

If you have been living under a rock, have a look in the "Meet up" section. There are a few auction and raffle prizes already - >HERE<.

 

Cheers

 

ME :good:

My youngest had a spell in Great Ormund St. and so I am biased.

 

He had a relatively straightforward op - at the time we were obviously at the top of the curtains.

 

Mind you, you get in there and you wander about and look around and you start counting your blessings.

Hi Blackbart

 

A good question. In fairness, I didnt even have to open it up to a vote. I did open it to a vote though - eventhough I had limited time. A decision needed to be made and the thread could have bumbled along for months.

 

Air Ambulance had some good support but there are quite a few Air Ambulances and trying to allocate it to one was going to prove tricky. I was also aware that the money from the previous ESSEX VS BUCKS shoot went to Essex Air Ambulance.

 

I looked at the comments in the thread and quite a few mentioned Great Ormond Street by name. I also used a bit of lateral thinking and added the scores for KIDS, CANCER and GREAT ORMOND STREET and went with it.

 

A few PW members that I know of have had their kids at GOSH at some point, so I think that it has struck a cord with them and their families. If you want their forum names PM me and with their permission you can contact them to find out what GOSH has done for their kids.

 

Whilst I appreciate that there are many other charities doing amazing work, it is an impossible task for me to keep all the people happy all the time.

 

Thanks & best regards

Fair enough matt,i am not critisizing your choice just wondered how you came to GOSH when there was 5 other choices before it.You were right to just pick one though as it would have went on for ages and this way something is happening straight away.
