Without going into too much detail, and not knowing whether I'm going over old ground, I would like to see the Macmillan fund made a permanent fixture.. they deserve it

Quoting JV....
Hopefully you are still with me... I want to keep that balance of fairly minimal advertising presence, support from really good traders plus a bit of site branded merchandise. I genuinely don't want financial support from forum members and friends as I am totally against the concept. A lot of people have offered it and it is something that came up again at the weekend. I genuinely appreciate the offer, it means a lot that people feel that way. However, you knew this would eventually have a point! I would like to start a charity golfgtiforum initiative. I thought I would tie it in to the forum birthday on May 6th and change the charity supported each year. For this year I have chosen to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. The idea is this:
I just feel that the Macmillan fund is SO important, and could potentially be used by anyone! as cancer has no boundaries..

I think jv said it all in that underlined section. he doesnt often change his mind.

i'd vote for a charity like help for heroes next year... they have a great range of merchandise which we could GB and all sport with pride

gets my vote :afro:

I think it should definitely be changed each year, as originally proposed by JV. If it's not changed then people may be less inclined to donate after their initial donation.

thanks for the suggestion thom but the plan is to change it each year. it's crazy the support that has been shown to the charity idea and cancer charities as a whole would always be top of my list to support but i think it is right to change each year. nothing to say we can't come back to macmillan again in future :)

Fair comment JV, and I would support any other given charity, a good discussion topic though, and I would be interested to hear any other suggestions, as already said, the Armed Forces would also get my vote.....

I think the cystic fibrosis trust would be a good one to support one year :smiley:

i think one a year would be better as said cos its more appealing to give again!!
what we have done at work is donate to charity instead of giving people you have to put up with everyday a xmas card, lol!
much better!
saves the trees too!!
