About Donations to our Charity Fundraising Events
We have been obliged to change the way we handle donations and administration for our Charity Fundraising Simultaneous Pairs. This has come about because of changes in banking procedures. So in the hope of simplifying it all, and also keeping it transparant, we are going down the "JustGiving" route.
We suggest that £3 per person would be a reasonable donation for the Charity.
However, we do have to charge an admin fee, and this will be 90p per player inclusive of VAT and an invoice will be sent to each participating club at the end of the event, this is separate from any donations made to the Charity by either the clubs or the individuals taking part.
