that would be a good option. They support young promising scientists and projects around the world, you can see what projects the money goes to and how much. Saw some projects in England, Scotland, Italy, Germany, USA, Netherlands. Could be a great option actually

Good call Fagey, I will go for that.

What I cannot understand is why we have had so many views and only 15 votes??!!

As a proper group, which I think we are, it would be good to have a preferred charity.

We could incorporate the butterfly (logo) into our T shirt designs.

my thought are that most people shouldnt mind one pound, but will stop at four.
best not to loose sight of who the guide is for - CA members or associate ones?
Regardless, a copyright needs to be put on the editorial content, with acknowledgments on external sources.
 
as for charities - Oxfam for me does it.  So many of the others waste money needlessly and Oxfam has one of the lowest costs of the main charities.  that or Air Ambulance as they offer a service which hopefully not, but inevitably, some of us may need at some point.

(Don't forget that each time any one of us comes back to see the updates the counter goes up...I've probably been in this thread six or seven times)

I agree, it looks to be a good international option.

Don’t think we came to any conclusion on this (sorry if I missed that we did) but on last nights Goodwood FOS program they mentioned the newly formed Richard Burns Foundation set up to help people with serious life threatening illnesses. Could be a good option for our support.

I think the Richard Burns Foundation would be a good charity for us.

But if Doris wants me to give to her charity again, well of course. Nae bother.

Now tell me why I can't find a "votation" button to vote on, please. I know it'll turn out that I am doing something wrong!!!

You didn't miss anything Ian.  I've just been somewhat remiss in getting back to you all with the results.   
 
Will start a new thread....
