An interesting alternative and well worthy of adding to the vote I think.

I think the vote should not be made a sticky though just a normal poll so it is more likely to be seen when people visit the shed.

As the vote comes to an end and we find out which charity will the focus of this year's donation I just wanted to say thanks for all the support so far for Betula's good idea.

There will also be a surprise present run again this year.

Full details of both will appear on the fund raising page and the surprise present page which will be setup soon.

Look out for the new topics when they appear.

Thanks to everyone again....

And the result of the vote is....

Greenfingers

Before I set up the Just Giving page I thought I would ask ...
Is there any A4A member who would like to run the Just Giving part of this as Flighty is unable to do it this year due to other commitments.

It basically involves setting up the page on Just Giving and keeping an eye on it. Also occasional updates on here on how the total is going and answering any questions members might have about the process.

You can see what Flighty did last year at http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,63334.0.html

If someone would like to do it please let me know before 10pm tonight.

If there is more than one volunteer the first person to contact me will be the choice to avoid any bad feelings.

Yay! good on yer, Mike!

Flighty · « **Reply #52 on:** October 15, 2011, 16:09:34 »

Daveyboi you're welcome!

I'll be setting the Just Giving page up early next week, after I've had a chat with Greenfingers about what we're doing.

I will then start a new thread here with details of how members can donate.

Enjoy the weekend! :)

Fantastic. Well done to everybody involved, your time and effort is much appreciated. I was on holiday until earlier today but logged in last night via my husband's phone (if I'd used mine, I'd still be trying) to try and get my vote in before it closed as I knew I'd be back home too late today! ;D O2 signal is non existent in SW Wales but thankfully OH on T-Mobile and that wasn't too bad!

Thanks again :)
