The Poll will run for 10 days this time to allow those who are away time to vote!

An occasional comment to bump this up the front page now and again will be appreciated



Betula's original good idea along with Flighty raised money for Thrive three years ago in which we raised just over £200.

In 2010 we voted between 3 charities which were

Thrive                  http://www.thrive.org.uk/
Perennial              http://www.perennial.org.uk/
Gardening Leave   http://www.gardeningleave.org/

and Gardening Leave just won the poll by 3 votes and we managed to raise £630

Last Year we voted between

Greenfingers         http://www.greenfingerscharity.org.uk
Thrive                 
Perennial             
Gardening Leave   

And Greenfingers won by 12 votes and we raised a grand total of £669-50 which was an amazing total and a big thanks to everyone again.

I've "stickied" this thread for the duration of the poll, so it should be right at the top of the page.

I hope some of the newer members will find this and join in even if they can not afford to make a donation this year.

Really?  So I can vote for one, see the result so far and then change my vote tactically?  Hmmm...not sure that's what I expected and was that the case in the past?

Yes you could change your vote last year as well.
I thought it would be fairer if one could change their vote if more information about the charities had been found (by comments for example) or people wishing to go with the flow of how others had voted.

Like G I'm finding it hard to make up my mind, but as Thrive and Greenfingers were chosen in previous years I will vote for one of the other two.   :coffee2:
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
