i do not been to be a spoil sport in anyway nor do i wish to take away from the plight of thoes involved with helping the children.
but i have to make a point, my understanding is that this is a bulgaria ski information site ,each time i come on to the site i find more and more info about the orphanage. i want info on skiing.
it may be of use for the admin team to set up a link for the orphanage website . so that skiing information and orphanage info can be kepy seperate.
sorry in advance ...

sorry in advance to thoes that may be upset by this message and i would like to repoint out that i am not wanting to take away from ur cause
Philip you raise an interesting point. Pete and I are Admins and have no control over setting up different parts of the website, only what happens on the forum. Maybe we could suggest a link to info about the Orphange Pete?
I understand that you get frustrated at seeing the topic raised quite a bit this year, I guess it is a subject many people feel passionate about. But due to the format of this site I.e no collaspable or sticky threads it gets repeated.
Now as this is an open forum ...

Now as this is an open forum and all well behaved people are welcome, neither Pete nor I would delete such a posting(I know that is not what you are suggesting) So a bit of a catch 22 I suppose?
Thanks for bringing that up Philip and keep posting.
Think I am guilty of this... However for the last couple of days I have emailed Amanda instead and got prompt replies. . . maybe something for us to think about
I know this must be a pain for the skiers who just want info on skiing, which is more than understandable but until now these children have not had the help and this is mainly due to the people from this forum who have been so kind and offered help, such as Julie above. However, if this inconvenience to some people does mean that it helps the orphanage then surely it is worth it
Pleeeeeeeeeeeese do not delete this thread , perhaps could it be condensed instead
thank you. Carole
or perhaps those who are not interested could exercize their power of choice and not click on the orphanage threads-just like I avoid any that say 'boarders'!!
Not that I have anything against boarders - only just learned to ski @ over 50 so not brave enough yet to try!
I think this is an innovative and sensible way to contact ordinary folk who with relatively little effort can then help directly
Cheers Glynis. . .its easy to just whiz past threads you dont want to read. .. .but this is such a great opportunity for Amanda to get some help for the chidren

yes i agree it would be a real shame if it went more publicity the better. i cant believe people would even raise such an issue, i think its crazy and its christmass have these people got a heart

philipf, if you want information on skiing then ask for it. Almost every question posted on here get a reply and hopefully all questions are answered.

I will answer this question shortly and bluntly.

I started the Orphanage appeal almost a year ago on the SkiDVD site and it has progressed to this site following the TV programme that highlighted the childrens plight.
Rather than sitting at home in luxury and belly-aching about what you are reading, try putting your hand in your pocket and help the poor kids that have no life, no future and can only dream of what we have and take for granted.
I am deeply shocked that ANYBODY should find it appropriate to complain about something as worthwhile as trying to give back a little love to Bulgaria after we have gained so much from it.
Well said Pete, having been out to Pamps and met Amanda I can honestly say that this is a worthy cause and without Amanda's posts on this site I wouldn't have given the orphanage a second thought, so well done Amanda for everything you do and if you prick our consciouses just a little then that's no bad thing. Shame to see that Scrooge is alive and kicking in this day and age.
