Pete, I am sure "Her indoors" may be able to assist you on this one. There was (and could still be) an account you could open called a "Treasurers Account" you needed a minimum of two signataries and did not have to be registered as a charity. Cheers. F.V.
Firstly, why are you commenting on how many posts I have made? Does that make a difference to the validity of my comments? FYI I have been using this site for a couple of years now - but I find that browsing before asking usually answers my questions...I always thought that was how it worked. I have indeed seen many of you 7962 posts which is why I feel justified in my initial comments - you DO condescend to people on a regular basis, ...
PP in response to your post to me - two things...

I have indeed seen many of you 7962 posts which is why I feel justified in my initial comments - you DO condescend to people on a regular basis, and I have just chosen now to voice MY opinion on that fact.
Secondly, why do you feel the need to point out that one of my posts was about where to catch a football game? Can I not enjoy skiing AND football? surely you are not judging me on the fact that I asked a bonafide question - again, is that not what these boards are for?
I am off now to party with some REAL friends enjoy your cyber new year!
Oh and I forgot to mention....please do not idicate that I have SAID that I am going to donate to the charity and have not yet done so - as you quite clearly know I have never indicated anything of the sort...
BTW I am skiqueen at work and Arsenalange at home - so I am the same person - but I am sure you worked that out for yourself
Sorry was meant to say, thanks for that Julie, looks like you guys are doing some great work. It's great there are people like yourself out these getting involved in these projects. Is it worth seeing if they will put a box in the Markony for collections. Not sure what anyones relationship is with the owner, but i am sure Pete would know some people.
Well, Philipf, maybe the site should have a seperate link for moaning comments, you're not happy about long threads, you certainly made a good job of this one.
Cant see any ski related comments on here??

I work for the halifax and we have a treasurers account but unfortunately the interest rate is crap, still every little bit helps. I was at the orphanage on Monday (I dont do skiing because of an accident I had while in Pamps 2yrs ago which put me off, maybe I shouldn't be on the forum then) and to see the childrens faces light up when I gave the stuff out to them made my day. At least I can say I have done my bit.

Woah good grief guys calm down dears its only a forum!!!!
You know it really ticks me off when someone makes a polite comment and suggestion and then gets hung drawn and quartered for it. Totally over the top and nasty childish comments, from all sides unbloody believable.
