"All Profits to NtL ?"

I hate all this politics stuff, but a word of warning.....

A charity recently received a complaint, not with regard to anything involving our Club I hasten to add, from someone who had donated a substantial amount of money at an event.

They were told any money they donated was raised on behalf that of the Charity but after the event found that some of the money raised was used for a different purpose. What it was used for is irrelevant, however the organisation is accused of raising money under false pretences and if the matter is taken to court they will quite possibly be found guilty of deception and/or fraud as the organisation's posters, banners and verbal sales pitch were quite specific.

So beware, if you wish to raise money to buy some kit; timing lights or whatever, you must state quite clearly that that is what you intend to do with the money, adding after “with any profits donated to So-and-so-charity”. You must not use the charity name in the first instance to ‘open wallets’.

Raising money for So-and-so-charity and then using some of it to buy your timing lights or for any other purpose is fraudulently depriving that charity of the money generously given to it in their name. Having raised it in their name, it is their money NOT yours.

Likewise, if you state “all profits” or “profits” or “proceeds” it must be that, not less an amount for luck, or your time, or to keep the account open, or for any other notional reason. The costs can only relate to the ‘demonstrable’ costs incurred as a result of the fundraising exercise itself.

“Just completed the bicycle trip. As planned I arrived home last Friday after cycling a total of 4300 km ( yes, I know, some 1100 km more than planned at first but who cares). With plenty of sunshine most of the days (with the occasional shower), but managed to do the whole trip without wearing a jacket which is quite unique. What more can one ask for, and with temperatures sometimes over 35 degrees it got a bit hot on some days.
Plenty of water up to 4 litres a day to keep the machine in motion,

All goals have been reached: via Germany (Remagen, Bingen, Heidelberg, Tübingen, to Friedichshafen), then in Austria via the Silvretta Alpenstrasse to Italy via the Reschenpas, Trento, Verona, Ferrara to Venice, and two days later back via Bassano, Trento, Reschenpass (and not the Brenner I had as option), Arlberg and then via Liechenstein to Switzerland via the Oberalp pas and the Furka passing Martigny to Genève and back to Lausanne via Neufchatel and Bieler See to Brugg (family visit), and then Basel to France, Selestat (Col du Donon) in the direction of Metz, Vianden (Our valley) to Eupen, via Plateau of Margraten to Maastricht along the Meuze river to Venlo, Nijmegen and then via the Betuwe to Utrecht.

Number of countries : 8 (Germany, Austria, Italy, Liechenstein, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium)

Punctures : NONE

Dirt roads : 250 km

Total distance : 4300 km

Shortest distance per day : 81 km

Longest distance per day : 175 km

Weight lost : 10 kilos ;)

A very special holiday, and a totally different experience than the one to Santiago in 2004. And it remains a strange phenomenon that one manages to return back home exactly on schedule despite the number of kilometres cycled.”

A fantastic effort Jan and for those sort of heroics I think we all ought to stick another cheque in the post for you or online here: http://www.westernfront.nl/lrf2006 - follow the links > sponsors > Justgiving.com.
