"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.

15 years ago Club Chairman Lo Pilfold created the role of Club Fund Coordinator - then told me to get on with it! I don’t think any of us ever dreamed it would carry on for this long or that it would capture the imagination of members in the way that it has. You have all raised an unbelievable amount of money over the years; over £280K and still climbing which is an enviable record by anyone’s standards, and still the interest, kindness, generosity and support from club members continues at every level across the UK and from members overseas too.

Of all the jobs in the club it’s probably the best one to have. Cheques fall on the mat almost on a daily basis and although every now and again a cloud goes over the sun and a very sad reason for the donation puts it all into perspective, the vast majority come with interesting letters or notes offering explanations of what, when, how and why, some funny, some very detailed, some sparse and some cryptic but all full of generosity so it is a job where one is constantly exposed to the very best side of people - and it really is time for me to stop being so selfish and pass the role on to someone else!

I can’t say any more than I have already said many times over the years to express my thanks to you all so please take it as read as I’m sure you will, you are a great bunch and I’ve loved every minute and if you can give the same support and goodwill to the new Club Fund Coordinator, Rachael Sangha, then she will very soon see it as the most enjoyable job in the club as well!

Many of you already know Rachael as the AO for the Cambridge area and well experienced at getting in the thick of club life she is too, with plenty of enthusiasm, energy and intelligence so I recommend her to you wholeheartedly. Some say she is also better looking but I’m not sure about that! :o)

Rachael has agreed to take over the role from the 1^st December 2006 so please send all cheques and NtL stuff to her from then onwards – see contacts below.

Enough of my wittering, onward and upward as they say, cheers all:
