On a serious note - i think if i could get a few people to do it, we could make quite a fair chunk of dosh for charity!
And if we did it on a buisy day, maby could get even more.

I think it is in the US. Can't find anything on the Charity Commission website, could be how it is named though. Search for GUE or Global showed nothing that looked related.


I think the multiple vote will lead to primary choices losing out to what many might pick as a second - the RNLI.

How will we go about paying out for the Yd charities? Will there be someone in charge?

Guys,

I put *all* the suggestions from the suggestions thread in the poll. GUE, 12th Morley Scouts, the lot. My view is that was the purpose of that thread and the purpose of this thread is to choose which of those suggestions is the most popular.

I would be surprised if GUE or 12th Morley Scouts made it to number 1 though

Hope that clarifies
Mal

P.S. We did multiple choice last year so I just repeated that again.

I thought that too.

Perhaps one answer might be that a second poll should be conducted of the top 5 or 6 so that we come up with just one?

I voted for the Scuba Trust as I feel we should support a dive charity. I am an RNLI member and don't feel any need to further support them TBH.

Bump... To try to keep it on the front page.

I think there a lot of worthy causes there!
