National meet 2013.Charity raffle;where the money goes)

[craig3.2]

As per heading,just highlighting a post i put on the National LAKES/DALES meet thread..and wanted to bring it to ppls attention.....

As per previous Ntaional meets,we raise money with the sale of raffle tickets,which goes to a Cancer charity,normally decided by those present at the meet,at the time.....
This year i would like to donate the money to MACMILLAN CANCER CARE,IN MEMORY OF FELLOW FORUM MEMBER CARL EDMUNDS;CJEDS,who sadly passed away from cancer recently.
Anyone who met him at a meet would agree he was a nice guy to have in your company/chat to.

So,just looking for peoples opinion,Especially those who will be attending The Ntaional meet in July,and (hopefully)contributing,by buying Raffle tkts,i.e if anyone has any Objections to this.
Thanks for reading folks

That would be nice of you...and gave me the idea i should point out that the Charity Raffle tickets get drawn on the Saturday at the meet,and as its too much time,cost etc involved for me to post out prizes to ppl who are not actually at the draw,they unfortunately have to go to those who are there at the time ..........
However,if anyone,who wont be able to make the meet,and wants to give a donation (however small or otherwise),in memory of Carl then all donations would be greatly received.....hope this doesnt upset anyone,cheers

PM me if anyone wants to donate any money,for those who cant attend the meet,thanks
