JacknDanny Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I recently challenged Bangkok James to a Charity punt, which he accepted. 100,000 baht each, based on the TV Football Prediction competition (each week you predict the scores of each Premiership game). At the end of the season the winner with the most points donates the cash to a charity of his choice. Although it was initially a way of (hopefully) slapping James' ars, I got to thinking that if any of you guys out there who have a bit of spare cash, and want to do a bit of good for charity, then lets make it a mini competition. Rules will be........... 1) You join the TV prediction competition run by Jockstar, and those rules apply and are final. 2)All monies have to be handed to Mr Toad ( a good toad, non slippery, who will not do a runner with the money ) prior to the season starting. He is always in the Crossbar pub, but we could all meet up the weekend before the matches start 3) You must nominate your charity, and the charity must be real 4) At the end of the season a representative of the charity collects the money from us all, at a convenient location. (no TGF collecting on behalf of .....etc etc) If 5 or 6 can join, thats a tidy sum to be giving up to a lucky charity. And please once you have given your word, no backing out So I will start the ball rolling.. JacknDanny. Charity....Fr Joes Mercy Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may well have a punt myself, have to make sure before I commit, just in case Mrs Toad has plans for money. Just to confirm that the money will be placed into an account for safe keeping. I have mentioned to J"N"D one way that we can do that, just so that all know that the money is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 great idea guys these days MiGgie can not afford much (even cutting down on the choccie supplies!) so wont be contributing. (might set up a 'buy miggie a chocolate bar a day' foundation though maybe Mrtoad will choose my charity ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First JD, let's get it straight, if I want to donate 100,000 to a charity I will on my own, don't need to beat you at some football pool. Sorry, a new family and house to pay for won't have me dishing out 100k to anyone - charity begins at home. (you see I do have an English side afterall ) That being said, I think this is a good idea and would be willing to jump in for say 5k-10k, and a lower amount (whatever it is) will open it up to more people. Expanding upon your idea, how can we open up the idea to more people beyond just the football regulars on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(might set up a 'buy miggie a chocolate bar a day' foundation though maybe Mrtoad will choose my charity ? ) The Mig Chocolate Fund. Sound reasonable. I think a few good points have been made. I can take on board what James has said as well, and if we could maybe do it at 10k buy in, then there may be more takers. I'd certainly like to see money go to The Mercy Centre.

Expanding upon your idea, how can we open up the idea to more people beyond just the football regulars on here? James, That is your prerogative. It seems a different response to what you replied to me recently It was your idea to give the money to someone independently? I dont know how to bring up previous posts, but if you want to renege then thats upto you Unbelievable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that giving to charity should be a private and personal thing anyway You are doing your bit , good on yer It was just a follow on to what James and I had previously agreed on,it was just going to be us two, but then I thought I could whip up a bit more interest. But as James is no longer interested, then if anyone wants to PM me to go ahead with the agreed sum, then please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
