Post by: thetank on May 08, 2008, 12:11:57 PM The P4C brouhaha opened a lot of people's eyes as to what goes on with charities, and has made me a lot more selective about who I give to.
Someone wanted me to sponsor them to jump out of a plane the other day. I politely declined. The reason was, £100 from what was raised paid for the parachute jump. If I gave them a tenner, and they raised £200, it would be £5 to the charity, and £5 towards their day out. If it's a small charity, they might then go and spend as much as £4 of that £5 on administrative costs. As far as doing good goes, you're better off buying 10 lottery tickets. Not that I do buy lottery tickets, there are a lot of corporate sponsored charities out there, where the administrative costs are payed in full by a particular company, and 100% of what you give goes towards doing some good. I'm not going to plug any of them on here though, as I understand I now have zero credibility when it comes to recommending charities. ;goodvevil; Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them??

Tried to log into their forum but it seems they have deleted my username. On another note, check out volcanicsports dot com , as it seems to be a site run by Davey Newth, well its his name in the contact information section...

Post by: Rod Paradise on May 08, 2008, 04:25:57 PM We have been asked to point out that information about Davey Newth has no relevance to the charity at all considering Davey resigned from the charity nearly 2 years ago and no longer has anything to do with the charity.
Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them?? Post by: tikay on May 08, 2008, 09:26:03 PM We have also been informed that...... 1) P4C will not be running any more Poker Events. 2) P4C has a new Board of Trustees. 3) P4C have instructed their Solicitors to monitor this thread. So you must keep the thread compliant, please, or face the consequences, one assumes. Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them?? Post by: Rooky9 on May 08, 2008, 09:33:39 PM P4C stands for 'Poker for Charity' (I believe) + P4C will not be running anymore poker events = ???

Post by: gatso on May 08, 2008, 09:40:06 PM it would probably be better for p4c to monitor the thread themselves and alert their solicitors to anything of interest. that way they don't have to pay them to come on here all the time and could give the money saved to good causes
Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them??

So everyone, please make sure you stick to facts, & avoid rhetoric. Facts are fine, I would assume. We may remove Posts we consider outwith that brief, but we cannot be held responsible for what you may Post, or how it is interpreted by others. So, be careful please.

Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them?? Post by: LLevan on May 08, 2008, 09:49:15 PM We have been asked to point out that information about Davey Newth has no relevance to the charity at all considering Davey resigned from the charity nearly 2 years ago and no longer has anything to do with the charity. If he resigned from the charity nearly 2 years ago it would make sense for the contact details on the P4C website to have been amended and not be his contact details. It appears that their website is full of affiliate links and one wonders who gains the benefits of these links if people sign up to the online casinos from the P4C website links especially now it appears from what TK has stated that P4C is no longer involved in running Poker events. We can only hope that some benefit from any monies gained from the affiliate links goes towards good causes. Title: Re: poker4charity?what happened to them??

Well, more correctly, I repeated what I'd been told today, via PM, by somone who is or was very closely connected to P4C. You can assume that the PM was from someone who would know, for 100% certain.

This is a area which is where you must all be very careful, please, in view of my earlier note. P4C & Game4Life are or were "closely connected". One is or was a Registered Charity, the other is or was a business which collected monies & passed a % on to the Charity. I'm not taking sides here, or being difficult - just be careful, please.
