I have been asked to post this:  (Don't shoot the kin messenger please!)

thanks Trace, but really they should post themselves shouldn't they? It doesn't look too good does it, hiding behind you (even though you represent them like a good 'un!)

I actually asked Trace to post this, as I didn't know when I would be getting online, and I am in no way hiding behind anyone,and have never felt the need to hide behind anyone. I thought you would rather have the answer sooner rather than later.

So is it possible to give us an idea as to when the other answers will be available?
Thanks
Tracey

Why don't you compile a list of questions you want answered, like someone suggested a while ago, and we can work through them.

Poker4Charity - This was merely a name we came up with when we held our first event in Newcastle over 5 years ago, we never thought at that stage we would register it as a charity. After talking to a few poker pro's they suggested we should try and get charitable status.
 
When it came to registering a name for the charity, the charities commission would not accept the name Poker4Charity as it did not represent what our mission statement was about. Plus poker was not allowed in the name as it was gaming.
 
So we came up with the name Game For Life - This was done because all of the children we had met were indeed Game For Life.
 
The name Poker4Charity still exists as many people knew it as that and we already had a paid forum in the P4C name.

I see Trace/Ang - thanks for the response.

Two final questions from me...

Why weren't the fund raising events held as G4L events then, as this is the actual registered charity?

In the future will fund raising events be held under the G4L banner where the monies collected will be shown in full transparency?

Thanks in advance.

Why weren't the fund raising events held as G4L events then, as this is the actual registered charity? Poker4Charity is a campaign of G4L, so if it's a fundraiser that P4C is putting on the money goes to G4L, P4C do not hold any bank accounts. NSPCC are currently running a Stop for Tea charity event, every different fundraiser will have a different name relating to the fundraising event.

In the future will fund raising events be held under the G4L banner where the monies collected will be shown in full transparency? P4C just relates to G4L activities within the poker world, and therefore if G4L hold a golfing event it will come under the name of Golfing4Charity, Yes all money collected will be shown in the way previously posted on P4C forum and also on Blonde forum.

I understand now I think. Thanks for clarifying.
