poker4charity?what happened to them??

[thetank]

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.

Just had a look at their site - they held their last poker event ever last weekend in Scarboroigh.

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...

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.

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.

P4C stands for 'Poker for Charity' (I believe) + P4C will not be running anymore poker events =

I wonder if solictors charge by the 6minute block for web surfing! I'm not even going to take this on to the question that would follow that!!!

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

They are doing that, too, which would explain why their Solicitors are now on the case.

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.

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.
