make me angry

[nuffieldranger]

would love to just do it anyway but Help for Heroes want to do it properly so needed qpr approval so tins are not here. I may do it for another game and ask the springbok for permission shame though as this would have been the perfect day to do it.

Some companies have a situation where they can't really have more than one charity. Like fitness first can't have any charities or charity event unless its for BHF. So like imagine QPR had some charity for sick children, and then you come along with bucket and you are taking potential charity money away from the sick children. It might possibly be that, heartless(ish) but semi-logical. Don't know. We will find out more I suppose.

I am sure you are correct and the Troops on Saturday have their own charity.

I hope you are correct but if so why could they not tell me this before i started the ball rolling or give me this as a reason when they said no ?

I have been trying to organise a bucket collection before the game on saturday for help for heroes i registered as a help for heroes fund raiser and spoke to qpr for permission more than a fortnight later i get a reply from them and guess what the answer is NO :scorn:

Nuffield.... clearly the club should have dealt with you better, but they are going to be collecting for Help for Heroes......

At the very least, we'll all be able to show our appreciation for our troops, and well done to the club for organising it!

Thanks for the info mate i am not doubting you at all but help for heroes had no knowledge of this and even put me in touch with others willing to help me!!!!!

Gutted, if that's the case..... just had a look on the offish again, and it definately says sponsored by Help for Heroes..... Also, it would nake sense - if the club are going to the effort of bringing the guys to LR, and hoping to make a big fuss, it stands to reason that they'd try and collect for them too!

Either way, you've got my total support / as do our armed forces.

Spoke to may of the Troops today at an event in Hounslow and they are looking forward to Saturday

[nuffieldranger]

[qprdad]

Alls well that ends well

[nuffieldranger]

If you want to see me in action delivering a speech during the ceremony to confirm the Fusiliers the Freedom of the Borough then have a look here and either forward to about 25 minutes in or use the index option.
