The Great Circular Indian Railway Challenge
So here's your chance to splosh the dosh and splash some cash for the children that Railway Children are trying to help. Whether you are ensuring myself, or any of the other assorted Indiaphiles involved in this escapade, get themselves boxed into a corner and actually have to carry out their lunatic challenge, remember that every penny counts, and all the more if you're a UK tax payer.
Just a small amount can have an impact People who have made highly significant contributions already have generally been emotionally blackmailed. Really, a couple of quid would make all the difference, and you don't have to go public ;).
Please do stick this on your twitter and/or spam a few mates if you find this entertaining in any way.
We had a whopping £580 donated on the orignal page on justgiving, plus £118.46 gift aid tax rebate. Alas justgving helped themselves to 5% of that, so we moved here.
The full role of honour is here, http://gcirc.wordpress.com/thanks
which should include people who have stumped on Andrew's page whch is here http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AndrewsGCIRC
And Jason's page which is here
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/TeamStretch
and Bella's page which is here
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/BellaVallender
which is how I come up with such a stonking "offline" amount, it's not off-line, it's just off-this-page. My orignal page where most of my mates ended up was with JustGiving, but they charge a whoping 5% commission on the gift aid reclaimation, so I ditched them.
if you want to talk to people involved already, the blog is here
and we've a huge thread running in here
