    Great stuff, thx Tommy's Mum!

    As it's a personal donation from a relative, it's completely fine for it all to go to your charity Tommy (CentrePoint) regardless of the TLB2015 result or it can go into the competitor pool to be split 50/30/20 amongst the top three. Completely your Mum's choice.

    Let me know!

    Thanks again!

    Starting to look like some big numbers!

    I've decided that I will donate £10 for every tournie that I win on Sky this year; for the last few months I only play the main/mini/UKOPS events but after having a chat with Matt, have now added in the £55BH at 9, £11BH at 9.30, £22BH at 10.15 and the £55 speed BH at 10.30. This should give me a deece chance at the leaderboard plus hopefully lots of wins!  This extra money will be split 50/50 between the winners charity and my own. 

    GL today.

    The charity I have chosen is Step Up. It may not be a well known one but it is a very worthy one and some donations could really make a difference.

    Step Up, which was launched in 2003, is a support service for families. It was founded by two mums, Anne and Shelley, who are still actively involved in Step Up today. The aim of Step Up is to provide a safe place for parents to come following the trauma of discovering that their child or children have been abused. They offer practical and emotional support in a number of ways. Step Up is a voluntary agency and a registered charity. They are therefore able to link in with the statutory services as well as other voluntary agencies for the benefit of their clients. All support workers and volunteers in Step Up are people who have all suffered and have extensive knowledge and training in trauma. They have all received extensive training in order that we can offer a high class service to the families who contact us for help.
