Default MK GP Chairty Donation from 2011

Dear All,

For all those racers who kindly donated their £3's racing money at the MK GP, please see below proof of the payments made to Children in Need and Help for Heroes.

I personally think its a great gift from all those who donated.

Well Done all those paid to enter and did'nt want refunding

It's hoped to put on another great weekends racing in 2012/2013. With more helpers spreading the workload it would be great for a fully funded chairty event to take place.

Neil

Two very worthwhile charities, well done to all who contributed.

However, I have to say not so well done to those who made this thread necessary. Was there any need not to take Neil on his word? The constant clamour for proof leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I wasn't even involved in any way.

I applaud Neil for a more restrained response than I would have been inclined to give....

I disagree.
If someone takes on the responsibility of money given to a charity, they should go out of there way to show they have paid it to that charity!!! And I believe they should do this as quickly as possible. In my opinion this is necessary to show people that they are genuine. It should not take months for the proof to be given. There are so many scams out there and you can never be too cautious when it comes to money!!!

I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more.

In this instance Neil has been on oOple for 3 years, has posted 2500 times, runs a club, and is known, liked and respected by all.

Neil doesn't need to prove to anyone that he is genuine.

And for the record, I'm not just sticking up for a mate as I have never even met Neil. But I have seen enough of him on here to know there is no need to doubt his integrity.

We at TORCH were asked for payment proof too when we donated.

Info was provided as requested like Neil has done.


TORCH has been going 30 years and I have 6000 posts. (most of it crap)

Everyone is entitled to their own view on it.

Money is always a "delicate" area..

Sorry to say!!

When you donate money to a charity you expect proof of your donation!
this can be a certificate or a letter!

I think it would be nice to see the official documentation.

Also lots of us in the business lost money from MK. It has left a very bad taste of that whole event. I even bought something from Mark from my own pocket that we had supplied to him that he never paid for and just dissapeared after the event. So i ended up paying twice!
So anyone who has had any connection with the MK GP should really be making a super effort to show they have done the right thing!! Sorry Neil, but unlike some i dont know you that well.

Default Great Charities

Now, anyone who was doubting, please get the message.

The MKGP was awsome and I would be happy to give my time and effort for another like it, For charity. Would be great for the buggy scene and raise much needed money for them to.

We can all get together this year and come up with a plan.
