Which charity??

[chamb]

Which charity??

Its for the North Highland Cancer Support Centre, which is a new charity that set up last year.

In the royal they have a collection Tin on the bar and all proceeds from the raffle will be deposited in there.

Does the charity also get the money charged for the tables ?

[poppett]

Hope you get a good turn out for the sale.

What a brilliant combination, Sunday lunch and a browse round a sale all under the same roof.

Hope this idea takes off and becomes a regular event.

Any money left over after paying for the useofthe hall will be donated.

Hope there is a good turn out, 6 Tables booked already.

Hope there is a good turn out, its possible if there is a good turn out selling and buying that I have been thinking about making it a monthly thing, last sunday of each month, maybe.

We will see how this goes?

A regular date sounds like a good idea and gives folk time to plan ahead.

The regular boot sales in Inverness were always well attended and also had a section with home baking, tatties & veg, eggs etc., a mini farmers market. The tattie man used to sell a lot on the day in all sorts of quantities, and also took orders for delivery during the week.

It would also give the smaller charities a chance to sell their goods or a care home wanting to make extra patients funds could have a collection of goodies amongst the staff and residents and sell it on a table at the Royal.

The potential is there - just hope folk put on their thinking caps and use it.

Dont you think being a charity then The Royal would give the hall for Free!!!!

Ive done a few things in there before and ive always had the hall for nothing...

Hi moonboots ,thats why i asked the question earlier but it looks like they`re not being very charitable

So it looks like they are just out to make money and not help by giving the hall etc for charities.

To tell you the truth it looks like Chamb works for the Royal. Just a gut feeling i have!!!

[ABC]

Yes I have heard this preious (chamb working in royal) in managerial post

[Moonboots]

Case Closed!!!!

I used to think that the Royal Hotel (in fact all hotels) were run as a business and to expect them to provide premises free to any charity is stretching things a bit. The fact that one of the people involved with the charity may work there would seem to be immaterial although it appears to make for good scandal among some of the uncharitable individuals who frequent this forum.

[scorpion]

Why does our question make us uncharitable .The British Legion always donate their hall for any charity functions ,they , like the Royal can make money by selling refreshments and snacks

[davie]

Nothing wrong with the question - the statements says something else and I consider that uncharitable .

[chamb]

As already mentioned in this thread I do indeed work in the Royal,

BUT at the time of the car boot I will no longer be, so I think it only fair not to expect them to give it for free.

So rather than post saying ALL proceeds will be going to the chosen charity I said after costs the remainder will be donated.

I brought the fact there was a car boot sale to the org to raise awareness and to raise more money. But the next one I wont bother.

I would like to thank you, chamb, for making your original post. Just ignore any negative comments as surely any money raised for charity is most welcome.:)

[anneoctober]

Has it REALLY come to this? We suspect everyone of having ulterior motives if they do something to raise money for charity etc? Surely Chamb should be applauded for her willingness to work for charity and raise funds, not treated with suspicion.

[davie]

You will always get these mean-minded individuals - having the brass neck to post their scurrilous inneundo on a public forum is something else.

[Loch not Lock]

:)Just a reminder that the sale is this Sunday.

[poppett]

Hope lots of folk turn up for some good deals, both buying and selling. At least it is inside so the weather doesn`t matter
