    Now normaly on a sweepsteak, you dont get to choose your horse, but on this occasion, you can. FC, people will have to choose what charity they want, or there is no risk involved (if you know what I mean,) this way they pay a pound, or whatever, and if their horse wins, they get to choose the charity. Tell me if I am taking this too far.

    I just typed the whole list out and I was on PM :o please transfer for me :o:rotfl:

    Okay, sweepstake on the national..
    There are 40 horses at the moment, all of these horses have been numbered randomly by myself, and the list sent to another forum member to scrutinise.
    What happens is you pledge a pound (or more) and the 'owner' of the winning horse chooses a charity for the donations to be paid too. You then pay you 'stake' to that charity through the just giving website, I will give the link after the race,once the charity has been chosen. If this all goes tits up, please dont blame me, it is late ;)
    If you want to pledge, copy and paste the list, and add your name and these instructions please.

    I will take any horses left at a pound each. We hope to release the list of the horses you have chosen just before the race, to get you more excited!
