    It's Grand National Day Tomorrow. We have done it in the past, so against my better judgement, as I am carp at organising things, we should try to raise some money for good causes. Usual rules apply. Pick a number, copy the list (highlight, then press Ctrl 'C'), then paste it into a new post (press Ctrl 'V') and I will do my best to keep up with the chaos. I will request someone as my trusty person who will keep a copy list to the horses/corresponding numbers to make sure I don't cheat. The winner gets to choose the cause and we all pay our £2 to that cause. I hope im not breaking any forum rules, as all charity links/donation links will be put onto the relevant forum section. As ever there's no obligation to take part at all, and if it all goes breastage up, blame Bubbs Oh, and if you pick a non runner/donkey/3 legged albatross, tough!

    I have set a just giving page up as I'm doing a charity thing later on in the year I haven't posted about it yet but if my horse wins please could the donations go towards it. It's for cancer research the same as Sarah's x

    Sorry Di, had I known, I would have included it with Sarahdol75's. We could always have a first, (no pun intended) and the winner could split it between the two of you, if they haven't got a favourite charity themselves. x

    If there are any new people to the thread, that dont have a clue what is going on. You pick a number, then just before the race you are told which horse that relates too. If your horse wins, choose your favourite charity, and everyone on your list donates £2 to that charity. A good way to get a reasonable amount to your favourite charity. (If list is full, it will be +£75)
