    Please go to www.onepercentpledge.com and sign up and tell us what you think. Over the next week or so I will be distributing envelopes to the following for you to donate....

    The Fitz
    Green Joker Poker
    PokerEvents
    The Irish Open

    A big thank you to a certain 'unnamed' boardster for working on the website. I could not have done this without his help. Also, another boardster for the printing work and thanks to all you boardsters for your help......now start winning!

    Stay tuned for some nice prize draws for members and some online games to qualify for the ICHUC GB v Ireland game (see news section).

    Cheers

    Dave

    Congrats BigD nice site.

    I'm sure it will be an exceptional success.

    P.S. If the anonymous boardster wants to remain anonymous then he/she should change the address from where the activation code is sent.

    I think a Netteller account would be a better option than a PayPal,or better still both.

    Yeah Paul, we are looking into that. However, we have a few 'admin' issues we need to resolve before we can do all that. Thanks.

    Great work to all!
    I've got a few quid to give you aswell.
    Paypal is very handy. Or poker events or the Fitz either.
    Nice one.

    Dave,

    Well Done, brilliant stuff.

    I think you could do with a paragraph/page telling people how they can donate and the steps involved from signing up as a player to the donation procedure at the Fitz etc....An adjacent flow diagram would be great as well.
    (it will stop loads of repetitive questions, as people rarely go to FAQ's).

    Yep - I have an amount to donate (maybe once a quarter suits me!) but not sure of the best way...I can cut a cheque, leave it in cash at the Fitz, transfer to bank account, etc...

    Actually the bank transfer would probably suit a hell of a lot of people and most charities have this option.

    Thanks for the comments lads. All the suggestions are in the works and we'll be sorting those out soon. The online/bank transfer things will take a bit of time but we are looking at it.

    Cheers again.

    I think he is referring to the email address that sends out the activation code. Bit of a giveaway really......

    Very good, the site looks well. As Shoutman sent, you might wanna get your 'anonymous boardster' to change the address the activation code is sent from...

    Also, I'm not crazy on the idea of everyone being able to view other people's donations... I want to donate to the charity, but I don't want to feel pressurised into donating to keep up with everyone else.

    Just a minor point, keep up the good work Dave :)

    Thats the idea behind having a nickname on the donators list. You can sign up again with an anonymous nick and then add that nickname on the donation envelopes. You dont have to use your boards nickname. Its the only way we could see of putting peoples donations on the list so we can attract sponsors through numbers etc....

    great idea.

    You could probably get sponsership from paddy power and boyle sports(online) etc have a tournie and let them give the rake or a percentage to the charity or something... or have a charity night in the Fitz
