Updated list:
Sam.. received your £25 donation, thanks.
Still waiting for lots of deposits. Would be grateful if folks could at least contribute £5 for now as a deposit with the other £20 in March if this helps with cashflow.
Heard back from Mike and unfortunately he can't release anyone from the staff to participate due to other commitments, but has agreed to cover the day in the mag and has contributed 5 x 1 yr subscriptions to GM for prizes.
We still need more Navy representatives. Anyone who enjoys a long soak in the bath or listens to the Village People could be considered eligible if no REAL Navy folks come forward.
Still looking for others to come forward and play to get the numbers back up to 32. No military connections required.

There's a very brief entry on the H4H site at the following link:
http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/golf_events.html
It's about the 23rd down the list.
Great to see how many golf clubs are nominating H4H as their charity this year.
Also one guy is attempting to play 150 golf courses between Sept 09 - Jul 10 collecting money as he goes from members at each course....... Now why didn't I think of that???

Quick update & a question for Smiffy:
As we have had quite a lot drop out, and with no replacements so far coming forward from the GM forum, in order to increase the numbers back up to min 32, I have invited a team from the HDID Forum.
They have got a team together and 3 out of the 4 have already paid their deposits to the justgiving site. One of them is coming from Leeds, one from Bath and 2 from Southampton. They also have strong Military connections (One was Navy 22 years and 2 had fathers in the RAF & Navy)
I have also recruited a team of Primary Health Care Trust Finance Directors from the NHS to bolster the Public Sector team. Two of them are members at Woburn and one at Bushey Golf & CC.
The question for Smiffy is.....I would also like to invite a team from the Golf Magic Forum and I know there a few coming to the Addington meet that you are arranging.
Do you have a good contact there I can speak to to get them to enter a 4- ball team?
Opening it up to these 2 other golf forums to send a team will help circulate the link and hopefully secure donations from a wider audience.
Still vacancies if anyone else from the GM forum wants to play.

Hi Rick, unfortunately the date is a little bit too early with me, what with my knee at the moment, but I hope you have a great time.
I just wanted to make a quick comment with regards to donating money to charity. If you are a higher rate tax payer. I.e you pay 40% tax or basically earn over approx £43k/year (£6475 personal allowance + £37,400 Lower Tax band threshold) You can use this donation to pay a little extra at a lower tax rate.
Basically as an example, if you donated £80 to charity and chose to also give 'gift aid' then the charity will actually receive an extra 25% of your donation. So your £80 donation is worth £100 to the charity.
Now if you're a higher rate tax payer, your 'effective' donation (£80+£20) can be added to your tax threshold. Therefore increasing your lower tax threshold to £37,500.
This simply means that on that extra £100, you get taxed £20 instead of £40. Saving £20, which means you end up paying £60, but this is worth £100 to the charity.
I'm sure many of you already know this, but I thought I would mention it in case.
Have a good knock guys x
