Thanks to everyone involved!
When all monies are collected the winning competitors will be sent the additional funds that are due to their respective charities. They will then make the total donation that is due to their charity and post a receipt to this thread. Hope this makes sense.
^^^^
Strike that Graham, I have your e-Mail now, which gives all the info I need except the Account Name.
Is the Account name EXACTLY as per your real name (i.e., name in full, not "Mr" or any initials)?
MR GRAHAM P CARTER
Although I believe any variation is OK.
I will also update this on the opening post.
Thanks again for your support.
Much appreciated,
Cheers,
Graham
Paid this morning, by Bank Transfer.
Just a little nudge guys, other than TK and my own friends and family, I am still awaiting payments from all other Sponsors. If you could please make the payment when you get a chance, that would be great.
Thanks again for your support.
Cheers,
Graham
All the best,
Graham
I (& many others) made a small donation, but would not have done so unless prompted by Graham's initiative.
The plan was to collect the payments and when the result was known, I would give the appropriate funds to each of the top four competitors for them to donate to their chosen charity in one go.
Yes gift aid is an issue which we discussed previously Matt.
Cheers,
Graham
As my mother still flicks through the forum from time to time, I don't want her to get flustered by this thread with the reminders in case she thinks she is overdue paying the money and has let anyone down when it is effectively still two and a half months early. So I have made her donation for her as she was down as sponsor's charity. Please find below the screen shot of the confirmation email I got from CenterPoint, the only thing I've cropped from it are my home address and the transaction number. The later is available on request by SoG if needs be, the former is only available if you are either Audrey Hepburn or Claudia Winkleman. I equalled her donation, just because, that's nothing to do with the money coming from me. Please mark her down as paid up, she'll square with me at a later date.
I do appreciate that some people may not be comfortable with the process and it is absolutely fine to make their donations themselves and notify the thread.
However, clearly anyone that has contributed to "The Prize Pool" will not know which four charities to donate to, until 2016.
My suggestion would be for people to do whatever they are comfortable with.
Some people won't want to make four payments and others may be OK with it.
I was hoping that the collection process wouldn't be a drawn out affair throughout 2016, so if you are planning to donate yourselves in 2016 when the result is known, please update the thread accordingly. Just so I've got an idea who's planning to pay that way.
Many thanks again for your support and once again apologies if anyone has felt uncomfortable with the proposed process.
Cheers Graham
P.S I know I can trust you Tommy, so no need for further proof.
Please find spreadsheet below of payments made and payment method used so far. I will keep this updated as payments and/or notifications come in.
Clearly people who have sponsored into the "Winner's Prize Pool" that want to pay direct to the charities concerned, can not do so until the results are known in 2016. However if that is your preference, it would be much appreciated if you could let me know for tracking purposes.
Many thanks.
Graham

Also, thanks for the kind words and good wishes for Punta Cana, I will be trying my best for sure.
Nothing to lose, if I do bust early, there are worse places to drown my sorrows :=)
Knowing my competitive nature, I won't go down without a fight at least.
All the best, good luck to you both at the tables.
Cheers,
Graham
Following on from IrishRose, MAXALLY and Shirley Cole's generous sponsorship.
The opening post has been updated accordingly.
Thanks again for your generosity.
Kind regards,
Graham
Hi guys, for those wanting to wait until the end of the year to make their payments. That's fine, however if you could just pop a post on this thread to let me know, that would be great.
It will just give me an idea of those that are aware of the payment collection details, so I can try other ways of contacting the remainder.
Cheers,
Graham
I set this up at the start of the year with a heavy heart after the passing of my brother. I know he would have been, simply overwhelmed, by the support it has received.
It means a lot to me and my family to be able to honour my brother in this way, whilst helping out a host of great causes.
Thank you all, and good luck to my fellow competitors, as the year draws to a close with it all still to play for.
Cheers,
Graham

When making payments via bank transfer, could you please suffix the payment reference (Sky_Id) with GA if you are eligible for Gift Aid and NGA (No Gift Aid) if you are not.
For those that have already kindly paid by bank transfer, could you please update this thread, or private msg me if you prefer, regarding whether or not we can claim gift aid on your kind donation.
Many thanks once again.
Cheers,
Graham
To ensure Sponsor bank details remain completely private, just the spreadsheet showing who the payment is made by and the amount/charity etc. will be displayed on this thread.
Thank you once again for your kind Sponsorship.
If you are yet to make your payment, the details of how to do so can be found on the opening post.
Many thanks,
Graham
Many thanks to all the Sponsor's who have paid so far. Much appreciated.
To ensure Sponsor's bank details remain completely private, just the name, amount and charity information will be displayed on this thread. If possible can you notify me (via thread or PM) on whether you are eligible for gift aid.
If you are yet to make your payment, details of how to do so are displayed on the opening post.
Kind regards,
Graham
Your payment has been received and I have updated the opening post accordingly.
All the best,
