Charity event

[cassa333]

If you were chairperson of a charity and every year you had an event organiser put on a big fundraising sports event (including celebrities and stuff) that paid for a number of seriously ill children and their families to go on a holiday would you expect to 1 be invited as a guest and not pay for your ticket. 2 be invited but pay for your ticket. 3 not be invited?

I would certainly, out of courtesy, expect to be nvited! As it is a charity I would not object to paying for a ticket, but not to be invited would be an insult!

i agree would definitly expect invite but money woulnt bother me if for good charitabble cause

They ( the organisers) have suggested I get the charity to pay for my ticket!!!

He and all the staff he gets to help out (his family) get paid, I supply a dozen volunteers and we have to pay...

[cassa333]

I don't mind paying realy as I have always done in the past but I would like the same considerations as the previous chair.

I don't think he even wants me to go!

If it meant that maybe someone lost out or something couldn't be done because of your ticket and everything had be budgetted for then that may be a consideration.

Are you wanting to go and just see everything go on or to participate as a volunteer?

[cassa333]

No one misses out from me going as the previous chair was paid for. However it has as much to do with the fact that as chair I get invited to a number of events and if I paid to go to all of them then between sept and Nov alone I would have to pay out over �300.

As a volunteer and on a low income this is too much to have to spend to execute my duties.

I still think it is tto much to spend realy...
