Over the last few years the club has got into the habit of making a regular annual donation (currently £250) to a worthy cause. In the past this has been chosen by the committee and last year we selected the Helipad Appeal at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital. At yesterday's committee meeting we thought it would be good to ask the membership to suggest a beneficiary for this year's donation (after all, it is your money!) so please post your ideas here.
At committee we came up with Ecale mountain rescue and the air ambulance...both excellent and relevant causes.. Are there any others we could consider? Other mountain rescue teams? Is there a different air ambulance service that we may have cause to need?.
It seems that Ecale mountain rescue is favourite for this year. Perhaps air ambulance next?
Thanks for all the responses. Today we donated £250 to the Edale MRT
