Story

Another year, another chance to take on the famous "Goodworth Clatford Christmas Quiz" compiled by the legendary word-wizard Stephen Graham (and brother of the late great crossword compiler Araucaria), with huge help and assistance from Mark Haszlakiewicz. There will be a small prize for the top three scores - but the main idea is to provide you with some amusement over Christmas.

IMPORTANT NOTES TO READ BEFORE DONATING 

(It may be an idea to have the “Important notes to read before donating” pdf from my email open beside you  to save your having to remember everything!)

1) Click on the purple “Back Fundraiser” button on the webpage and then choose the amount you wish to donate (it defaults to differing amounts/currencies).
2) JustGiving then try to get you to give THEM money (mine defaults to 15% of the
donation) - YOU MAY WANT TO CHANGE THIS (via the drop down menu) to “Other” and then delete anything there and insert zero if you do not want to give JustGiving anything on top of your donation....this is NOT the Gift Aid section (that comes next).
3) Click the “Continue” button,  and this is where the Gift Aid process starts. It’s occupied some of the finest legal minds in the country, but if you Donate £10 or more YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLAIM GIFT AID on your donation (if you’re a UK taxpayer and donating
your own money), so...
4) Leave a message and add your name (tick the “hide my name” box if you only want me to see it), and then “Continue”. Next, if claiming Gift Aid, click on “I’m donating my own money” and then and then, “Yes, Add Gift Aid” (plus the 2 tick boxes that then appear below), followed by the “Continue” button.
5) Next there’s your Taxpayer details to confirm, then click “Continue” again and you’re through to the payment page.
6) Once you’ve completed the payment details and chosen whether to receive message from Motor Neurone Disease Association, the final thing you must do is to tick/click the square "I’m happy to share my contact details with Andy Graham” box so that I know where to send the Quiz; IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE AN EMAIL I WILL NOT KNOW WHERE TO SEND THE QUIZ! Details will only be shared with me and will not be made public.

The deadline is Jan 18th, 2022. I’m sorry to have to put so much detail in this email, but Gift Aid on donations will meant we raised an extra £4,000 extra last year and so (I hope) worth the verbosity!
