www.childsplaycharity.org/Visit this place, its a charity set up by Penny Arcarde comic. Its basically a charity set up by gamers to help kids who are in hospital who are seriously ill. they raise cash to help these kids in USA, Canada and the UK! U can also buy gifts for the hospitals on Amazon - each hospital has its own Wish list. They do accept paypal on the site but amazing does need a full Debit/Credit card.

Sounds good, I dunno we will have to speak to the Finance department to see whether NQLAN can sort something out.

Wow, thats great stuff! I tell you what, I can setup a donation system on the website, we can run it for like a month or two, let our community members and fellow LANors make donations that they feel comfortable with.. and then we could see how much we could raise in our accounts and then finally hand over a larger sum as a community Newquay LAN. We could publish the names of all donaters aswell (if they wished). What do you think? Is that a good idea?

Sounds farking amazing 2 me mate. wasn't going to impose the NQLAN donate nething but if we did it would be UBER! u could donate ££ or you could just go on Amazon and buy gifts for the kids @ the Hospital in the UK!
wonder if we got hold of the ppl that run the charity and if we put up the donate and their banner on the site...they would link to us on their site?

If you havent already noticed folks we have started a fund raiser towards this charity. If you want to be a part of our community fund raiser to raise a larger sum as a community dont donate directly to the charity, donate through our website. You can find the information in our online shop, heres a direct link: www.newquaylan.co.uk/menu_pages/shop.htm#donationsDonate anything you can no matter how big or small it all goes towards helping sick kids out in hospitals and its you the gamers that make it happen! Lets see how much we can raise before the 1st of April. Newquay LAN will pay all the paypal transaction fees and then come the final count up Newquay LAN will also donate some out of its funds Thanks ever so much for your help everyone.
