OPTIONS ANNUAL CHARITY.
Each year at the AGM. we put forward ideas for next years charity.
The suggestions are put to the vote and we elect to collect for a single charity.
All profits from raffles at Options events are collected throughout the year.
Normally these are rounded up from club funds and sent to the charity after the AGM.
The charity for 2008- 2009 is The Alzheimer's Research Trust.
In past years we have collected as follows:-
