I wasn't expecting to find anything key-worded as "charity" but to my surprise I found a display of fund-raising Christmas Trees held at Chester Cathedral, winter of 2018. I can't remember the specific charity.  DSCF3774.jpg by Pete, on Flickr  DSCF3772.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I thought that I had some fibre glass Guide Dogs, RNLI or little boy in calipers collection box photographs, the nearest I can find is this.  Valletta IMG_9599editDEC by Keith Hudson, on Flickr |

Also on Malta.  M'dina IMG_9733edit by Keith Hudson, on Flickr My limited understanding of latin and the workings of the Catholic Church would indicate that the two donation slots are for donations to the church's work (first one?) and donations to the Church presumable to buy your place in heaven. I could be entirely wrong and look forward to been corrected. |

Ours was rather lovely actually although I forgot to take any pictures. Sigh. |

This is going back! Jpg not raw and before they "cleaned up" the (for charity) annual raft race on the Dee at Chester. I was looking for charity banners so - Samaritans - counts I guess. It was rough back then (this is 2008). Eggs were thrown - now banned as a (very real) safety hazard. Also banned now are water cannon. Some rafts used to have a petrol engined pump and try to blast the opposition out of the water.  IMG_0038.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
