This instinctively doesn't feel quite right. There is serious financial pressure and challenge in the charitable sector ... but a 50% fall in donations over a 12 month period would create carnage.
What do others think??

It was fantastic to see a number of our OTs return back to #TauntonSchool recently for a cricket match and dinner to remember a loved friend and classmate who passed away nine years ago.
Hear from some of our OT's about their best memories from school in our latest video ⬇️
Commentator's curse.
Don’t ever count Denis out of this race as there’s still a long way to go.

@bbctms @norcrosscricket on names: our 1st child was born @ time of England's last tour to Sri Lanka...and the 2nd, 2 weeks ago (v grateful for overnight commentary!) By sheer accident, both have a 'place' for their name: Lydia was a kingdom now in Turkey and Jos is in Nigeria
@bbctms @norcrosscricket Also looking for a middle name for no.2...can the team suggest any Cricketing names that I can sneak past their mother?!
Or the other way around: opened to make the pitch/attack look mean and unplayable...only to watch no3 cream it to all parts
Mr Woodhill: making cricket more-or-less complicated since 2018.
...although: none of those games has yet been played and I now see from @Wikipedia that the ECB, MCC, PCA and counties may have done it themselves before he started.
If the kind of 'innovation' behind the changes to the Big Bash League seems familiar to English cricket fans, the person behind them also acted as a consultant to the ECB for developing The Hundred. Trent Woodhill. #BBL10 teapawt.org/ESPNcricinfo/status/13…

#HisDarkMaterials returns for Season 2 this fall on @HBO.
Well England might win this test match but I don't like the balance of this side. Seriously Root up to 3 (because Crawley dropped)...that idea was already discredited. And why the variety of a left armer ignored totally? 🤷 #ENGvWI #bbccricket
@veitchtweets I received these texts from South Africa, any ideas how to counter this kind of 'no listening' customer service?
@Clicks_SA this is all your doing, who is Margaret? How did she know to get her parcel?
@bbctms @tmsproducer with no crowd, did organisers consider changing the length of lunch & tea (or playing sessions)? Could have been a chance for 2 30-minute intervals or try to even out the evening session usually being longest, esp. when play is extended as in this match.

Very powerful piece by Sky, absolutely worth listening to.

Cannot believe (or agree with) most of the replies I saw to this thread. @OllyMears not your denomination but something to discuss when meetings are open again!
