The BETFOR Association: Management Committee

Following recent turmoil in the Association, which was reported in the December 2007 Special Issue of the Association's Journal, the current officers and staff are:

The BETFOR Association: Certificate of Incorporation

Companies House has accepted the submission of BETFOR ASSOCIATION for the issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company.

This act is the gift of a sincere friend of the Association who has paid for it on our behalf, to legally safeguard the name "BETFOR Association", and to prevent the unauthorized use of that name by others. No funds of the Association were expended on this matter.

The impact of this action on the present plans of and for the Association is now being studied, and reports will be periodically posted here and on our message board.

The BETFOR Association: Status of Operations

It had been decided by the Committee of this Association that the surplus funds could most properly be donated toward the comfort and support of wounded servicemen at the Defence Services Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DSMRC) Headley Court.

Their external support is largely derived through the Registered Charity Help for Heroes. The interaction between these two organisations has been discussed both on this website and in its Message Board.

The following is a transcription of the acknowledgement letter received from Help for Heroes with reference to our distribution of funds to that worthy charity. The quality of the letter image presented to this writer was not adequate for placement on our website.

                      Support for our Wounded

Re donation :-
   In Memory of the Late Mr Jim Crow
   and the Betfor Association                    22nd February 2008

Help for Heroes gratefully acknowledges The Betfor Association's 
generous donation of £5000.00  It is very much appreciated and we 
will ensure that it is used to directly support our wounded.  
As a new charity run on a largely voluntary basis with most of our 
overheads covered by sponsorship, we ensure that your donations go 
toward the cause rather than into administrative overheads.

Thank you so much for your donation, it is greatly needed and 
appreciated.

Thumbs Up !

Yours sincerely
