There may be a bigger debate to have, but i agree with CB in some respects.
We've become a nation where people want sponsoring for keeping fit and healthy (running marathon, big bike rides), for walking around a park in a coloured t-shirt to match the particular charity brand, for going on grand treking holidays, and even for practicing various niche fetishes (bath of beans anyone?).
Back on thread though, if i decide to try to register for tweed ride this year I won't object to paying an entry fee to take part for the benefit of the charity mentioned.
