Old Polo Thread

does anyone have experience of registering a charity? would it be worth registering MHBPA as a charitable organisation... i know its a giant leap from where we are now.... perhaps we need to start actually having some regular meetings and try and work out what we want to try and acheive for MCR Polo
think it's better to set up as a not for profit (if that's any different to a charity?), brum had a thread i linked to a bit ago wil see if i can find it...
