Poole bike night is a classic example of the charity bucket being used to make money for the wrong people.
As for the red ring ride the organisers may have only taken £2300 but looking at the riders there they spent a lot of money on poppies etc before hand. I didn't see a bucket going around and therefore didn't donate anything at the event but I did make donations for my poppies else where.
