6) No animal should accompany collections.
7) Collectors should carry a written authority or badge signed on behalf of the Chief Promoter.

9) No payment should be made to collectors.
10) A sample badge or letter of authority should be submitted to the Charities office before the collection takes place.
a mate at work told me she was directed not to shake her charity collecting tin in a crowded pub as it could be construed as "intimidating" people
She shook her maracas instead, which was not initimidating in the least.
would you be scared?
