Well we are all working towards the same aim so if they are different it can't do any harm.

Edit to say. I notice the twgpp one charges for photo's.  I don't think the other one does but not sure if you can get hard copies anyway.  Bit of a cheek considering volunteers such as myself do all the work. It doesn't make it right calling it a donation either.  Where does the money go to? It's a labour of duty/love for me and to make money out of the sacrifices of our servicemen and women is out of order in my humble.  If I am wrong I apologise but it doesn't look that way.
