Slight thread drift but have you seen the prohibition on charity fund raising in conjunction with a publicly financed expedition?

Supposing your exped was a long-distance cycle ride. Say it was like the Geilenkirchen to Waddington earlier this year or last. Say you get publicity and seek sponsorship for charity.

Nein, verboten.

Say I give a talk I cannot make a charge nor can I accept a charitable donation. I could possibly however accept a contribution towards expenses provided these were remitted or set against any subsistence calim arising.

Foot, aim, fire?
