    Hi everyone,

    I am going away this year to see the German leg of the WRC rally held in Trier.

    As part of going out there, it was suggested by my co-pilot that we do a charitable thing.

    We will be wearing tuxedos to and from our destination, in aid of 'Diabetes UK', and we are after any contributions which will 100% go to the charity.

    For more info, you can have a lookie here :-

    Thanks

    Nathan.

    As PM Nick, any donations will be collected after the event, not sure yet as to how we are going to collect, either by cheque or Paypal, whichever is easiest.

    Thanks again for your support.

    Nathan.

    And thanks also to Pete.

    We are hopefully going to be included in the 'Diabetes Uk' national magazine that they create, so we should get a bit of coverage [​IMG]

    Evening, Nathan. I'm always willing to give to a good charity ... and if it's one you support, then that's okay by me. As far as I'm concerned, it's a bit of "payback" time.

    Personally, I don't like the "link". As pete says, it's a long time away ... remind us nearer the time and I'll be delighted to send you a cheque.
