x

Am at the LFGSS book club on Sunday arvo at Jacqui's if you're around there, otherwise Monday Souths is perfick, just liberated a shed load of A3 pouches huzzah!

Sol, I can sell you a card when I see you, or better still just use the paypal on the forum. I'm not sure on whats happening with monies from them, can you comment BDW?

awesome effort on the spoke card dude

just got back from yesterday's funeral and it was amazing - standing room only in the church, the weather held up just fine and some pretty inspirational stuff was said by frineds and family - a real good send off

thanks again all for all the words in the pink book of condolences- giles was pretty damn moved when i gave it to him

re the route, i will give you more dteails when i have them, but basically
think we should start earlyish, say 9/10ish
start: Parliament hill (i will give an exact spot when i think of one)
finish: eilidh site near coronet cinema
those that want to could decamp from the site to hyde park afterwards rather that too many of us taking up too much room on the pavement/road in nottinghill for too long

or a pub that can accccomdate hunderds of us!

peace all, i will give more accurate route details and timings after i chat with giles

stimpy

i'm glad it went well Stimpy, let hope the ride is as equally blessed with the weather and the good people.

There will be a couple of us distributing the cards on the day -

If peeps can't make the ride then I can pop one in the post and a donation can be made using the 'donate' button at the top of the forum

Right I've currently got about 100 laminated and cut, have stocked up on more laminating pockets and will be doing another batch on Tuesday night, how do you want these distributed to the people who are going to distribute them on the day? to be honest I would like to offload as many as possibly to the distributors before the event, so to speak.

We have a good number of volunteers but need to meet a good 20 mins prior to the ride. there is a cafe (think its monet or pissaro or something nancy) up on the left as you enter swains lane. lets arrange to meet there for 8:30 (if the ride is to start between 9 - 10am)

The plan is to sell the cards at the start and end of ride with all cards and money going to and from the Daddy, where he will sort out the charity payment.

Any left over Wayne is selling to those requesting them through the forum

i can grab a load off you tonight if you want clefty?

@Greasy I thought the ride was starting at 12pm?

@hoops I dont have them on me now and am doing the route recon ride tonight with dropout so wont be at teh C&H until late, can bring em to work tomorrow morning - unless you fancy riding down to mine?

cool, i'm easy, i don't need them tonight, but if it makes things easier for you, i can grab them from yours?
i'm fine with whatever.

clefty. There appears to be some confusion as to the start time. I have posted a request, on the main ride thread, seeking clarification.

Yeh I saw that, have just reinforced your post :-)

Donate button seems to have disappeared?

Yeh I think VB closed it last week, so we could present the family with a cheque for the charity in time for the funeral? not sure.
BDW maybe we need to just do it on the day? Or get a new paypal thingy?

i believe VB said that he was taking a blank cheque to give to the family, that the would fill in the amount once all the donations on the day had been counted, thus making things easier on both sides. so if you still want to donate, but missed the paypal, you can just do so on the day, and it will make it's way to the pot somehow.

Spags - I'm going to grab the cards off of LadyClefty tomorrow as I have a fair few that need to go in the post.

The plan is to keep it as low key as poss, There will be about 5 people circulating on the day of the ride with the cards, I'll gather the monies at the end and get a cheque to Giles later in the week after the ride.

cards have been posted to those who requested.

On the day you can grab a card off

Massive thankyou's to Murtle for sorting out the printing for free and to Clefty who not only got the laminating done for free but has spent many evenings slaving over a hot laminator to get them done

see ya saturday

Just got my spokecards.

Big THANK YOU to Wayne, Clefty and Murtle!

Great work Wayne. 11:30 at the Mozart is it!

is that the place on sawins lane??

Yeh I'm hoping its before it goes into epic hill mode...

it is.
the best way to get to it is, straight up Swains, right at the top, left, left and left, down the hill on its on your right.. it at first appears like you have done a complete loop but thats just because the houses look similar.. honest ;)

see you there ladies.

ah I know this place, my mate used to live on St Albans road. Nice cakes..!

edit: Greasy..you're funny.
