Hannah thank for your offer

Various people are organising different events all are unpaid volunteers and gladly fit this in with all the other things they have in their lives

I'm not one of the organisers but I have the most time available so if you could please PM me a copy I'll confirm for you and check communication channels

Thanks, Nigel

are they all future criminals ?

All the criminals seem to have fuzzy faces on pictures and video that I've seen.

It's to protect children from dodgy buggers on the internet

Is it the Kimbolton show you are planning to do Hannah? I've dealt mostly with Nigel for getting myself on this one but the main organiser is Felicity (Boo) Grant who is notoriously hard to get in touch with though she does reply eventually - very busy from what Nigel has told me.

If it is Kimbolton I'll look forward to seeing you there - really looking forward to it now!

Thanks Tony - I'm passing the message on to Boo (if I can get her) you know what they say if you want something doing give it to a busy woman

At the risk of being serious for a moment, the need to do this really upsets me as
these children smile a lot and have fabulous smiles

I agree it's stupid to do it and doesn't benefit anyone and on the chance that sicko's would browse a motoring forum for pictures of kids seems taking it to the extreme.

Opened up the newspaper today and look there - a beautiful baby competition with double page spread of about sixty babies none of which have their pictures blurred.

PC correctness gone wrong.

I agree but tremendously sad that it should even need to be thought about or thought necessary

On a much lighter note that Lancia was even better in the metal lick and Mrs Beer is taking bookings for her cords hehe :lookingoutforbitsofplastichittingmyhead:

in reply to the title, YES IT IS!!

i've taken part in the dream rides at the Kimbolton show for 4 or 5 years now (including passengering with Nigel when he had his Griff!) and it is awesome fun! beneficial for charity and relatively inexpensive for the enjoyment you get from doing these rides. everybody benefits!
i will be there again this year doing a few more!

James as always thanks for your support

Wonder if you'll notice much difference when you go out in the Copen or GT6 rolleyes

I'm sure I can make those rides interesting too
