    Cheers for the update Bill.

    I think that settles it then, let's raise money for The Cardimyopathy Trust:

    All can buy tickets. I'd say £10 per ticket. To allocate, we'll keep copying and pasteing a list so we can all see each others numbers. To draw the number, last time we used the last three digits of the top Premium Bond number for a given date. If nobody had it, then he next down, and so on.

    If we get enough parts, 2 builds could be on the cards!

    When things get moving, I'll make a new official thread. Then spread the word!

    Sounds top notch, something to support.

    No responses as yet regarding trail naming so I'm going to try the Bristol trails group who do the building at Ashton Court, see if theres owt that can be put in place here

    Getting parts of Ashton Court/Leigh Woods, should be plausible. I'll PM our club chairperson this thread and see what she says.

    I know I can't - I'm setting up a rally in Wales. Friday night though, I'm raising a glass to the man.
    How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

    I can't be there sadly as my minion is off on Friday, so I have to hold the fort. Shame as I know where St. Luke's is!
    I'll be in the pub on Friday night and shall get my friends to raise one to him as well.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
