Dave,
Can do all the dates so far. I would suggest the 7th would be the best to avoid the xmas and saturday traffic.
Can I also have the mail and I will see what I can do at work.
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave,
I was speaking to the community officer at work today and she said that sometimes the hospitals are overrun with presents if the taxis drivers and hells angels do the same .... Are they ok with getting more presents or is there some children homes or alike that we would be better sharing to?
Or even to a charity that distributes to the parents of the children, so the children do not know that it is a charity gift.
Just some thoughts.
Dave.

Dave i had a similar thought myself if you can suggest a childrens home etc that is in need we could perhaps go for that as well.If you check out the sidc threads on this the guys organising the southern cruise are going down that route also.So if we get enough donations etc what does everyone think ?
