Short notice but can you make it?

I have no idea if this is in the right place, but it IS bloody short notice and is ( IMO ) well worth supporting if you can..



Matter not how you feel about the bmf or any other organisation.. its all about trying to give a kid a big special Christmas pressy that might just ease the pain for his family a little too.


This is from Rachel at the BMF:

FRIDAY 21st DECEMBER 2008 -


Hello everybody, hope you are all well. Please excuse the BMF for contacting you this way, especially if you ticked the "no" box, but we felt that this was a slightly different circumstance and I am sure you will understand.

We have been approached by The Make a Wish Foundation (MaWF). This is an organisation that asks terminally ill children what they would wish for and then tries to deliver.

They have been asked by Jack, a six year old, if he could have some motorcycles ride past his bedroom window. He can not go out and is unlikely to see in the New Year. The BMF has been asked to help.

Although Jack lives in Slough, I have used the email addresses of all individual members in Slough and affiliate clubs in regions 5 and 6, together with the emails I have for National and One Make clubs. I realise that many of you may live too far away to be able to take part in this venture but you may have friends or colleagues living nearer, who are willing to go and support Jack and his family.

The MaWF have said that they will buy Jack some Christmas presents for the motorcyclists to deliver and so all the BMF has been asked to provide are the riders/bikes.

West London Harley are involved and we are liaising with them.

The BMF Chairman, Anna Zee, will be taking part, together with as many volunteers as we can muster.

The ride will meet at The Farnham Pump on the Farnham Rd, Farnham Royal, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 3AS (This is the A355) on Friday 21st December at 4.30pm. Fancy dress will bring an added smile if anyone can muster something up at this late stage. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING POINT STILL HAS TO BE CONFIRMED- WATCH THIS SPACE.

With best wishes

Ditto on the "during work hours" thing.
