And just look at this fine bunch of fundraisers:
New initiatives for 2004:
JoGLE, Mark Jackson, Ian Cass, Ian Cummins, Doug Jackson and Mark Welford are,
probably unwisely, riding their Honda C90 Mopeds from John 'O Groats to Lands
End, between June 12 and June 20th. Around 1000 miles on a seat the size of a
cricket bat! As I had little notice to advertise the event please pledge your
support direct to Mark on evegraham@markjackson.fsworld.co.uk or by post to
Ardnaree, Mires Lane, Newholm, Whitby, N. Yorks, YO21 3QT making cheques payable
to "Leukaemia Research fund".
..oo00oo..
Brent Chiswick will provide all chassis conversion
components and fixings to enable a DIY conversion from a 4 speed gearbox to a 5
speed, complete with a list of instructions and details of other components
needed, all for £42.50. Of this £7.50 is for P&P and the rest as a donation to
NTL. Please contact Brent at:- brent@idl-ductwork.co.uk for details. Of course
if you would like to donate more for such a generous offer, please feel free!
..oo00oo..
Brent is also offering to rent his Florida holiday
home to club members at advantageous rates along with a donation to NtL - see
offer in the member benefits column.
..oo00oo..
And just look at this fine bunch of fundraisers:
2004 Results so far:
Mark Powling knocked 40 minutes off his previous best time for the 2004 London
Marathon and finished in 4 hours 29 minutes and 41 seconds. Well-done Mark,
brilliant job! Come on now get those forms
filled in and winging their way to Mark please.
..oo00oo..
Dave Jackson will have pedalled his way from
Land's End to John O'Groats by the time you read this and might have recovered!
However as they say the jobs not done until the paperwork's finished so I trust
you have all ensured there has been a pile of completed sponsor forms dropping
on his mat to rustle about and complete?
..oo00oo..
2004 events:
Doing any club events this year? Got a video camera?
Then we need your help! The club is producing a DVD of what you lot get up to in
2004 on the road, track and not forgetting the social aspect. It will go on sale
in time for Christmas with all proceeds (Steve - or should that be profits?)
going to Nuke the Leuk.
The DVD will include a 5-10 minute feature on each of the major events:
trackdays, sprints/hillclimbs and Curborough, Stoneleigh, Spanish and Swiss
trips, Le Mans, Baywatch, Rumble, Le Sept, Brooklands National Day, and the
Caterham Festival.
To ensure a good mixture of footage we need several contributors for each lined
up beforehand, who can then lend us their tapes (ideally DV format) for a day or
two afterwards - most will be returned next day. For trackdays it is important
that it's not JUST onboard footage. As previously there will also be a separate
Le Sept DVD too
You're not shy are you?
For each segment we also need someone who was there to record a brief commentary
track once the editing is complete. That should just take an evening or weekend
afternoon and then you'll be famous!
To volunteer to submit footage of any club event that you will be attending this
year or to step forward for commentary duties please contact Nick Addison on
01235 528728 or email
nickaddison@btopenworld.com

*Stop Press* Norman Verona has found a sponsor who will donate a further £20
each to NtL for the first 60 club members volunteering to help. Come on lads,
potentially another £1200 for NtL!! *Stop Press*
Norman is still
looking for volunteers to assist with the South Yorkshire Police "Blue Light
Show" on the 1st August in Barnsley. Come on chaps, its just one day and chance
to show off your wee beastie to the grateful public! NtL stands to gain over
£6,000 so it will be well worth the effort.
If we make a good showing this could be the start of an ongoing annual event and
a nice bit of regular income for NtL without dipping into our own pockets for a
change!
No worries about parking or leaving the car as Nick Henstock's team from the
South Yorkshire area will be manning a club stand and 7 parking area.
Anyone who would like to join the fun, please contact Norman on 0870 735 0010 or
email: norman@dmservices.co.uk

Dr. John Laycock's
plans are taking shape and there is an event in the planning stage in the
Midlands around mid September with Joyce House at LRF. Joyce is responsible for
arranging an annual event involving sick children and their families. This takes
the form of a trip/party with approximately 25 families involved. The objective
is to provide a break from the 'care environment' and allow families to share
experiences in a party atmosphere. So far there are 14 cars pledged.
Email John on
doctorjohn@laycock.com to pledge your car for the day.
You may recall John is intending to organise more OFRacing charity days in 2004
but rather than selling passenger seats for donations he would like to donate
the seats to children who are or have been suffering from leukaemia or related
illnesses to assist with their recovery by giving them something different to
look forward to.
Volunteers contact John on: doctorjohn@laycock.com.

Jan Smit's plans for
his Netherlands to Santiago de Compostella bike ride for NtL in June/July (a
round trip of 5400 kms in 8 weeks!) is taking shape and support is building.
Club member Mike Chadwick is really going for it with a pledge for £250 and with
the others from friends, local business and club members brings pledges so far
to £1712.
Please get the
sponsor forms out to work colleagues, friends and family and build on the
support for Jan's trip. See http://www.westernfront.nl/lrf2004. Join the fun on:

To
enable LRF to be tax efficient, use a Gift Aid form.

It's an amazing
amount of donations that come from the goodwill between club members offering
help, advice, parts and assistance to each other from a huge wealth of
experience and knowledge. A benefit that is totally unexpected when filling out
a club membership form and then getting involved. Maybe we should have a warning
on the form to the effect that membership to the Lotus 7 Club of GB is likely to
change your life - forever! All for the love of these funny wee beasties eh!
..oo00oo..
Under Gift Aid LRF can claim tax back on any donation, large or small, providing you are a UK taxpayer. This means that at
no cost to you they are able to claim back 28p for every £1 you give providing you pay income tax or capital gains tax to cover the amount they reclaim.
If you pay tax at a higher rate, you can claim further tax relief on your Self Assessment tax return.
LRF promise "If you wish, we guarantee not to use your details for any other purpose other than to reclaim tax on your donation. We won't pass them on to anyone else, send you newsletters or appeal letters - you won't hear from us again unless you want to. By agreeing to allow us to gift aid your donation, you'll be helping to increase it by nearly a third, without any extra cost to yourself, and with our low running costs, this will go straight into research. Thanks."
And just to
brighten up your pc screen surround or anything else that annoys you, get some
 Blatchat
stickers from Barbara Swift on B.Swift@btopenworld.com. Profits to NtL.
