Looking forward to seeing you fall (only kidding of course

)
Shall we operate a sweepstake?

Marko Le Rosso · #3 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

Ian!

Thanks to Ian and the rest of the AO team for your help in supporting this madness.

As I said, would be great to have a national AO meet that day to watch me make an absolute fool of myself, whilst waving the Alfa flag!

And of course any donations, even £2 very gratefully received!

Does that mean were going to see a 'flying' victory

Marko Le Rosso · #6 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

Is there an online sponsorship form?

Maybe we should have a meet at The Hawk Conservancy Trust?

tess · #7 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

cant make it hun as we are having another brecon run that day but we will think of you...try not to fall over...

Thebossman · #8 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

Marko, the online sponsorship form (as mentioned above) is here

Why not an SC meet at the Trust before then ( I can arrange something special there) , then a national meet in Huntingdon on the day ?

Marko Le Rosso · #9 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

Just said the same on Twitter to you!

Great minds eh!

Is there a good time, next month to hold an event?

Thebossman · #10 (**Post Link**) 16-07-10

Ah sorry sir, laptop was just undergoing a system restore (bless Microsoft). I think earlier in the month is better for me than later, but let me know a couple of dates you are free.

Thanks again Mr Rep sir, I knew I'd joined the union for a reason!

I think this is fantastic, i'm only ******ed off because i dind't think of it first! Two of my favourite causes in one.
Please organise a meet at the HCT, i'm sure i wouldn't be the only one who'd show up.

Thebossman · #12 (**Post Link**) 22-07-10

Thanks Fraser. much appreciated.

At the moment, i think we're tentatively looking at a meet at the HCT on the 19th September, Senor Le Russo is currently working on this too, so the more the merrier.

BTW everyone, don't forget, all donations very gratefully received, even if only the price of 2 litres of fuel (you use that just turning the radio on on an alfa, right?!)

Marko Le Rosso · #13 (**Post Link**) 22-07-10

19th Sept is a go La Sporgenza?

Thebossman · #14 (**Post Link**) 22-07-10

Sì il signore, è tutto va

Thebossman · #16 (**Post Link**) 27-07-10

Come on people, will be a great day out and a great cause, would be great to see some more confirmed RSVP's (and some donations on the justgiving page too)

I'm making an utter fool of myself remember!!

Thebossman · #17 (**Post Link**) 19-08-10

I'll bring my shotgun

Further to my recent cancellation of the HCT meet, unfortunately, following another physio session this morning, they have referred me back for more tests as my leg problem hasn't gone away and they now believe it is more linked to my back following my recent back troubles.

Therefore, it is with huge regret, that I've this afternoon agreed with the Trust that I cannot take my place at the National, although I do think they have a replacement ready to go.

I still am very keen to do something to raise money for the trust and will put my thinking cap back on to come up with some ridiculous idea, similar to my Solent pedalo adventures last year, to do later this year.

Thanks to all those who supported me on this and I will come up with something even more ridiculous!

sorry to hear that bossman, best wishes for a speedy recovery

That is a shame mate.

I know you have been struggling the last week or so.

Thebossman · #25 (**Post Link**) 24-09-10

Thanks guys and also to Ian and the rest of AO for their support.

I'm massively disappointed and feel that i've let the Trust down but will be sure to do something for them this side of christmas.
