It's quick, it's easy....help the FREEWHEELERS

[AndyW]

All,
It's nearly Xmas, the season of goodwill to all worthwhile causes, and there are two very practical ways you can help Freewheelers at the moment, both at no cost at all to you:

1- BUY NEC bike show tickets from us - at the normal advance rate of £15 a day - we have some to sell, in exchange for which NABB, the umbrella bloodbike organisation of which we are founder members, have got a stall at the NEC. So if you're visiting the Carole Nash NEC show anyway, this is a chance to help a worthwhile charity at no cost to you* .If you'd like tickets please pm me & I will give you our Treasurer's details. [any tickets we end up not selling will cost us the £15 each ]
*much better than getting them through IAM central who have already taken exhorbitant fees off you [this is just my personal view, ymmv]

2- vote for us online to win £3000 from Nat West - we are one of 3 finalists in Nat West's Community Fund programme.

BUMP!...............c'mon guys, the Freewheelers do a great job and we as bikers more than anyone should appreciate their efforts (...and are more likely than most to benefit sometime from what they do!!)

Done!

Also have a decent size cheque to present to Freewheelers from Total Triumph annual charity ride in the not too distant future.

Hopefully you weren't the only one from SWB!

Hi just to let you all know that Freewheelers did win the money , so a BIG THANKS to everybody who voted for us, it is appreciated.
Also thanks to all who got their NEC Tickets from us, this helped us secure the stand at NEC.
We had a fantastic responce from the event, we had a lot of people wanting to know more about the blood groups, as well as people wanting to know how to join one of our groups, and some interested in starting new groups in area's we do not have one in yet.
As you may be aware we have helped several groups start up in the past & we are looking at helping many more.
ONCE AGIAN A BIG THANKS TO YOU ALL
