ok guys was just viewing a reptile forum which i frequent and came across a post that i found quite sad! so ive decided to organise a mini meet for end of Jan to help raise some funds for this girl; TAKEN FROM herpireland.com I received a mail from Paul yesterday and am only now getting around to sorting this out. Because I'm trying to get this up as fast as possible, I'm borrowing Tan's words over on EIE for this. Firstly, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to read this. I am writing to you on behalf of Paul and his family (username polrep) with an urgent appeal! At this time of year many of us are focusing on celebrating Christmas with family and friends and ringing in the New Year. Kaseys family are focusing on ways to keep her alive. Kasey has just been diagnosed with AT/RT Cancer (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor), is currently in hospital in Dublin and is in a serious condition. This is Kasey just 7 weeks ago There is no one I know who can say they DO NOT have a friend or family member who has battled this terrible illness. Kaseys family have found a way they can try to fight this disease, but treatment is in the United States and is very expensive. This is Kasey now I am appealing to each and every one of you to help Kasey by making a donation. Please remember, nothing is too small, every cent matters!. For all donations; Bank of Ireland 48 Talbot street Dublin 1 Sort Code 90-07-11 Account Number 73230149. Also, if you have anything you would like to donate for sale/auction in order to help raise funds for Kasey or ANY ideas which will help her & family, please contact Paul (Pacman), myself or get a post on the forum with your idea or item for sale and starting price. There is an auction going up in the auction section in a few minutes for a Taiwan Beauty Rat Snake with full tub setup - plug 'n' play, so get your bids in! Thanking you all in advance guys! Please cross-post to Facebook, Twitter or any other media you can use to get the word out there and generate as much support as possible for Kasey! As this is a last minute thing im not to sure of location etc at the min but should have some details by the end of next week and unless i can blag some prizes from companies itll basically be an organised daytime cruise!
there will be a mixture of basically just asking people to donate what ever they can afford and selling raffle tickets for prizes that im hoping to have donated. so far it like to thank Blackwater Graphics & Eclipse window tints who have already donated. RAFFLE PRIZES (So far) Full CAR window tint from Eclipse Tints (Excludes Jeeps & MPVS). Gift Voucher for Blackwater Graphics. Remote Control Car (donated by myself) I'd just like to thank all those who have donated and that are considering it and remember your more than welcome to bring a trade stand on the day! Thanks Dee.
That is so very sad poor wee child having to battle a serious illness at such a young age. If the date suits I will definately attend as I feel she needs the support.
thanks guys im still waiting on locations confirming so details will be posted as soon as i hear and rmbr spread the word to any other forums u frequent. Cheers Dee
I will go to this and bring my s2000 turbo,new civic project(will be its first outing)and i will sort some type of gift from paintworx to be auctioned off

Thanks to all who have donated and dont forget theres the option of a free trade stand on the day for you! Hopefully get some more before the show i will keep you posted. Cheers Dee.
Hi Dee, I have a Daily Mirror motoring column running on Jan 20 so could give this a wee plug for you, just let me know time and place assuming it will be held after Jan 20 and I'll get a story put together. thanks
ok guys location unfortunaetly are not playing ball i got a few to agree to let the show be held on their premises but they wanted me to have public liability insurance so i got that sorted and now they are looking 150 +vat for using an unused carpark so that would eat into the money raised for Kasey to approximaetly £500 which in my eyes is no good! im just going to try a few more locations and ill keep you all informed.
You would think they would let you organise for free, I can understand the insurance side of things, but for such a good cause ...
exactly mate i dont mind paying for the insurance but to start paying the venue as well fairly eats into any money raised
Was there not a guy on here owned a massive yard/ bit of land down at nutts corner and had said a while back about could be used for a car show? I know its maybe not the best of locations but might be an option? Or even the piece of land used for nutts corner market although the ground is awful around there with potholes etc
@ matt not sure I havent seen anyone yet and after holding last years show at dundrod pitts i think it has proven that dunhdrod/nuttscorner is not the greatest of locations, and you basically said it all bourt nuttscorner market lol my cars not the lowest an i hate driving there besides the market is on, on a sunday. Thanks for your suggestions any how any body else feel free to suggest places. Cheers Dee.
