Just an idea at the mo
As many of you know, both Coxy and myself are committee members of the Ben Bosworth Memorial Fund ......... for those of you who are newish, Ben was a member of this forum right from the beginning and an active member of the vw scene for many years, who sadly passed away in May 2005.
Now, it is almost 2 years since Ben left us and we haven't done much in the way of fundraising for the BBMF of late (except for the theatre tickets thing but that was more spur of the moment than well organised  )Soooooooooooo, i was kind of thinking it would be a good idea to organise something. I have looked at the events calendar and there isn't really anything happening, and on Monday 7th May it will be the anniversary of Bens passing ............ so how about we organise something on the Sunday  I haven't really thought about what perhaps a cruise and a picnic (we haven't done that before) if the weather is decent, maybe release a few balloons ......... i dunno, just think it would be nice to do something  Any suggestions .......... don't want it to be a sombre commemorating his death kind of thing ........ more of a celebrating his life and continuing to support his memory and the work being done by the fund set up in his memory So, what do you think ......... and would you be up for it

I think thats a great idea. I never met Ben but have heard a lot of good stuff about him and we'd be up for it!!
Cruises are cool and we could think of something to do while having the picnic. Also what about an added penalty if you dont turn up in a VW!!!!

That weekend is a busy weekend in the show calander as it's Big bang weekend and Stanford Hall on the Sunday.
Could organise a crooze to Stanford Hall??? Although, we tend to have a crooze down there anyway! Not sure what else to suggest?? It's a show which Ben always attended, and infact, Stanford Hall/Big Bang, were the last shows he attended.

Just a thought... you said about releasing balloons, well what about doing that thing where you buy a balloon, put your name and address on it and then let it go, whoever gets the furthest gets a little prize?
