    From SomewhereElse(tm):

    Friday 21st December:

    We have been approached by The Make a Wish Foundation (MaWF).
    This is an organisation that asks terminally ill children
    what they would wish for and then tries to deliver.

    They have been asked by Jack, a six year old, if he could have
    some motorcycles ride past his bedroom window. He can not go
    out and is unlikely to see in the New Year. The BMF has been
    asked to help.

    Although Jack lives in Slough, I have used the email addresses
    of all individual members in Slough and affiliate clubs in
    regions 5 and 6, together with the emails I have for National
    and One Make clubs. I realise that many of you may live too far
    away to be able to take part in this venture but you may have
    friends or colleagues living nearer, who are willing to go and
    support Jack and his family.

    The MaWF have said that they will buy Jack some Christmas
    presents for the motorcyclists to deliver and so all the BMF
    has been asked to provide are the riders/bikes.

    West London Harley are involved and we are liaising with them.

    The BMF Chairman, Anna Zee, will be taking part, together with
    as many volunteers as we can muster.

    The ride will meet at The Farnham Pump on the Farnham Rd, Farnham
    Royal, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 3AS (This is the A355) on Friday 21st
    December at 4.30pm. Fancy dress will bring an added smile if anyone
    can muster something up at this late stage.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING POINT STILL HAS TO BE CONFIRMED-
    WATCH THIS SPACE.

    With best wishes
    Rachel
    BMF Membership Manager

  2. It'll be dark by the time the run past the boy's window happens. Seems a
    bit daft to not have it on the Saturday.

    It comes from the Management Team of the Ducati Sporting Club
    so I trust the source, and they received it direct from the
    Make A Wish foundation, so I think it's pretty legit.

    Besides, all it says is where to meet so nobody knows
    the address anyway.

    And fancy dress is also a bit of a waste of time in pitch darkness.
    Typical BMF fuckwittery, IYAM. And Anna Zee is now their boss? Bloody
    hell. I remember when she was involved in some counter-culture biking
    organisation with Roger Willis, 25 years ago. She's come over all
    respectable since. Perhaps.
