Ladies and Gentlemen
I am seeking your opinion/views/help/support for a new Idea. With the latest government cut backs to pay the bankers bonuses our UK military charities are going to suffer , but we have a new way to help. No I do not want sponsorship to ride a unicycle backwards from Lands End to JOGs whilst wearing only a pith helmet with a daffodil up my jacksy. How about a Rag Mag sold to raise the cash needed. If the mag was full of robust militarily style humour but without the military language (All blue words removed to appease the BRB (Blue Rinse Brigade) Sold to the general public for £1.50 with 0.5p going direct to various military charities, and any profits after expenses also going to charity. Sounds like a good idea? I thought so, so I tried it and had a few thousand printed. Thats when the fun started. No charity will allow themselves to be directly associated with something that is so Non-PC We can not say who we are raising money for, but we can say whom we have given money to! We have had the topic raised at Command Board level in the MOD but regulations prevent them assisting. (I love the BRB)Beer festivals are great but a sod to get into. Selling it in some Pubs work well but it is a sod to collect the cash The web site is running but no one knows about it, (Google howling hound)
Ladies and Gents let me know if you think its a good idea/suggestions.
