Part Up WithYour Cash, Please.OrLook Mum there's a loony falling out of the sky.The reasons for this act of seemingly mindless stupidity are claimed to be twofold. Firstly, there does seem to be a genuine desire to look like two large dollops of strawberry jam. This should not be hard to achieve. Hitting the ground at 500mph should do the trick. They say that they will have one of them fancy parachute things. However, despite this, the ground is very hard. Believe me, I have tried it! Secondly, they appear to believe that all of this will result in money changing hands. It could well do so but in not quite the way they intend. They are hoping that cash will be given to the Air Ambulance and Cancer Research. However once George Pettit & Sons have been paid, will there be anything left over? There will have to be a great deal, as funerals don't come cheap these days. So I will join with Andy and Laura to urge everyone to give generously to two charities close to most of our hearts. As riders we all greatly appreciate the knowledge, that should the worst happen when out having fun, the Air Ambulance is there should it be needed. Perhaps we should view it not so much as a charity supported, but as a fare paid. As for Cancer Research, there can't be many families who have not had to face up to this ghastly disease at some point. So please, dig out the key to your wallet, crowbar your purse open, or whatever it takes, and give generously. You can donate on-line by going to www.justgiving.com/teams/BritishRidingClubsCharityJump As you are reading this , it should be safe to assume that youn have Internet Access. However if you prefer, a cheque can be sent directly to Andy at Green Gorse Farm, Whitchurch Rd, Prees Shropshire SY13 3JZ
