Hi Folks

I have been approached by a woman working for a Japanese newpaper in
London to help with a corporate charity event she is organising in a few
months.  This is building up to something which I think will do our
cause a lot of good and so I am looking for volunteers.....

As far as I can tell the event will be something along the lines of
this:

Teams from London firms, including (so far) the Japanese newpaper and GC
ACTIVE (can we afford to miss this???) are introduced to less mainstream
sports.  Kayte has mentioned that the NGB of Lacrosse has confirmed, and
she even said something about Kabaddi (!).  We would be there as
specialists in our sport to give them some training.

I'm not sure how the money is raised, exactly, but presumably through
sponsorship.  It is going to the Parkinson's Disease society.  Becuase
of the nature of the event, we do this off our own backs, but I think
we'll get beer and a barbecue!

It will be held somewhere in London on a Sunday.  Proposed dates are
April 25th, May 2nd, May 30th.  I have suggested that May 2nd is not a
good weekend, due to Brugge etc, but can find nothing on the diary for
the other two dates (but the diary I checked was a few weeks old.)

Can I ask all players, particularly London based, to keep these dates
free where possible.  Potentially, the publicity could be priceless, and
the contacts made could really do our cause a lot of good.  And it's for
charity.  And besides these things, it's a great recruiting opportunity
for London based teams and training sessions.

When I have a confirmed date and venue, I will come back to you with
this.

Thanks for reading......
