Hi Tim,
Not me mate!!
Would never hint - would just come right out and demand instant action!!
I am getting hounded by all the lunatics that participated and those that just don't believe the stories they have heard!!!
Andy-T.

Just been through the photo's, reminded me so much of the excellent weekend.
Bathtub, I note you may well have 24 inches of clearance from tree stumps next time you're off roading in that neck of the woods.
I am expecting FAR more clearance from our car, it may well be into hundreds of miles :lol: :lol:

Dear all,
I think it time to give you all a little background to this years Baskiville Challenge and also todays most important engagement in Glasgow!
When Tony asked me to organise this years event I said no, when he asked again, I said maybe, when he asked me a third time and towered above me with that look in his eye you would just not want to cross - I said well ok then, why not!
I then had to persuade the rest of the team to buy into my foolishness and this proved easier than I thought - thank God.
Now to the tricky part - Tony wanted to pay us for putting the event together and in the true nature of all the events we do we said no!
Tony was not happy!!!
My thoughts - tough!!!
However we did reach a compromise that pleased both of these difficult parties (unstoppable force meets immoveable object) as follows:-
We would under no circumstances accept any money for arranging this event.
Tony would make a donation on behalf of the organisers, marshals & competitors to a charity of our agreed choice.
OK - so if we screw this up big time and it all falls apart, not only do we have a pile of unhappy competitors, an unhappy Tony, but also we put any donation to a charity at risk!
So no pressure then!!!
Nobody was more relieved than me at the end of this years Baskiville Challenge - that's for sure!!!
The feedback on the event appears positive - lucky or what!!!
So to todays little trip into Glasgow - a pleasure indeed.
I visited the Glasgow offices of The Childrens Hospice Association of Scotland with the most wonderful of duties - to present them with a cheque from all the competitors of this years Baskerville Challenge, WAB, SWCC, Organisers & Marshals to the value of £1000!!!
They were overwhelmed and delighted to recieve this sum, without any warning and especially at this time of year - asking that I pass on their most sincere thanks to all.
I would also like to add my thanks personally to Tony for making this possible.
The world is a better place because of Tony Baskill.
Andy Thomlinson,
On behalf of all those involved in the 2007 Baskiville Challenge.

Excellent, it couldn't have gone to a better cause, thank you Tony, Andy and the rest of the team who obviously parted with their own money in order to put on this event. Well done and a Merry Christmas.
SB.

Well done to all the nutters who attended the Baskerville and contributed to such a worthy cause !!!!!
I've just deleted a sh&t load of stuff on this thread about fuel duty etc that HMRC take off us for having the balls to do these events !!!!
