Hi Guys

I am putting the feelers out for an exciting event I wish to organise for LOC members and to raise some money for charity.


A friend and I are involved in a charity car rally, facing 8,000 miles of pot-holes, strange borders and questionable food (and probably hygiene after 8k miles!) to raise money for Save The Children. We aim to raise a minimum of £1000 for Save The Children, plus donate our vehicle to a charity called CDPF (Children's' Development and Protection Fund) when we reach Mongolia.

The Mongolia Charity Rally is a pan-continental drive across five mountain ranges, two deserts and enough barren and pot-holed roads, paths and terrain to ensure we'll swagger like John Wayne for a good few weeks after we complete the drive. We will start in London on the 11th July and our final destination is the great Mongol capital of Mongolia, beyond the Gobi desert, Ulaanbaatar, several weeks later. We are aiming to complete the rally in 3 weeks or less.

To help raise some funds I have decided to set up a mass paintball meet where members and their /wives/husband/friends can gather and have a shootem platoon fest.

We have been donated some VIP tickets (thanks to ministry of paintball) for a FULL day of packed fun with lunch, gear and guns thrown in.

Tickets are usually £25 + Cost of paintballs, but as these tickets have been donated to us to help raise some money for the kids, we are selling them for an amazing £10 + paintballs (paintballs are £10 first 100 paid in advance then about £7-8 per 100 afterwards on site) Cheap fun day out if you ask me!!!!!

This is a Full day out, Including Lunch. Location will be around mid country (they have 100 sites) so we need to talk to them about location.

If we can get some numbers of interest, and remember your mates can come too then please let us know here so we can estimate numbers.

More info on the Mongolia rally will be announced to at some point if it interests anyone

cheers
Steve

Cool

dates will be arranged once i get all the information and locations, we can then talk about dates, i reckon mid spring.

Is this the Mongol Rally that you're doing? Or a different one?

Know a few people who have done the Mongol Rally and had a great time doing it - I'm sure you'll have fun

I am doing the Mongolian Charity Rally.. different organisation, but stricter rules on vehicles so they arrive in better condition to auction off for charity.

I wanted to get an old lexus but it must have LPG and be under 100K miles, for the budget i have it is not possible

Sounds like a good day out. So long as it is not a sat. count me in!!

Can I bring my Uzi 9mm?

Just looked at their website and this does seem to have an actual cause, more about taking a quality useful vehicle than just a pile of rubbish. Why do they say you can't have anything with windows in the back?

thats right.. you can if you wish to pay the import tax. Commercial and hybrids are exempt. LPG is exempt so any car with LPG is import tax free.

interested..

Interested in this Steve, and i might be able to get a couple more to come?

Will have to get my gun serviced

depends on how much you want to win!!!

i was injured in the line of duty!!

lol

wasnt that bad tbh, couldnt get an ambulance into the forest and they didnt know how bad it was at the time so safety first

it was the snapping noise as i went down that made me feel sick!

to quote the doctor on the air ambulance, "that would prob be the ligaments snapping" and he was right!

we'll be ok.. just aim for my missus LOL

Im interested, may be able to bring a couple more too.

I am interested Steve.....depending upon date and where, should be able to bring a few other chaps aswell and can I bring the ex-wife to tie to a tree for target practice
