AMP3 Charity Trackday!

It's back!

Some folks will have heard me muttering about looking at an AMP3 Charity Trackday again at the weekend. Well, we're gonna do it, but we're looking for a concensus about when.

First dates KH can give us for a Friday are in September, which I feel is a little far off. Leaves us with a dilemma though. Another date we're looking at is July 9th (a Wednesday) which creates it's own issues. We will be having a party again chez Andy G but might not be such a goer on a School night. Hence the poll above. It'll run for a week, so get your opinion in.

For those who don't know about the AMP3 TD - we (Advanced MP3 Players) organised a trackday last year, with the help of two of our suppliers - Sony and Archos. This meant we charged a small fee for the TD which went to charity in it's entirety. After corporate matching, we made well over £4000 for Breast Cancer Care last time round. Nothing is set in stone yet, but we're hoping to have the same sort of format.

This time, after talking to Katrina Hoy (Lawrence's widow) the proceeds will go to Marie Curie Cancer Care - who helped Lawrence greatly in the most difficult of times.

So, get voting and we'll get organising!

Won't be that, I'm afraid - they've got nothing till the end of September (confirming dates as we speak)

Cheers Shug

Guys meant to say a massive thanks to everyone who took part last year - we actually raised £5k in the end :D

Also, anyone with a company that might be interested in being involved please get in touch - all the proceeds are going to a great charity, and we'll do all we can to make it another epic event
