Maybe some kind of hamper thing and a toy each for the nippers. What do you reckon?

Leading on from that thought, does anyone have any update on the pillion rider that unfortunate day?

Strange i was just thinking about Martin and the family and then came back on here to ask about somthing like this :thumbup:

The pillion i cannot remember her name but shes fine now remember seeing some posts from her a while ago on Facebook

Are there any plans in place for a memorial ride in July?

There seems to be a ground swell of support for the idea so the next thing is the best way of collecting the money and giving the family the biggest bang for our buck.
Paypal take fees off both ends, I.E. on donation and once the transfer of the overall sum is completed, not ideal really as I am sure everyone would prefer to have their cash go to the family. Can anyone think of a better alternative? Would setting up a Virgin giving account for this work? Would someone living nearby to Benny's take on the collection and save posting the items/cash/vouchers to them?
Just trying to work the logistics out so that EBay/Paypal go without their share.
