Ladies Driving Challenge....anyone? 20th March

[Honda_Star]

I am considering taking part in this...any other ladies interested in getting a group together?

Get your heels on our wheels! Picture yourself behind the wheel of some of the most challenging and unusual vehicles you'll ever dream of driving - anything from a double decker bus, or a fire engine to a milk float or JCB!!!

It costs just £10 to register for the event, and all ladies are asked to raise £100 in sponsorship. Hopefully £30,000 will be raised, which will fund 1500 hours of nursing care for terminally ill patients in their own homes.

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families. In addition to providing highly-valued nursing care for the patient, Marie Curie Nurses are also there to give emotional support and advice to the family. Marie Curie Cancer Care depends on the generosity of the public and they really need your help [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Important note:-(Please note the link shows the wrong date on it for Wiltshire - please rest assured the event is on the 20th March and not September 5th)

I wouldn't mind having a go.
It is open to non-females, isn't it?

[Bonnielass]

I am definately interested. Let me know if you decide to do it and I'll get booked in and start raising some money!

I think the answer to your question, Thorkill the Tall is in the heading! [smiley=wink.gif]

They use my (well when I say "my" I mean in the respect I work in air traffic control there) airfield for this. I saw some of the vehicles last year turn up and have to say I wanted to have a go so so much!

Good way of raising money, and I am, sure if you all turned up on your bikes they would let you have a blast about too ;-) I know I make use of it when I go into work on the bike!

What is in a name?
They can call it whatever they wish (within reason) but I have an inkling they might have to conform to this:

Obviously none of those, but I guess you already knew that.
I reckon it might be covered by this:

Sex and gender equality
Unlawful sex discrimination is when someone is treated unfairly because of their gender. Women, men and transsexual people can all experience sex discrimination.

In which case, it might be time to try a little of this:

Discrimination and your rights
The EHRC is responsible for upholding the rights of individuals and tackling instances of discrimination. The organisation Community Legal Advice has produced a leaflet that provides guidance on your rights and how you can challenge discrimination.

Anyway, why would I want to sponser an activity that is so blatantly discrimatory?

Just out of interest, aren't the administrators of this forum bound to remove posts that promote discrimination?

Sometimes but mostly just posts which blatantly troll threads especially the threads for good causes.
