Correction, I started the raffles, we had one in 2007 at our Xmas bash, and Gill has helped enormously and done a great job helping out since she and Mo joined.


The organisers of UK Crossfires have funded the group from their own pockets. Some very kind members have also donated funds. There has never been a committee. In the early days I organised everything with help and support from help from Ken. Over the last 2 years, due to growth in numbers and the increased burden on time and money, more individuals have stepped up to plate, without whom it would have all gone the toilet. This includes the website which has been created and hosted by one of our group free of charge. No committee - just folks who happy get stuck in to make it happen.


No one asked us to buy banners and prizes because they didn't have to. It was done by those committed to the group voluntarily. Currently we are out of pocket to the tune of 100's of pounds, and we are quite happy with that because you only get out what you put in. For me it has been the enjoyment of seeing the group grow from the 5 or six cars when we first met, to the 430 members we now have, and all the great friends made along the way. From that first line - up, just Ken and I are still about.


It is apparent that some folks here are suspicious about how the funds were used. Please call me on 07954 685 044 to discuss this.
