Today the work of RAG and their associates has finally paid off as tins have started being returned in significant numbers. To date 130 tins have been issued of which 51 have been returned, around 20 of these by Sri Lankan and Tamil Soc who have raised a huge £1425.05 on there own.
Medics RAG are about to embark on some rather huge events. Firstly the RAG Dash to Edinburgh sets off this Friday morning! All are welcome for this epic weekend away starting with a hitchhike to Leeds and a party till 2am. The next days are spent in Edinburgh where collecting and drinking have been organised (medics; organised?), and after even more stuff on Sunday they’ll head back to London for Sunday evening. £70 is pretty good for a weekend away, meet outside SAF on 9am Friday and for more details of this once in a lifetime experience contact David Bonsal , and the person collecting the most money wins a holiday for 2 to Greece! The main Charity for this event in Aspire.
The following Friday (21st Feb) Medics RAG again find an excuse for a party. The ‘outRAGeous RAG ball’ is huge party to raise money for the Tsunami Appeal. Battersea Town hall will be transformed into a great venue by a ‘professional’ lighting company and a range of DJs and games. Tickets are £15.
Back at ICU RAG (which is now in the CGCU office since they nicked it) RAG Chair Chris Jackson is ecstatic at the new income and also by the fact that postgraduate Guildsman Atul Rana has arranged an endorsement of RAGs Tsunami Appeal to be sent from none other than Brian May (that’s Queen’s guitarist for those of you with no taste). Tins are still being sent out as well as more being returned and more details of the appeal can be found at the RAG website.
I’d like to send particular thanks Jeremy, a member of CGCU who (with the help of 4 others) counted a grand and a half in little more than 1.5 hours.
