Can someone please clarify the situation with regard to the Mini2 Charity Ball and Auto Forums please?

I am wondering if the financials behind it will benefit AutoForums in terms of tax relief trough charitable donations, as Mini2 is now part of the money making machine?

The Charity Ball is completely independant of all things AF with it's own bank account, no funds go to AF or through AF books.

ALL profits go to the charities nominated in any particular year.

I reckon attending the MINI2 charity ball is a chance to stick a big V sign up at Auto Forums. Here's what the power of our membership can do, it can run a whole charity event that continues to grow year on year, so F*-xcking LISTEN TO US!!!

Absolutely, the Ball is organised by the members for the members and the nominated charities

after a number of ignored emails to AF I'm still unable to edit anything Ball wise so please be aware that if you'd like to attend the Ball this year it's best to go over to totalMINI.com where you can register and I can respond accordingly. Thanks

PS - Also you can't PM me here either as my mailbox allocation is still not addressed!
