Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I apologise for posting this thread in this section. I have tried to PM a moderator but for the life of me cannot figure out how.

 

I am messaging to enquire about the website's position on advertising a charitable effort.

 

In April 2011 I will run the London Marathon in a bomb disposal suit, the same type you may have seen in films such as 'Hurt Locker.' I am running the marathon in aid of ABF - The Soldiers' Charity. This is the British Army's official charity.

 

Whilst I realise this is of course a website dedicated to the 300zx (a car I will own one day), I would love to be able to create a thread in your 'General Discussion' area about the challenge. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who would offer their support.

 

All donations made are given in their entirety to the ABF. I take no subsidy for equipment costs. No profit is made whatsoever.

 

If you require any more information or clarification then please feel free to ask. I look forward to your reply.

 

Many thanks and kind regards,

 

John Bedford.

Thank you for the enquiry have checked out your website and seems like an interesting challange to say the least, as you say this forum is for the 300zx z32 model...but i will mention it in the moderation section for you

Just a little update for you, This is being looked in to and we are debating having a set section for such requests on the forum :D

 

I will let you know the outcome shortly

 

Chris

Thank you sir, I realise that it is an odd request and will require some consideration.

Hi John

 

Firstly thanks for being so patient while this was considered :) not only did we consider your enquiry on an individual level but we also wanted to sound out what the best procedure would be for similar future requests.

 

Your cause is a worthy one and i hope you get the support you need!! However the decision has now been made that any member making such a charitable request should, be a Subscribed Member on the forum as well as being along standing known member and must further Pm there request to a mod or committee member for individual consideration. We feel this is the best course of action for such enquiries in the future for various reasons.

 

Although I fully admire those who get involved in charity work or donate money to good causes... not all are in a position to do so, we have to remember that it is (in part) because the public no longer has as much of a disposable income to keep giving many of whom are struggling with rising prices/unemployment etc. It's unfortunate but that's just the way of the world at the moment with the economic climate and what not.

 

I hope this is understandable and again wish you all the best with your event :thumbup1: i wanted to get back to you on this but a note will be placed in the members section regarding future requests

 

Thanks

 

Chris
