The beer fund<\/a> is at a respectable level, and I’ve had a few ideas of how to distribute it. I’ve also just had a call from the BBC, and they have asked to film any booze-up that takes place, which should help sort out the legitimacy problems a bit.<\/p>\n

My current plan is to try and get something organised for next weekend, but I still have a few problems to iron out. If anyone knows who I should speak to at the St John Ambulance<\/a> service to get some of their people along, I’d be grateful for some pointers.<\/p>\n

The easy option would simply be to donate this as a standard charity thing, but that’s not the point of this fund – it’s explicitly for a “thank you” pint or two for some of the people involved. I still need to know if this will create difficulties, as for the mainstream emergency services it can be tricky. Again – any advice gratefully received.<\/p>\n
