After Children In Need yesterday, you now also have the chance to help someone with links to the Scooby community.
Paige is two and a half and suffers from Schizencephaly which is an extremely rare form of Cerebral Palsy.
Only just over 400 people worldwide are affected by Schizencephaly so there is no recognised Charity which means that she cannot get help from even Children In Need.
At present she is unable to speak,walk or even crawl, however she is a delightful intelligent child who has the ability to light up a room with her smile.
Her disability will continue to affect her throughout her life so she needs specialised equipment not provided by the Health or Social services (Although they do a marvellous job with limited resources).
Items required now or in the future include a powered wheelchair (to possibly attend her local school),adapted toys,housing adaptations and assessments at specialised centres.
We contacted Every Subaru dealer and as many Motor related people as possible in September with a view to hosting this auction here on Scoobynet (Thanks Simon), so here is what we have so far:
LOT#1 World Rallying 2000-2001 Signed on the front Impreza picture by Richard Burns (Donated by Prodrive)
LOT#2 Jenson Button autographed 8x6 photo standing in full F1 race gear
LOT#3 Subaru World Rally Team Extra Large Polo Shirt (Donated by Gatwick Subaru) *BID 5.00*
LOT#4 Vicki Butler-Henderson autographed 6x4 photo
LOT#5 Marcus Gronholm autographed 8x6 action Postcard
LOT#6 Subaru Gift Set of Pen/Keyring/Tie Pin in soft presentation box with wrc logo (Donated by Robinsons Rochdale) *BID 10.00*
LOT#7 BBC Top Gear Magazine autographed by Tiff,V B-H, Quentin & Adrian Simpson.
LOT#8 2 Duke Official Formula 1 Review Videos 99/00, the 00 one autographed by Bernie Ecclestone.(donated by F1 Ltd)
LOT#9 Jenson Button autographed 8x6 in car photo.
LOT#10 Subaru New shape Impreza Mug (Donated by Robinsons)
LOT#11 Vicky Butler Henderson autographed 6x4 photo *BID 10.00*
LOT#12 Subaru Gift Set exactly same as LOT#6 (Donated by Bentley's Sheffield) *BID 5.00*

LOT#17 Subaru Keyring showing New Shape Impreza (Donated by Robinsons) *BID 10.00*
LOT#18 40 (38 left)Subaru stress *****,Palm size World shape Green & Blue with Subaru Logo (Donated By Atkins Taunton) For every pledge in excess of a pound we will reduce the number available on this item.
Bids can be placed by contacting me by e-mail on scoobychaps@aol.com rather than that shown on profile please.
I will endeavour to update as regularly as possible before the end point of Wednesday 21st of November at 11.59PM (You can all concentrate on the Rally after that!)
P&P will be extra on every item & charged at cost so please bear this in mind if bidding.
Please also take a look at our Auctions ongoing on www.ebay.co.uk
under the seller name of PBartappeal.
Thanks go out to those who have contributed to the Appeal.
Happy Bidding.

By the way,the highest bidder on the Vicky items gets the original handwritten letter from her which includes the immortal "Hope it all goes well + send my love to all the Scooby boys"
Nuff said.
IGNORE THE BID VALUES ON THE ABOVE THREAD, REGULAR UPDATES ARE TO BE FOUND FURTHER DOWN THIS THREAD (2nd page now)
Cheers
Steve

Paul, you just have.
Everyone who wishes to remain anonymous can simply E-mail me on either stevec@XXXXXXXXXXXXxx(work) or sXXXXXXXXXs@aol.com (home).
Because the edit field can cause problems I am updating the 2nd reply with the bids (The entire original thread vanished whilst editing on Saturday night!!!)

Thanks Ian, I just updated it but the dreaded "iNTERNAL SERVER ERROR" which wiped the entire original posting did it again on the update reply so that's gone now.
New update section now below!

So I'm not the only VBH fan then

£15 on number 16...

I can also offer a Jordan-branded Zippo lighter - currently not available to the general public (not the one advertised on various websites).

Steve - can you add this to your list?

Cheers
Richard

ps I'm surprised the take-up is low... did you put a quick advert-link post in General? Might be worth doing...

Brilliant, you're starting to make me really proud.
Re the Jordan lighter, feel free to bid away. If we get to a reasonable figure then it's included! Either e-mail or on this post I don't mind....

Ok, last day today (had to be fairly short due to so much going on)
so if you want something get bidding.
From 8.00am to 4.45pm I'll be on stevec@slingsby.com
then 4.45pm to midnight it'll be scoobychaps@aol.com
This helps me to respond to bids & questions quicker.
Again - THANKS for all those who have contacted me or bid.
Cheers

Is it worth extending the auction by a day or two because of the bbs problems we've been having?

Neil, good shout but to be honest I'm delighted with the way it has gone and won't everyone be in Wales anyway!
Because people have bid expecting to win by midnight tonight it's only fair to keep it that way.

All done, big thanks all round.
Everyone who bid, everyone who was successful,everyone who donated items,Scoobynet for letting me do this on here (if it starts a trend you're in trouble).
I'll e-mail everyone with details once I've unravelled it all.
Will post a final total as to what I'm going to hand over "From Scoobynet" and will endeavour to let all contributors know what actually happens to their money after that.
Cheers
