to drop off some raffle tickets the reverend wants to sell on behalf of my charity trip to india and she has invited me to speak in front of the congregation on Sunday! I'm not particularly religious or owt, but hey!

I'm really looking forward to this. I am speaking about my charitable venture in order to raise awareness, that's the whole idea. I thought of what i may say on the walk home and over a cheeky whisky i had when i dropped in a pu on the way back..

How does this sound

'First of all i would like to thank Reverend claire for the opportunity to speak in front of everyone. It is times like this and even more so throughout my fundraising I sense what a true community this village has. People come together and put all of their resources into something and the sense of warmth i get from this is truly inspiring......'

^^that's the intro phase before i go into the charity ins and outs...
