We have flexible arrangements re payments
and accept cash, cheque and also credit card
payments can be made through Just Giving.
Treat yourself to a weekend for two in Liverpool, taking in a
premiership football match as well as sampling the nightlife that
this city has to bring.
You can spread the payments if that’s easier
so long as you pay!
You will be bidding on 2 tickets for the Everton v Fulham match
where you will spend the afternoon watching David Moyes’
continue to work miracles with a limited budget and watch players
such as Fellaini, Leighton Baines and Jelovic as well as Dimitar
Berbatov.

Then retire to the Novotel in Hanover Street in the city centre to
change and freshen up before hitting the town and drinking too
much alcohol, a good curry or kebab and then hoping to be sober
enough to fit in a bit of sexy time back at the hotel.
Obviously it’s best to get the
sexy time out of the way
before your husband or wife
return to the room!
A great weekend which would
set you back £200 normally.

He is the only male athlete in history to win both the
200 m and 400 m events at the same Olympics, a
feat he accomplished at the 1996 Summer Olympics
in Atlanta, Georgia. Johnson is also the only man to
successfully defend his Olympic title in the 400 m.
Aside from his Olympic success Johnson accumulated
eight gold medals at World Championships, and is
thus tied with Carl Lewis for the most gold medals
won by any runner in history.
Michael Johnson has run 200 m under 19.80 seconds
six times and he has run the distance in less than 20
seconds twenty-three times.
He holds nine of the top 50 200 m performances of all
time. Johnson has run twenty-two 400 m races in
under 44 seconds; he holds twenty-two of the top 50
and five of the top 10 400 m performances of all time.
Over the course of his career, he twice set the world
record in the 200 m, three times set the world record
as part of the 4 x 400 m relay team, twice set the
indoor 400 m world record, set the outdoor 400 m
world record once, and set the 300 m mark once.
Imagine how honoured he was to sign one of our
charity Rugby Shirts !

A LONG WEEKEND IN A WEST WALES
HOLIDAY HOME
You are a bidding for a long weekend or
midweek break at ‘Sanditoes’ in the
beautifully tranquil West Wales coastal
town of Saundersfoot near Tenby.
‘Sanditoes’ is a detached bungalow in a
quiet elevated position. This 3 bedroomed
property sleeps 6 people.
A 10 minute walk down to the beach and
the centre of Saundersfoot village, with
great pubs and restaurants serving
excellent food, interesting shops, a lovely
family sandy beach and a busy harbour
with fishing boats, trip boats and most
water sports available.
Centrally located for all local attractions
with Heatherton Country Park on open all
year, Oakwood, Folly Farm and many more
all within a 10 minute drive
The dates of your stay can be negotiated
with the owner of the property but they
have stipulated that the dates definitely
cannot be in July or August.
3 SESSIONS WITH A
PERSONAL TRAINER
When we say ‘Sessions’ we are of course
referring to Fitness Sessions and nothing
of a more sexual nature (however…for a
fee…it could probably be arranged)
The first bonus is that the sessions are not
with any of the hunks currently making up
the Fatboys committee as lycra and beer
bellies just don’t cut it.
This is an assessment and two
further training sessions with a fully
qualified personal trainer-it would
normally set you back not far
off £100.

TENNIS BALLS SIGNED BY
ANDY MURRAY & ROGER FEDERER
Below we see the usual scenario……Roger
Federer, one of the greatest players of all time
beating Andy Murray, yet another Great
British Loser, to a major title.
In fairness, Federer did take pity on the
miserable sod and allow him to win the
Olympic Title.
So, we have one tennis ball signed by a legend,
and one signed by a miserable also-ran. If you
like Tennis…then this is lot for your attention.

DYSON AMO 1 REVOLUTIONARY FAN
No, although it may look like one, this is not some form of sex
aid! It is the revolutionary bladeless fan from Dyson. The
cheapest we’ve seen these sell for online is £175.
Enjoy a pleasant cooling
breeze with the smooth,
uninterrupted airflow of the
Dyson AM01 Multiplier desk
fan.
This 12-inch fan boasts a
uniquely striking design, and
works very differently to
ordinary blade fans: using Air
Multiplier technology, the AM01 draws in the surrounding air
and amplifies it 15 times. As it has no blades, this fan is very
safe and supremely easy to clean.
Another unusual feature of the Dyson AM01 is its dimmerswitch power control, which allows you to precisely control
the amount of air dispersed by the fan. Take advantage of the
touch-tilt feature to direct cool air wherever you desire, and
let this Dyson fan evenly distribute the breeze with 90°
oscillation.

OPEN TOP BUS TOUR AROUND
BATH FOR UP TO 50 PEOPLE
Ok…you may be wondering what you can do with this one, but
think of it in this way…. You could have a team-building day or
works ‘do’ or a trip out with loads of your friends and family, a
kids birthday party or club outing…….Bus trip followed by pub
trip…getting it ?
Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Bath is home
to some of the finest architectural sights in Europe: including
the Royal Crescent, the Circus and Pulteney Bridge alongside one
of the UK's leading attractions-the Roman Baths, which have
been described as the finest Roman remains in Northern Europe.
As a renowned Georgian city, few places share such impeccable
historic credentials with the unique experience of bathing in
Britain's only natural thermal spa-Thermae Bath Spa.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights!
You will be picked up at Terrace Walk or Grand Parade in Bath
and then do back to back City Tours and Skyline Tours which will
take about 90 – 120 minutes with your own private tour guide.
This would be from a date mid-September 2013 onwards to be
negotiated with the company via Fatboys Charity Committee
member Dave Salter.
This would normally cost around £600 for a private organisation
to arrange.
