Elvis Lives!

If only I could work out how to add pictures... Anyway dear reader, this year my company celebrates its 30th anniversary and the Chairman decided that this year's office Christmas party was going to be one to remember. As a result, 109 of us are flying off to Las Vegas for 3 days at the beginning of December!
Not to miss a good opportunity, this indulgent trip is being linked with charity fund raising and a world record breaking attempt.
At Gatwick Airport on the 3rd December, we will attempt to break the world record for Elvis inpersonators in one place when all 109 of us, in apppropriate costume sing "Suspicious Minds". The current record stands at 72!
We then board the plane and will carry out a sponsored relay air walk between Gatwick and Las Vegas to raise funds for Rainbow Trust, a charity providing support and other services to famileies with a child who is terminally ill or has a life threatening condition . We set ourselves a target of £50,000 and we should break that - hurrah! However every little helps and if any of you want to sponsor me, please go to:

I just have to memorise the words... Caught in a trap, can't hold out...
