WOBURN SAFARI PARK

SUPPORTS

GOHELP MONGOLIA CHARITY RALLY.

On 10 July 2010 at 10.00am, 40 teams set off on this ambitious journey from Woburn Safari Park, near Milton Keynes, on the official launch of the 2010 Mongolia Charity Rally. The journey entails a 10,000 mile drive taking six weeks and gruelling terrain which includes five mountain ranges, two deserts and the vast Eurasian steppes along the way, finally ending at Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. The Mongolia Charity Rally is co-ordinated by Go Help, a UK registered charity, run entirely by volunteers.

The 2010 Mongolia Charity Rally’s aim of raising £100,000 for a variety of worthy causes in Mongolia is well on target with £50,000 already raised so far. This year funds will be used to assist vulnerable nomadic herding families who have lost much or all of their livestock as a result of last Winter’s severe weather which affected much of Mongolia.

Since the first Mongolia Charity Rally in 2008, Go Help has raised over £250,000 for good causes in Mongolia. Past and current projects include a new centre for street children and a Rehabilitation and Education Centre for Children with disabilities. To date, over 50 vehicles including fully fitted emergency ambulances have been donated.

Notes:

1. The 2010 Mongolia Charity Rally involves teams driving from Central London to the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar by any route possible The length of the drive is approximately 10,000 miles, and takes around six weeks. Teams are required to raise a minimum of £1,500 to support Go Help projects in Mongolia, but can also raise funds for a second charity of their choice if they wish. All vehicles that make it to the finishing line are auctioned to raise money for Go Help projects or are donated to suitable hospitals, orphanages, NGOs and other similar organisations.

2. The Mongolia Charity Rally’s fundraising focus for 2010 is Dzud Relief, supporting vulnerable nomadic herding families who have lost their only source of income through exceptionally severe winter weather (or ‘dzud’). The 2009-10 dzud killed 1.7 million head of livestock and left tens of thousands of families facing food shortages. The first Mongolia Charity Rally took place in 2008. Since then over £250,000 has been raised to date, and over 50 vehicles donated to worthy causes in Mongolia.

3. Go Help has worked particularly closely with Save the Children, supporting major project including the National Rehabilitation and Education Centre for Children with Disabilities in Ulaanbaatar in 2008 and a Kazakh-language education programme for minority children in the far west of Mongolia in 2009. In April 2010, Go Help donated £50,000 to Save the Children to provide support to vulnerable children through Save the Children’s drop in centre for street children.

4. Go Help is a UK charity which has as its core mission raising funds from charity events, specifically charity rallies. In addition to the Mongolia Charity Rally, Go Help also manages the Roof of the World rally, and the Mad Tuk Tuk Challenge was launched in April 2010. Go Help is the only operator of non-profit making charity rallies in the UK, and all the money raised by the teams goes directly to the chosen charities.

Lord Bath Parties at Thornbury Castle


Lord Bath Parties at Thornbury Castle.

Lord Alexander Bath arrived at Thornbury Castle on Wednesday to taste the locally grown wine. To end up partying all night with wiflets, friends and well known French landscape painter Ken Hancock and Erotic Painter Penny Griggs.

Manager Brian Jarvis of Thornbury Castle quoted.

“His Lordship was a very pleasant and friendly man, who very much resembled the Greek god Dionysus. His entourage were a very colourful, artistic and extroverted group of well manner people.”

“I believe Lord Bath enjoyed the food and many bottles of fine wines we had to offer, as they were happily contented to the late evening.”

Lord Bath is a colourful aristocrat and custodian of the fabulous Elizabethan Longleat Estate. His polyandrous lifestyle and "wifelets" have been the well publicised unusual lifestyle of a British Lord. A painter whom studied in the ateliers of Paris he used his talents to decorate the walls of his stately home with his own vibrant erotic brand of graffiti. A painter, author, poet and musician, Lord Bath, has become the most artist and famous Lord of the Longleat Estate.

It is believed that Lord Bath drank many bottles of Thornburys home grown wine, till the early hours of the morning. Thornbury Castle currently has about half an acre of Muller Thurgau vines growing within the castle walls. The walls provide protection from damaging winds and create a unique microclimate that aids the growth and ripening of the grapes. There wine is produced by Three Choirs Vineyard in Newent, Gloucestershire and is sold in Thornbury Castle’s restaurant. It is a medium-dry, white wine and brand amongst the large collect it has to offer dinners.

Guests of the Castles reported that French Landscape Artist Ken Hancock and Erotic Artist Penny Griggs, had presented one or two of their paintings for the castle, for there hospitality. And even thou they were up quite late, they had been very welcoming, joyful and pleasant to people whom stumbled upon there very merry party.

Brian Jarvis quoted.

“Ken Hancock has always been very reclusive, so we are very honoured to have his presence at Thornbury Castle. I believe he is the only member of La Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris since Henry Moore in the 1950s. We are a great fan of his work.

Penny Griggs was a very vibrant, charming, free spirited young lady. Who is a very talented young lady. Her paintings were very colourful and explicit, and I can see why Lord Bath is a fan of her work.”
