Would any of you be able to help me please?

I’m on the local fund-raising committee of Cancer Research UK for the Colchester area.

We’re organizing a James Bond themed gentlemen's (black-tie) evening in October 2009, and we intend to do all we can to have an evening with all the expected bond paraphernalia: cocktails, ‘bond’ girls, dinner, casino and so on...

Being a bit of a petrolhead (and a PH member since 2003) I thought we should try and do something around Aston Martin... so here’s where I’d like to ask for help or ideas please on this forum...

If any of you (and I realize I’m asking those closer to Colchester) would consider either:
  • Bringing your Aston Martin for possible ‘prominent’ display outside the venue that evening, or...
  • Be prepared to put me in touch with any friends/business contacts who might give me any ideas or the loan of a car for static display, or...
  • Any other useful ideas, sponsorship and so on?
I’d be grateful if you’d get in touch...

If we could have one or more Aston Martin’s outside, red carpets, ‘bond’ girls to greet guests etc, it would be a great way to start the evening, and I’d hope to offer guests photos on arrival alongside one or more cars and our ‘bond’ girls) to raise further monies for charity.

I wouldn’t really be able to offer expenses to/from Colchester, but would certainly be prepared to offer the first few respondents (assuming I get any) a free ticket to what should be a highly enjoyable evening.

The date will be either Thursday 15th or Friday 16th October 2009 in Colchester.

Thank you for reading this far...

If you can help, please do post a reply, or send me a PM through my member page...

Thanks again...
John

Can't help but cool idea. I can see it already. Could you get some people to dress up as the baddies, too?

Sounds like a very good idea. I've got a non-Bond Aston, so not really that helpful to you!
You could always ask Adrian at http://www.astonexperience.co.uk/index.html as he may be able to help.
