An appeal for help from SlowPhil

I’m SlowPhil and here on the Internet I have many friends, some I know in the analogue world but most only through the keyboard. Most of you, in the UK but also lots in Europe and some even further away, well now I need your help.
The biggest most common interest among us is racing, bikes, cars, Karts and of course Sidecars, we have done it, we have helped others do it and we have watched it with passion and with commitment. It brings us a sense of purpose, of direction and ultimately a true sense of belonging.
Every thing that happens to us in real life is reflected in the race paddock, people get old and retire from work just like we get old and leave active racing. But unlike the ‘real’ world we also get hurt quite frequently, I myself had a crash this year at Darley Moor and my passenger Lady Sidecar and team mate Paul ‘Batty’ Bateman came off slightly worse at Cadwell park just a month later.
My point is that we as a group have probably spent quite a bit of time injured and for some a considerable time in hospital. Three months ago I started working with Leighton Hospital Radio near Crew in Cheshire as a presenter to try to give something back.
Radio Leighton was set up in 1966 and has undergone many changes in technology since then, All equipment and running costs are met through charitable donations, I and all of my fellow presenters give our time free of charge.
I’m presenting a show featuring ‘Swing and Big Band’ music here, Christmas Day, New Years Day and would like you to please help me buy a new CD deck for the studio; this will help me and all the other presenters to produce even better shows.
If you’re at home now and your life isn’t to bad, please spare a thought to all the people who are stuck in hospital today.
The deck costs £350.00 and I would ask you please to give any thing you can afford at: https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/SlowPhil
All of us from SideCar Radio and the Swing Show here at Radio Leighton would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous, safe and fast 2016!
