Thank you for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.

As The Master of the Worshipful Company of Makers of Playing Cards I shall be arrested at Mansion House in the City of London on Friday 21st May 2010 on charges yet to be confirmed.  From there I shall be transported by The City of London Police to be incarcerated in The Tower of London with other "felons" of a similar character pending bail.

This is part of the British Red Cross annual "Jailed & Bailed" event hosted by The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Alderman and Mrs. Nick Anstee.

Please help to "spring" me from The Tower by contributing to my "bail".  Failure to secure a timely release will only give me an excuse not to take part in The Thames Bridges Bike Ride two days later!

All bail is raised in aid of the British Red Cross and I would be very grateful if you would give generously to this wonderful cause.

 

However well we prepare for life, a single event can change everything. A house fire can leave a family homeless and with nothing. An earthquake can bring a whole country to its knees. The Red Cross believes in respect for other human beings and in meeting suffering with care, understanding and without discrimination. They care for people in their own homes and in local communities, at home and abroad, in peace and in war.

 

In crisis situations, people need the Red Cross to be there when there is no one else to turn to. This year, millions of people will depend on them and helping me raise bail for this event means that they can be there when it counts.
