Hope that's alright and that everyone is well.
Look forward to seeing you all on the 21st!!!!!!! Get those dancing shoes on!
Lots of love,

The story of "Kevin's Trekkers".

The proof copy arrived today - TrekChina0907: the story of "Kevin's Trekker's" - and it's lookin' good (even if I say so). Check out the video...

There are one or two things to change before the final version, typos and such, but it's 98% there!

Vital statistics: Hardback with dust cover, 194 lovely 8x11 inch pages, 400 delicious photos, and many more memories than you can count! And yours, madam, not for 60 quid, not for 50, not even for 40....no madam this lovely object, that would grace the coffee table of Buckingham Palace itself, will be yours for just £29.95 - delivered! The ideal Christmas present - buy one, buy two, buy half a dozen and give them to all your friends!! (Ed: that's enough selling, stick to taking pictures!)

The book will be available to buy online at the end of next week - but will cost more if you order that way. To hit the price above, we'll order in bulk. More info in an email I'll send each Trekker.

PS
A DVD/CD of all of the photos and some video clips is just about ready too. It has way more photos than the book, but not so handy to look at and might just baffle granny!

PPS
I reserve the right to round the price up by 5p!

TrekChina0907 mentioned in the NAS 'Insight' Newsletter

The NAS recently mentioned TrekChina0907 in their "Insight" newsletter. They gave us a good write up, although a small typo means that it looks like we did even more of a brilliant job than we have done! Click to here read the whole newsletter: NAS%20Insight%20article%20Nov%202007.pdf

TrekChina0907 in BP's Horizon Magazine

BP's global magazine "Horizon" - which reaches thousands of people across the world - ran a two page spread on TrekChina0907. We were delighted to get the extra coverage and be recognised as newsworthy enough!

Our hope is that some who read the article will be inspired to use the same web technology we used so successfully to keep our followers back home connected and engaged. It would be good to see what we created re-used by other worthy causes.

£95,000 !!!!!!!

Just noticed the updated home page and the sneaky announcement that we have raised £95,000 for the two charities

That's right

£95,000

Well done one and all.  Just so proud of you all!

TrekChina0907 funds making a difference

In order to help the staff and children at Newick House, TrekChina0907 funds are being used to purchase 15 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 Digital Cameras - one for each classroom. These will be great visual aids for the children and will replace the aging equipment currently in use.

Additionally, 9 electronic whiteboards have been ordered so that now each classroom in the school will be able to benefit from them. They will be fitted on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of January in time for the new school term. We'll make sure we gets lots of great pictures for the blog as soon as they are up and running.

Please keep checking the blog for news of how TrekChina0907 continues to make a difference to Newick House and very soon to The National Autistic Society as well - and let us have your comments too.
