Hi to everyone,
As Christmas fades into the distance and the time of giving presents to loved ones, or even indulge in a bit of retail theraphy, appears to be fading into a memory, NEVER FEAR! because OBR has some absolutely amazing Ebay auctions for you to bid on and best of all, all the money will go to purchasing the taxi for the trip at the beginning of February.
So, here is the list of auctions, so if one catches your eye then all you need to do is click on it and bid (provided you have an Ebay account, if you don't it takes a mere 2 minutes before you are bidding away)
Some security measures to note before you bid:
> Official OBR lots will all have the OBR logo on them.
If you cannot see the logo, do not bid.
> My Ebay username is Lancsmaestro, if this is not the username on the auction you
bidding on, then it is NOT an OBR lot.
> These have not been listed as Charity lots as we would not get the money for the taxi, it would go straight to the charity. A total will be kept and all winning bidders will have their names up in lights on the blog, and also their names written on the taxi!! Nice!
OK, so here are the Lots and good luck!
1) LONG WAY DOWN BOOK - SIGNED BY CHARLEY BOORMAN!!
2)BBC COMEDY 'THICK OF IT' SCRIPTS - SIGNED BY WRITER, PRODUCER AND ACTORS PLUS DRAWING BY 'MALCOLM TUCKER'
3) 2007 MIDDLESBROUGH FC SIGNED SHIRT - 10 SIGNATURES FROM FIRST TEAM PLAYERS
4) 3 X HUGE AUTOGLYM CAR VALETING GIFTSETS
5) 2 X POLISHED PERFECTION AUTOGLYM GIFTSETS
6) AUTOGLYM AQUA WAX, A FANTASTIC NEW PRODUCT FROM AUTOGLYM
So there you go, a huge thank you to all our sponsors in providing us with these products and bid away people, the more money you spend, the better the taxi we get!! :-)

Why? Who? What? When?
Christmas! It's a fantastic time of year and personally, I had a brilliant time and I hope you did too.
The New Year has started well (it cannot get any worse than last year!) and we can now focus back on the One Ball Rally and spreading the word far and wide across the world.
Support for OBR is strong as ever but over the festive period, it has taken a back-seat in many people's minds, myself included, and I've had many people asking me what was the event about and how was it going so I thought a 2008 Review was in order.
Why?
My name is Dave Cook, I am 24 and live in Ormskirk, Lancashire. I work for Lancashire Museums in a varied role and really enjoy my work.
Last year, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer about the end of February after the removal of a cyst and also one of my balls, which has been replaced by a prosthetic implant which tingles sometimes like a personal 'Spidey Sense'.
I underwent 9 weeks of Hell, a.k.a Chemotherapy and for all its evils, this treatment surely does the trick.
I now have checks every 3 months to make sure that any tiny bits of cancerous tissue do not start to spread and thankfully, they have been blasted to nothing :-)
Who?
The OBR team is varied and stronger for it. I have a much more detailed bio of the team somewhere so if you are unfortunately reading this in its current form, I apologise and come back tomorrow for some interesting facts about the lads.
In the meantime, there is Ad Bell, Paul Ashton and Martin Pilkington and myself all embarking on a gruelling challenge of wits, determination and probably D-I-Y car repairs as we attempt to finish the One Ball Rally!!
What?
The One Ball Rally is a fantastic journey and will take us through most of Europe to reach our ultimate destination; Istanbul.
If you scroll down the blog you will find a Google Map which highlights the route we will be taking and we aim to kick-off from ORMSKIRK on the 21ST MARCH 2008.
A full itinerary can be found in the calendar below, scroll to March 21st 2008.
So, its a fantastic event, as you already know, and its about ot get a whole lot better! I aim to get regular with my posts, we have lots of behind the scenes work going on as we speak and you will find that January 2008 is the month that One Ball Rally really grows some balls!!
