Introduction

Hi, thanks for visiting One Ball Rally and I hope you enjoy your stay!
I have organised this event in order to raise awareness primarily (if you are male, check your balls right this second for any growths!) about testicular cancer and also to raise a bit of cash for the Association of International Cancer Research, who carry out sterling work to combat this terrible disease.

We now have a full bio page of the One Ball Rally Team which you can now find here http://oneballrallyers.blogspot.com/

The party has been organised by the OBR Team to thank the people who have helped them through the past few tough months of planning, emailing, ringing, sponsoring, driving, welding....!!

As a result, its going to be a FANTASTIC party and many thanks goes to the team at Revolution Preston for helping organise the whole event, have a look at their website for details on what other great events they host:

There will be:

* A vast array of cocktails, and I believe every alcoholic drink under the sun!!
* A Vodka Ice-Luge - an ice sculpture which will have vodka poured down it!!
* Our own private room and DJ.
* One Ball Rally-themed decorations all over!

If you want to be part of the action, we have to insist that you accept the invite we have sent so that the bouncers on the door will let you into the party arena :-) If you want to bring people who are not part of the OBR Facebook group, firstly ask why the hell aren't they?...and secondly, send us an email and we can add you to the list, or get them to request an invite! Feel free to invite as many friends as you want, the more the merrier!

So, go and spread the word, get your friends involved and make it a great night out and hope to see you there!!

Picking up the Taxi


It was a great laugh picking the taxi up and Sean was really genuine
and had to put up with our inept financial bartering!!
If you're reading this Sean, cheers mate and nice photo!!

WE HAVE A TAXI!!!


That's right everyone, as you can see we now have the Taxi which will take us on our merry way to Istanbul!
It has always been the main item of the trip and one which has taken the most effort in organising, as we couldn't afford the taxi with the funds we have together so a bit of fundraising was needed, which resulted in £170 being raised from the Ebay sales listed below!!

So we had roughly £700, with money coming from the 'Jingle Balls Quiz' which took place at Edge Hill University and also the Ebay sales, but a lot of taxi's were going for well over the £1000 mark so spirits were low as the start date of the One Ball Rally grew ever closer....
BUT THEN!! a chance browse of Ebay resulted in a taxi being located nearby in Lytham St Annes, MOT and Tax'd and looked exactly what we were after. I had a feeling, don't ask me what, but a feeling that we had waited for the right taxi and here it was!
We knew we had to act fast and a message was sent to Sean, the owner, telling him all about the event and why we were buying the taxi and then we had to wait for his reply.....
7 hours later we had the reply....he was more than happy to support OBR, thought it was a fantastic event and would do a deal for £700 straight up!!!! OBR HAD WHEELS!!!

Money changed hands on the Saturday, and then we had to test the taxi out so what better way than a trip to Oxford to show off to fellow One Ball Rallyer, Paul Ashton.
It was a 450 mile round trip and she took it like a dream.
Now all we need is a name and if you look over to the left, you can help us out in this department...

Thanks for all your support and don't forget to get in touch if you can help in any way possible.
