Jonathan, I would have telephoned you but cannot lay hands on your number . We have got something over £3700 received from Just giving and the Europa Club has agreed to chip in a bit more so we have a healthy sum to give Carol. I would like to get this under way ASAP and wonder whether you like the idea of you and me + Sheila and possibly Ivan Shaw all getting together to make a presentation and possibly take her out to lunch at her best local pub (but giving her the option as she might not be ready for that sort of socialising just yet. I assume that you live somewhere reasonably close by, but if I have that wrong then the idea may not be so smart. I am out this evening but in most of tomorrow if you want to ring 07824 119254
Regards, David

This initiative has the agreement and blessing of Ivan Shaw.
Neville Eyre was a leading light in the Europa fraternity and all of us who met him or 'phoned him for advice, know that he was generous with his advice and willingness to help. Furthermore whenever we visited him at his modest home to deliver or fetch Europa items, he and Carol were warm and very hospitable.
You can be sure that Carol will need all of our help to get her through this difficult time, which is why this crowd funding account has been set up using the link shown below. Europa Club treasurer Nigel Graham advised me on how to go about this, but for those of you who would rather make a donation differently, please PM me and I'll give you other account details.
Nigel has kindly agreed to act as auditor of this initiative and will have full access to all records of funds to ensure that all of your donations go to the intended recipient, Carol. Any such donations received will be acknowledged and you will be kept advised of progress on this forum.
The appeal has been initiated by my wife Sheila Gray using her Facebook account.
Please give generously and also please help this appeal to "go viral" in whatever way you can.
Thank you.

Hi David,
That is excellent. I know that it will mean a lot to Carole and feel sure she would enjoy a pub lunch.
Kindest Regards
Ivan

Hi David,
Sorry to reply so late, but I got back into the house at 23:00 after spending most of the afternoon and evening in the pleasant company of Dirk Oyen. You probably know that he's the appointed Airmaster agent for Europe and he landed at my airfield, Longside near Peterhead, around the middle of the day in his Europa mono en route to Oshkosh.
He's a university lecturer in Belgium, very widely travelled, who has also motor-cycled from my old country South Africa all the length of Africa through the middle East back to his home. We chatted quite a lot, with his Flemish and my Afrikaans being mutually well understood. However I'm rusty after 40 years away, so we soon reverted to English.
Anyhow, I greatly appreciate your kind offer to include me and my angel Sheila in the pub lunch, but I hope you won't be offended if we decline. It's not only the long distance involved, but Sheila's starting a protracted course of hospital visits soon and I did state to Nigel Graham that I'd rather maintain a low-ish profile in this matter.
So please if you, Ivan and others could do whatever you think appropriate for Carole (with an 'e'), I'll be totally confident that it will be handled in the most sensitive manner. I'll try calling you soon.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Jonathan and Sheila
