If there are no suggestions how about one of the hospices or homes for kids with serious/terminal illness, give them a mini run in our cars? Tops down, bite to eat etc....
I can take care of any medical cover for any small mishaps or necessary specialised medical care.

Thats a good idea Ollie. Bikers often do christmas toy runs etc. Would be good to do.

Can someone nominate a particular hospital or organisation or does anyone here have a connection with any such set-up? We need at least one person to spearhead this, the rest of us turn up on the day!!

Don't think anyone thought it was, as even the Dublin Taxi Drivers have an annual event aimed at giving handicapped children a day out!!

There are indeed issues with bringing people in the car however a run to somewhere with presents on board wouldn't be an issue.
