22 Sept 2005	Professor Kayoss van has been lost to arsonists Professor Kayoss' (Des Kay) van was torched just after he had finished a green environmental kids show a few weeks ago. He had just loaded up his van after the show and was ready for the long drive home when he left his vehicle for a short while to take his son to a nearby park. When he returned the van was ablaze. His clothes, costumes and bike was destroyed along with most of his sons toys. Fortunately his Amazing Cycle Powered Answer to Everything Machine, the main part of his act, was saved by firemen. "The fire brigade, which arrived promptly, managed to retrieve my livelihood The Answer to Everything Machine before the van exploded within 10 minutes. My costume, clothes and bike were burnt out." We need a new vehicle before the new season arrives next spring. Not only is it used by Prof Kayoss, but it is used extensively in our community mosaic work. We need about £4,000 on top of all our fundraising, so we are looking for a van, loan, or financial help and would appreciate any donations. Des is hiring a van until the money can be raised to buy a replacement. News link If you think you can help in any way, phone 020 8974 8608

Having arranged beforehand that he could park his bicycle in Downing Street, little did they realise that he would be arriving on one of his famous display bikes! Unfortunately he couldn't padlock it on the railings outside No.10 but it had pride of place just inside the main gates. The evening reception, hosted by the Right Honourable Tony Blair MP and his wife, Cherie Blair was the first to thank and celebrate extraordinary people who work for their environment. A hundred invited guests had the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister and talk about some of the environmental and green issues facing the country today.
