While the above is a very good cause, I see no logical reason to have it as women only. Surely they would raise even more if it were unisex. "
The thing is, I did Race for Life a few years ago and the original date was cancelled so my friend with whom I was going to be running/walking was away on holiday and I had to do it alone because my daughter was a fast X country runner and ran the whole way which was totally beyond my capabilities On the day, however, my husband stepped up to the mark and we went round together. He got a bit of flack from spectators but just told them that he was an honorary woman for the day and waved and smiled at them. I felt really proud of him and was sorry that he didn't get a medal at the end like me and my daughter.
My uncle was a mason and completely open about it and happy to tell you all about it - a bit too happy sometimes as it sounded incredibly boring and silly to me
I have no problem whatsoever with all male organisations and I hate the so-called PC Brigade but it intrigues me that there appear to be at least one or two members of this board who seem not to welcome the presence of women on the forum. It will be interesting as time goes on to see if I am subtly or perhaps not so subtly made to feel unwelcome here I guess? I promise to slope off quietly if requested as I have freely admitted from day one that I know b*ggr all about the internal combustion engine and only wanted a Zed because it looks amazing and I can learn to be a better driver now I have a great car
