Formed in 1902 it is one the oldest childrens charity in the UK. They support children with mental and physical disabilities, however due to operations in Afghanistan the support to families due to bereavement has risen sharply over the last few years.

Over the course of 2010/11 we assisted 1600 children at an average cost of 798 per child. Of these: 49% were suffering from a disability or mental or physical illness. 40% were due to the consequence of parental illness or death. 11% due to the impact of parental relationship problems (these are increasingly due to the parents post traumatic stress) REGISTER PH calendar please add your name http://www.pistonheads.com/calendar/event.asp?i=27529 ORGANISERS Baz Firth-South West Sporting Bears Rep.bazfirth@talktalk.net Simon Wright- 'SimonJW' Track Day and passenger rides.Si Wright|sjsw@ntlworld.com Max Walker-Sporting Bears Huw Page-Sporting Bears Lorie Coffey-RNRMCF Clare Scherer-RNRMCF

  3. here you go mate http://subarutuner.co.uk/#/contact/4547032391
  4. The prices are on his site mate: "power runs charged at £45 (plus vat) and every hour after being £75 (plus vat), we are very pleased to be able to offer this service as it means we can safely tune vehicles in house, without the need to drive on public roads." He only charged me £45 as Duncan sat in and operated the dyno whilst he was mapping.
  5. Thanks for the comments, mods are just the normal fare: Prodrive Sports Cat Prodrive center and back box SPT induction kit with heatshield De cat downpipe VF35 Sti Pinks STi intercooler Uprated plugs and remap from Duncan I was just hoping for anything starting with a 3 so to get the 338.9hp was a bonus for me, had a good day as well and the drive back was rather spirited lol
  6. Hi all popped down to RPE nr Cullompton last week for an optimisation dyno with my mapper (Duncan) had a good afternoon in the sun, Phil at Rowleys really knows his stuff and had a blast on the dyno getting some figures that i was very happy with, big thanks to Petenofear for pointing me in the right direction as i used the dyno at Janspeed last year and got 220hp on the first run then 170hp on the second so god knows what is wrong with their setup, inadequate cooling is my first guess,
  7. Just to let you know the mag might need updating as i have had this reply from the service chap at Vale Motors "Good morning Baz, We do not have any agreement with SIDC ,but could offer you a discount on orders over £150.00 (ex VAT) on Subaru, Isuzu, Fiat & Suzuki parts . Because the discounts we buy at vary depending on part category we can only advise what discount we can offer on individual enquiries. Regards, Ben…"
  8. thats a great looking mag as well, very impressive
  9. thanks for the info mate, very interesting that the dealer i have asked is listed on there but they say they do not do discount for any owners clubs
  10. Thanks for the reply Rach, would you know if there are any in Somerset? if so its worth me joining ;-)
  11. Hi all i have read on another forum that SIDC members get dealer discount? is this correct as my local dealer says no way, quite confusing
  12. Hi again all not sure if you are aware of my other post on Scoobynet but in my job i recently got pinged on a Thursday evening to fly out to HMS Somerset to repair their helo and had no idea when i was getting back. Thankfully it didnt take me too long to fix it but there was a protracted period where i could not get off the ship until the bottom of the Suez. Due to that i have missed the timeframe for tickets etc and i am in no position to get the car ready and up to spec before the big day this weekend. With this in mind i have passed on to a mate who is still going to deputise in case i didnt make it back and i would like to canvass how many people form here are actually going so i can point you in his direction fo rmore details. Sadly Graeme cant make it either as he is busy swapping out conrods.
  13. he mapped mine too, and agree he is a top bloke, he will still be coming along though
  14. yes mate yourself +1 is £25, if you went on the day you would have to park with all the other 100s of cars and walk in plus pay £41 so quite a saving
