A Memorial for Sohpie Lancaster

Many of you will have heard about the tragic death of Sophie Lancaster, beaten to death for being different, her story is you are unfamiliar is here http://tinyurl.com/2sg7ds - this could have been any one of us.

If you are heading to the Whitby Goth Weekend this October please take time out to visit the info stall in the Spa foyer where small ribbon roses will be sold to be worn in her memory, and donations accepted to help pay for a memorial bench and plaque to be installed. This bench is going to be placed near the Royal Hotel, close to the whalebones for those of you that know the town, looking out to sea. If you cannot get to Whitby this October and still wish to donate then you can, or maybe you could convince your local club to hold a small collection. 100% of any money raised will be going to the bench fund, since the roses were paid for by a collection last month at InsanitoriuM. This bench will cost in the region of £1600, but we hope to raise much more than that, and any funds left over will be used in reforestation schemes in the UK to plant trees in her memory. Please repost this, directing people to me if they need to know more. Bands, DJ's, Promoters, please use your mailing lists. If you have an LJ or Myspace (or anything else) please use it, if you post on any forums please do so. We'd like this to reach as many people as possible and to raise as much as we can to pay for a lasting memorial. Thanks for your time
