So many people have asked " Ross what’s your Cafe Racer Coffee Van page so I can like it on Facebook and boost your “Serving Coffee To Bikers In A Motorcycle Themed Dinky Van” business so we can get your ‘likes’ up and also have your address if we need you"So after all this time - here it is guys and gals - fill yer boots and “like” away
I’ve seriously contemplated buying something like this for using on those occasions when a car is necessary, however they seem to go for inordinate amounts of £££ for what they are.
Few things, I noticed your using a .org.uk address I’m not sure you can use that for a commernical business (well .org is usually used for charities and NFP companies) nothing major but might want to double check I did a quick google on it may be nothing but might want to look into it, but I’m by no means a domain guru.
Also, whens the website going live? want to see it
25% of the work I do through the van is for charidee and the site was originally reflecting that = anyway I use it for some other bits and bobs as well now.
I spoke to my main charity, Prostate Cancer UK - through there legal team and the Charity Commission and apparently as long as you don’t pretend you are a Registered Charity yourself - or fundraise directly through yourself (I don’t it all goes into the tin and I am a registered and vetted volunteer ( and tin goes straight to charity ) then using org is not a problem…dunno if there is an internet police but I have it all in writing so if someone knocks on my door I can make a bloody good argument for it!
Oh by the way I am choosing two new charidees to sponsor for 2012 so I’ll be putting a thraed out asking for suggested good causes ( and especially interested in people who are work for/or are involved with them now )
I wouldn’t say I rival Barclays Bank on the money I raise for them (and it’s a great fulfiling thing to do ) but I manage to get a fair bit scraped together over the year
