No, we don't have any commercial ties with Gardner, but found this vid too good not to share. 

Our friend Daniel over at Dobbins Bobbins is all about fundraising and when he came to us about this mega collab idea between four underground companies we were straight away in! Come on, let's raise some serious money for Phyillis Tuckwell hospice.    OVERVIEW OF MONEY WE HELPED RAISING FOR DIFFERENT CAUSES There's quite a few over the past decade which we never really recorded, so from now on we would like to do so on here with every charity blog post we do: 4.000 GBP for Mikey's Wish (2021) 1.800 GBP for Lucy's Bowl (2021)

Whilst we are all about PMA and positivity, news just reached us that Schubbenaas (freely translated as Ace of Commons) is sadly no longer. On the picture it's in the hands of our very good friend Dries Van den Heuvel last year. Its home, a very prolific and low stocked Belgian venue, used to be known for big commons but has been losing more and more of its Last Mohicans over the past few years. Rest in power!

Over the past few days our friend Les Bowers ran an exclusive charity auction for 48hrs on our syndicate lake. We cannot thank all of you for going completely mad for this, very humbled! The winning bid went no less than £1.800 which is simply mindblowing knowing that one single guide dog costs approx. £5.000.  Depending on Covid we might make it ourselves to the Lucy's Bowl event at Wraysbury this Summer, but don't want to promise anything. In any way, we'll support it fully in other ways than just this auction. Together with trustees Dean Lloyd and Keith Sykes...

The other week our friends and readers Jeffrey Benoot and Nick Clauw did a proper youth training weekend at the Kortemark railway pit.  We supported the bunch with a one-off Young Gun t shirt, magazine and sticker pack each.  Big smile on our faces here at the MC HQ to see the kids reppin'! #monkeyclimber #doingitforthekids
