Gary Bloke talks to me about the ACU benevolent fund and volunteers me to get my head shaved!

We are raising money for three charities Prof Melcher's Melanoma research (Terry Windle), Prostate Cancer (Ian Johnson) and the ACU Benevolent Fund.
Please come along and laugh at me, chuck some money in the bucket and maybe buy me a drink!
Terry Windle was a fantastic bloke and although I didn't know him well, I liked him a great deal. I have included an exert from one of the shows I made with him last year.
My thanks to everyone, everywhere who helped to make this show.
