pennyanne who doesn't get private use of the net these days.
Pen works for a charity, Tree Aid which runs reforestation and sustainable development projects, mostly in sub-saharan West Africa. Their major publicity/fundraising event for the year, Sculptree, is part of the Festival of Wood coming up at Westonbirt Arboretum over the week leading up to the August Bank Holiday (the website needs updating for this year's dates, but the basic information is the same).
Over the week 12 large (and I mean two to three times human height) sculptures will be created and they will be auctioned on Bank Holiday Monday. This leads to the question - does anybody know or can suggest a person or organisation who might be interested in bidding for one? Typically they go for about £2k-£2.5k, so it's probably someone who wants something for an estate (marktoy you might know someone?) or a company or public body look for a major work of art.
Notwithstanding that my wife works for them, I do think this one is a very good cause. Any suggestions in a comment or email to xuela@treeaid.org.uk (and tell her I sent you)
