Trev, with only a day or so to go till times up....any idea of the total amount to date?  i'm so hoping everyone's managed to come together and find the amount needed!

Hat's off to those that have taken it upon themselves to do this and give Pepi what he deserves! 

fingers crossed Trev!

I sent in a $300 donation from the Jenkins family yesterday. I rode with Pepi back in the day, he was a great rider and a great person. I am sorry to hear of this loss to our community.

Rest in peace my friend you will not be forgotten

Just to update you all....we now have enough money to pay for all the funeral arrangements.  We should have a funeral date tomorrow but things have been somewhat complicated since there is an inquest ongoing and the DC in charge is on paternity leave.  Piers (who together with his brother Hugh have helped enormously to make this happen) spoke to the Coroner (or someone at their office) today and they hope to confirm when the body will be released tomorrow.  It may be the case that the funeral wont be 'til next week since we thought the inquest was over.....it isn't.  The funeral will hopefully include a service and since Pepi had no family (bar a cousin he'd lost contact with) the vast majority of the church will be available for the many BMXers Pepi befriended over the years.  Obviously we'd like to see a good turnout without overcrowding the church, so we'll try to manage things as well as possible to achieve this.  I hope that somehow Pepi can see what so many people have done for him - he'd be overwhelmed.  I can't thank this board enough since without your help we'd have been well short of of the money needed.

I'll be there Jamie. Well done for everything you guys have done to acheive this fella.

Donation sent via PayPal.

Well done fellas raising the funds for this.

[Trev]

I would personally like to thank everyone who has donated so far. 

I've already mentioned Andy Rufell who has made a nice donation.  But special mention has to be made to another one of our Stateside residents.  Ross (tricknuts) has also donated a large amount and deserves special thanks for his outstanding generosity.

Thanks to everyone else who has chipped in too.  You've all done a tremendous job.  You should all be proud of yourselves.  It brings a great sense of togetherness within our "small" community.  I for one am proud be part of a fantastic group of friends. 

[The Burner King]

Only just read all this, very sad news, Paypal on its way.

RIP Pepi.

thanks Dan.

was a lovely turn out today. was a good mixture of old and new school riders there. the majority there were riders as you all know pepi didn't have any family barring a girlfriend and one cousin.

amongst the mourners were names like Billy Stupple, Dave Young, Mike Canning, Dennis Wingham & Zoid.
Other RAD members included Radhab & Steve 1275.

Big Props to Jamie Cameron & Piers Chapman for making this happen.  On their behalf, I'd like to thank every single one of you that contributed towards making sure that Pepi got the decent send off he deserved.  You've all done us proud.

Nice one Denny.... You seem to have a great stock of video footage... Keep 'em coming mate. 


That second one, jamming with the rad lads, i remember seeing that on TV accidently and recording it.  I watched that so many times but had completely forgotten about it.  I was even sad enough to record that cheesy background music and rode to it once at a UKBFA contest....
