Post Simon Roe Memorial Tax Disc.

With tax discs (VED Discs) being phased out last October in the UK, many cars now have a somewhat redundant tax disc holder, so I struck upon the idea of filling this space with something we can remember Simon by, whilst supporting and donating to Melanoma UK.

The aim of this item is to generate £5 per disc sold to go to Melanoma UK. (A UK charity: 1157635 - MELANOMA UK - INCORPORATING FACTOR 50) this will be done just by you buying it, via eBay for Charity.



More details on the link below

Can I get one of these. I don't have Paypal after losing £1000 by a hacker! so I don't do eBay either.
Happy to internet transfer and include postage.

The reason for asking is that when it goes through the normal channels it's administratively easier etc - if you can't get someone to buy it on your behalf and slip them the cash to cover it let me know

Today would have been Simon's birthday, and I for one will be raising a glass.

If any one wants to donate to Melanoma UK, and obtain a disc, there are 5 discs available on the current listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271817251377 which ends this week.
