Extreme sports and charity: a match made in NASS heaven

For those of you who don't know it NASS (the National Adventure Sports Show) is a weekend festival packed full of yep, you guessed it, extreme sports. There's skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX-ing and live music - expect DJs, breaks, beats and metal heads.

We had such a laugh at NASS 2005 that we just had to come back - and I don't think we're going to be disappointed. This year NASS reaches the ripe old age of ten and to celebrate, none other than legends Tony Hawk (above) and Matt Hoffman will be demoing on the Saturday and Sunday - sure to be the highlight amongst the 20,000 strong crowd of extreme sports dudes who will be descending on Birmingham National Exhibition Centre this weekend (29th & 30th July).

Once the day is over and everyone is all skateboarded out they can leave all their heavy equipment with us in our Bike and Boards stall whilst they browse our exhibition - all about the causes of poverty and suffering and how we can work together to overcome these, sign our Millennium Development Goals petition asking for health and education for all, and marvel at our 1960's campervan (very popular last year).

Tickets are still available by calling 0870 120 0723
