We are also a registered charity which mean we can avoid tax things. The final hub will look something like this.We have architects on our books who have designed it all. Meanwhile we are building an inflatable onto a pantechnicon (G.P.O. Lorry). I have also sent you a copy of my single which I hope you will like. Will contact you soon Bowie"
