It is a bit of a rum do!

In fairness though most of the air ambulance charities drag in personalities to further enhance their money making .... some they pay for - some they do not. Looking back over the well known faces involved with TAAS there are sports players and minor Royals as well as those expensive dancers.

If the event had gone well we may never have heard about the £100K losses in the first place and this will not be the first or the last such event to fail.

I see that the AAA Trustees have decided to suspend TAAS membership pending the outcome of the renewed Charity Commission enquiry.

Clearly supportive and pulling together!

No matter how this goes I suspect that TAAS will never rejoin AAA again. I recall the AAA CEO telling me that it took superhuman efforts to get them to sign up in the first place.
