I have just received this email from Hannah Marshall, Development Officer for Youth Music Theatre UK.
I am the Development Officer for Youth Music Theatre UK (YMT), a charity which runs residential music theatre courses for young people. We are holding a Christmas auction to raise money for our work. Nick Mason from Pink Floyd is a longstanding supporter of YMT, and has very kindly donated an “Oh By the Way” box set which he has signed himself.
We are auctioning this through our website and thought that readers of your site might be interested. I wonder if you could post this as a news item on your site? I've added our "blurb" about the item and the auction below, and more information can be found at
www.ymtuk.org/auction08. This is also where bids can be placed.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like any more information and please feel free to pass this on to any other Nick Mason or Pink Floyd enthusiasts you know - not only is it a fantastic item but all money raised goes to a great cause!
Best wishes,
Hannah
PINK FLOYD

In addition to the addition to the albums and their extras the set comes with a specially designed 40th Anniversary Storm Thorgerson poster featuring 40 Floyd images.
Personally signed by drummer Nick Mason for YMT.
