There is a charity fundraising event next week in London, which includes an auction following a lecture. One of the items has been donated by Storm Thorgerson, and is artwork from Pink Floyd's album "Meddle" with Storm's signature.

As well as celebrating the life of the late Douglas Adams, the purpose of the DNA Memorial Lecture is to raise awareness and much-needed funds for the conservation projects supported by Save the Rhino International and The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund - both of which close to Douglas's heart in the final years of his life.

You can download a bidding form from the Save The Rhino site (no need to attend to participate in the auction), and also get tickets if you want to go to the lecture, which is on Tuesday March 11th, at 7.30pm, at the Royal Institution, Albemarle Street, London W1. Tickets are GBP15; click here to download the ticket order form, or contact Katy at Save the Rhino, 020 7357 7474.
