We know that many of you have been wondering what will happen to
ThePolice.com now that the band has completed their hugely successful
reunion tour. We are pleased to tell you that ThePolice.com will remain
online as the band's official free-to-access web presence. We have
decided to leave the Community area online and we will be making this
whole area free for anyone who wishes to join and post, including the
virtual ticket material. There will be no further membership charges to
access the site and no termination date imposed to existing
memberships. In addition, for the next three months we'll pick three
new members who have subscribed in the previous month at random and
each will win a copy of the Police.com fan club DVD.

When Sting was back home in Newcastle recently he signed one of his Fender Precision Signature basses and this is currently being auctioned to raise funds for Acomb Court Residential Care Home in Hexham, near Newcastle. This is a really worthwhile cause and provides Sting fans with the ideal opportunity to get their hands on a fantastic Christmas present for either themselves or a loved one!

The Japanese Fender is Sting's signature model and has been donated by an anonymous source with the purpose of raising funds for the residents at Acomb Court. As an exceptional addition to the guitar, Sting himself signed it on his visit to the region this month.

Angela Bews, Manager at Acomb Court said: 'We were delighted when we found out about this very exciting donation. We always ensure that the residents have plenty of activities and trips planned throughout the year and this generous donation will enable us to do this even more this year.'

The guitar will appear on eBay from the Friday 28 November and will be auctioned for two weeks. The guitar will be set at a guide price of £600 and comes with a soft case and a certificate of authenticity.
