Validation problem with antibodies - get free samples, report back, help community

Antibodyresource.com is running an interesting validation program over in the UK.
They are providing free samples of antibodies, the catch is that they would like to see if the antibody validates.
If this is something you are interested in, please contact Christian at christian.booty@antibodyresource.com
From Christian:
"The antibody comparison program, is designed to greatly reduce the time (and money) which neuroscientists spend identifying the best antibodies for their research, by testing antibodies from multiple vendors using identical experimental protocols, thus enabling a quick and easy comparison to identify the most appropriate one(s).
We have determined that the best people to test the antibodies are the labs conducting research on the specific proteins which the antibodies recognize, as they have intimate knowledge and experience of antibody-based experiments with those proteins, including an optimized protocol.
We have already procured many suppliers’ antibodies. All we need now are the scientists! So, we want to recruit labs as quickly as possible, and are hoping that members of the Neuroscience Information Framework community might be able to help either by publicizing this program or by participating directly.
If you are working on one of these antibody targets, we would love to talk to you:
