New Year Update

Happy New Year to you all. Things are progressing really well as far as the trek is concerned. The sponsorship money has started to arrive and all the events to date have gone great.

An update on all the events so far..

Before Christmas Brian, Chris and Peter organised a disco in the local church, which was a great success and raised over £700. Peter spent the whole night dancing and has put his back out. However, he has said that he will do whatever it takes to make the trek, though dancing from now on is out.



On Christmas Eve Peter organised a squash tournament
at his local club and raised £200. Unfortunately Brian was eliminated in the early rounds, but Paul played extremely well and a lot of people said he should have won ....




A Christmas hamper was raffled at TMPW and generated £150 for the cause. Ron Home was lucky enough to own the winning ticket!

Last weekend, at a local Dinner and Dance, over £300 was raised in the raffle.

Upcoming Events ...

There is a quiz night organised 22nd March at The Battle of Britain Club in Uxbridge. All funds raised at the event will be matched by Barclays Bank.

Thanks to everyone who has helped organise the events and raised money for the trek.
