Things have been a bit hectic lately for us in the FI department so I apologise for not completing this update sooner.
We did have a bit of a scare last week as Steve Quinn and Mark Wittcomb looked as if they might have to withdraw from the challenge due to operational commitments! Seeing as Steve is the only one that can read a map (well, that's what he tells us!) we looked into alternative dates so that we could keep the team together. After much hard work by Su and Elaine they managed to get the accommodation and mini bus re-booked and we will now be attempting the challenge on the 27,28 and 29 of May. The only down side to this is that we will now be attempting the challenge over a bank Holiday weekend and any time spent sitting in a traffic jam may jeopardise our chance of completing the challenge within 24 hours. On the plus side Steve and Mark have promised to treat us all to a slap up meal at the Oakley Arms Hotel after we complete the climbs!
Shane Blampied has had to withdraw from the support team due to medical reasons and Carlton Kerr has kindley volenteered to step into his shoes.
Its been a bit quiet on the donation side of things with nothing to report for almost two weeks, then in the space of three days we recieved £65 worth of donations. A big thank you to Pat Jones, Ann and Peter Godwin, Alfie Say, Gavin Cowan and Clive Gregory.
This takes the funds raised up to £638 plus £171.49 in gift aid making a total of £809.49! With the sponsor forms that are out and about and further promises of donations we are confident that we can exceed £1000.
