CAROLS IN THE BARN
was held on 22 December 2009 a few days after the first
snowflakes had fallen. It was an extremely crisp and white
evening and traversing the icy yard was extremely treacherous.
Little did we know at the time that it was the only the first
snowfall of winter! The cold weather added to the seasonal
atmosphere and the evening was extremely well attended. Many
thanks to all who assisted with the preparations. The amount
raised for CLIC Sargent (including donations) was £1,025.21.

Well here I am.... I made it in 4:12!
Well, I managed to get around in one
piece despite the added challenge of a very hot day down
in London! I did also manage to beat Ronan Keating and
Katie Price, but I don't suppose that is too much to
shout about is it!
I ran the whole way and didn't 'hit the
wall' which was most pleasing on my part! It was a
fantastic spectacle to be part of although not one I
will be expecting to ever do again! I really enjoyed
three parts, crossing Tower Bridge at 11 miles and
feeling good still, the wonderful support of the crowd,
it really was overwhelming at times and of course
running down the Mall to the finish, breathtaking! Not
that I had much to take by that time!
With the support of so many of you,
incredibly I will expect to have raised more
than £1,800 for the CLIC Sargent charity. I expected
this to be very tough, tougher than the race itself, but
it has been a great privilege to reach this figure for
such a great cause and for me, one that does mean a
great deal to me, thank you all so much.
Cheers
Chris

Fourth
Annual Granny Trek on 26th April 2009 for Children’s Hospice
SW
The
fourth Annual Granny Trek for Children’s Hospice South West was held at
Charlton Farm on 26th April and was a resounding success. Six
hundred walkers took advantage of the fine weather to tramp through the
bluebell woods and those tackling the six miles found the new route through
the Tyntesfield Estate most enjoyable and far less taxing than previous
years.
It is
hoped that last year’s total of £38,000 will be surpassed and huge thanks
are due to the Rotarians of Bristol Severnside who do so much to help with
the organisation and manning of the walks and car parks. However, even more
gratitude goes to all those who took part and gave generously of their time
and money.

year’s date for your diary: Sunday, 25th April 2010
