Sponsorship

Chris completed the run and has hit his donation target - and some. You can still make a donation, however small, all is appreciated.

On the 13th May coming, Chris Bush, your long suffering Club Treasurer, has entered a 10k run around Alton Water reservoir in Suffolk. He is looking for kind sponsorship in support of the British Heart Foundation. If you are interested in sponsoring him please either contact him directly or visit www.justgiving.com/christopher-bush0, which is a secure site for making donations. He is not expecting to win, only to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause!
