The Seventh Annual Charity Walk - 2008

The Day has passed, the feet and muscles are beginning to recover, the sense of amazement at just how much energy some young people have is beginning to pass!    The job of collecting the sponsorship money is beginning.....

The Organisers have been beavering away, too. The course has been cleared, the gazebos and tables taken down, the signposts collected for another year, and our computer (the one who computes, not the PC!) has been sorting out the information you have given us.

Rotarians are very good at mechanical things!

This year, 312 Walkers registered for the walk, including 192 who took advantage of the advance booking facilities, and the special rates! On the Tickets to Walk, and the Registration Forms, we ask you to tell us how much you expect to raise for your Charity    or Good Cause - we aren't just being nosey, this figure usually adds up to something really impressive! 235 of you told us about your sponsorships, and this works out to £94.73 per walker, on average, approximately! If we then multiply this out across all the walkers, and add in what has been raised for Rotary Charities, the total for this year will probably come to around THIRTY TWO THOUSAND pounds. The amount of good which will be done by this amount of money makes it all worthwhile!

This year's numbers are a little bit down on last year's totals, though the amount raised per walker is still significantly higher than the figure for 2006. We will shortly be starting to look at planning for 2009, and as part of this we will be asking you for more information about your preferences, and what you want from your event. Please bookmark our site, and come back to see what will be going on!

The Walk appeals to all ages! Here are some
