Saturday 14th November 2009, BRADFIELD St. GEORGE - ROUGHAM, Start 10.30am, Distance 6.5miles. A SPECIAL WALK PARTLY IN AID OF MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT Another great opportunity to support this charity. There is a minimum charge of £6 for this special walk, £4 of which will be donated to MCS. Any donation in excess of £6 will also be give to MCS. WALK CANCELLED! Unfortunately this walk has had to be cancelled owing to the number of confirmed bookings being below the minimum 72hours before the scheduled start. Apologies to those that had booked. Several bookings were made AFTER the walk was called off. Had these bookings been made before the 3 day deadline, the walk would have gone ahead.

This is the final walk scheduled partly for the benefit of Macmillan Cancer Support. The original target of £1,000 has been well passed. The amount raised so far sits at £1,385!. Many thanks to all of you who have supported the "Getting Out" campaign to raise money for this charity. I know that several who have joined the Macmillan walks are perhaps not regular walkers and some of the distances proved challenging for some, a special thanks to those participants. It is hoped to officially present a cheque to Macmillan Cancer Support at the "Getting Out" party to be staged towards the end of February 2010.
