Update 13.06.09

The BBQ Gig fundraiser went off without too much of a hitch! A few problems resulted in Badman & Jahin unable to attend, but in their place they sent 2/3 of the band Cojack, who were amazing, despite their lack of microphones!

In the coming weeks I hope to have a video montage of the event uploaded, just waiting to after exams!

A week this Monday sees me starting my work experience at one of my old primary schools which is very exciting and I hope to be able to learn a lot and take that experience out to Mauritania.

I've started my marathon, though I'm taking it lightly around this exams period by only doing 3x3km runs a week, but hope to up this amount considerable in the coming weeks, as well as get back into training at the gym.

On the money front, my total has now reached 62%, excluding the sponsorship for the half marathon which is at £285 thanks to to the lasted few sponsorships from teachers.

Updates 2/6/09

Finally I've scored a bag packing event at a Sainsbury! 4th & 5th of July!

Any volunteers please contact me!

I've been trying to arrange one of these for the last month and half so am very happy!


Also, I'm now 52% of the way there, which is a real testament to my friends and family who have all been donating & helping out!


This Friday is my BBQ Gig, which is looking to 25-50 people buying tickets, which can only be a good thing! I've had many issues with the band, but I can confirm that Badman & Jahin will be playing acoustically!


An update on the website is that I've been able to upload photos from my selection course, and I hope to have photos from the BBQ Gig up by the weekend!

Almost 50% there

Thank you very much to Uncle Michael & the Petries for their generous donations to the cause in the last few days!

Thank you to Mr Northcott & the Upper Sixth for their donations at the leavers assembly which tallyed almost £70 in total, so thank you again!

To the teachers that have sponsored me for my 1/2 marathon in September, thank you very much, collecting the money from you will make finishing the run just that lil bit sweeter!

My thanks also go out to all my friends who have bought tickets for my fundraiser BBQ Gig, especially to those who are unable to attend but have bought tickets regardless!

Garden BBQ & Gig

So it's been settled, Friday 5th June is the garden BBQ & Gig fundraiser!

So far, 19 yes, 20 maybes, 14 no, and awaiting 47, so not bad numbers.

It does seem as though we're only having 3/4 of Golf-clap, but ca la vie!

Tickets go on sale from Tuesday!
