so, the walk...

as prompted by my lil bro (though not so lil i hear these days!) i am henceforth to give some more details on Saturday's upcoming walk...
so it's 18 km, (yes i agree not really all that far!), so i would not so much be asking for sponsors for my walking efforts but more for my organisational skills (though i will also be participating) on the day i'm gonna be registering participants with my two friends who are BOTH incidentally called Charles, i'm also organising getting the forms to the schools (there are 100 schools, we went to 5 today...), getting the donation forms, making sponsor forms, getting the forms to the branch so that certificates can be made, organising for refreshments, helping plan the programme, overseeing that the tents and chairs for the celebration are set up correctly, organising enough water and glucose, checking on the ushers and of course going to all the committee meetings. WHILE also over seeing the good old tents.
should be a good event, 100 schools, 20 - 50 per school, guest speakers, entertainment... just hope we can pull it all off!
the money is going to help with the branch's activities, supporting the youth activities, replenishing the supplies in the stores... much money has come in to help with the disaster but the funds for the branch's normal activities are long since over. getting dissemination materials for example. very important but not related directly enough to the disaster. so any sponsors that i ca rally round for would be highly appreciated, especially this year when everyone here has less in their pocket due to the events over the last few months and increased prices. my bro has already pledged his 10 pounds earnt looking after the Joneses dog.
wish me luck in smooth running of the event!
