6 days before the SPONSORED WALK

We are getting there!
We are in the home straight now with only 7 days to go before the walk.

I have given some more specific details to the BBQ helpers. A friend has kindly offered to drop off his half - barrel barbecue  on Saturday morning early at the school. I still need to get charcoal, kindling, paper and fire lighters before the weekend. This means a stroll into the forest to collect twigs, a visit to the petrol station for the last charcoal and fire lighters of the season(let's hope!) and removing the sections in the newspapers that no one reads, such as the careers section and home improvement supplement.


The flags are now *drying in the conservatory. It has been a DIY job and they are looking good. The glue is sticking, the cardboard is holding, the pegs are helping and the cloth is vibrant!  What a wonderful idea this has been !

We have not heard from the drummers yet.


Good news: the RAF will be watching us as we walk along by the river mouth.
Unfortunately their events organiser has a very long e- mail and our request did not get there in time to manage the paperwork for a full Sea King visit , but...
the guys at the RAF will make sure the Sea King helicopter flies over the water bearers on the day! We have given them the exact location of the sponsored walk and so hopefully we can give them a wave as they whizz by!

The friends of Hipsburn have sent out a letter to all parents asking for more help, donations, and cakes. We are very grateful for all the support so far.

Lionhart radio will be announcing the walk during the week coming.
So listen up.

Thanks to all.
