Hi Carl. Excuse my brevity, i'm without laptop at the minute.

I think i'll be up for joining you. The dates look ok to me. let me know when you wanna get squash booked & we'll start there.

How about a penny per mile? 23.5p? I'll even round it up to 25 if you like.

And yeah, if you wanna come along Mike, the more the merrier.

Much love.

[Bald Rover]

[Sif]

I'm in.

I've just registered carlos. I put Team DRFC down.

[Mike_F]

I'll register at the end of the month.

Wearing the hoops in June is a sterling idea.

Perhaps we can get summat in the match programme to raise more sponsorship? I'll drop the Footy Heaven lads a line too.

[Bald Rover]

Sounds good!!

and \"Team DRFC\" is born.................

[Bald Rover]

Ive created a facebook page to alert people to how the fundraising is going etc

This looks brilliant. I love the Yorkshire Dales, any room in this there team?

[Bald Rover]

Room for all I have asked the organisers about \"Team DRFC\" and apparently we get put into groups on the day fast medium or slow so we can walk as we wish in groups! if you register using the above linky its £10 to register then raise what you can and Im sure we can meet before the day then all walk together!!

[Bald Rover]

Sponsorship rising fast many thanks to anyone who has sponsored me!

A truly worthy cause, and one which is close to my heart having been helped by Macmillan when I had cancer 13 years ago, and also again last year due to the 10 months of time off work due to related complications.

Best of luck lads!

[Sif]

It looks like we've got a great team together for this one.

Here is my page. It's all going to the same cause. http://original.justgiving.com/phillellis

[Bald Rover]

[Bald Rover]

Spoken to Steve Uttley and he has asked for details of what we are doing whos doing it and why etc and I think he is going to publicise the event for us, Up to now theres me Phil Tracy all registered...are you other guys joining us if so can you send me info of who you are and why you are doing it? is there someone your doing it for etc??

[Mike_F]

Carlos,

As I mentioned furthe rup the thread I'll register at the end of this week once I've been paid. I've even booked a pass out from the missus.

I'm not doing it for anyone in particular (although my Grandad had a brush with cancer around Christmas and was lucky enough to be oprated on straight away) but I'm happy to support such a good cause.

I'm really looking forward to the day.

[5minstogo]

I've registered. Really looking forward to it.  No particular reason for me wanting to do it other than helping out a really worthwhile charity

[Bald Rover]

Excellent!!

so up to now we have me Phil Gary Mike Tracy and Martyn!! oh and I think Darren? are we all camping the night before?

[Sif]

Yeah, unless you wanna drive all the way up there to be ready for 7am? I'd rather camp out the night before.

[5minstogo]

Camping? I'll quite happily walk 23.5 miles climbing 2135 feet but sleep under a bit of plastic in a field full of horse shit? You must be kidding.  Is there a Hilton or Malmaison nearby?

[Mike_F]

There's bound to be a nice country pub/B&B in the vicinity. If they serve local fodder and Theakston's that's even better!

[Bald Rover]

hmmm maybe lol I bet they are all booked up??

[Mike_F]

Im now registered and looking forward to the day. If anyone wants to sponsor me please visit www.justgiving.com/mike-follows

Cheers.

I'll just bump this a bit further up the top.....

Don't forget TEAM DRFC will be scaling three, what can only be described as mountains, on a 23.5 mile hike up hill and down Yorkshire dale in support of MacMillan Cancer Support.

Macmillan helps people by giving out financial grants which average at £371 per person. £188 will fund a MacMillan nurse for 4 hours. £168 will run Cancer Support Direct for an hour, which on average will help 11 people answer their questions about cancer and provide the emotional support they need.

Why not donate the cost of a pint this weekend to a great cause?

There are not earlybird perks or latebird penalties so please donate if you can, what you can, when you can.  

Every little helps.

Thanks

I will be holding an auction very soon for a signed green and white Nspcc shirt and shorts! as you are all aware this was a unique shirt and I think will be very collectable! all monies raised will be added to my fundraising page http://original.justgiving.com/carlharris how can I add a pic on here?

[Bald Rover]

Just as a catch up can all the guys n galls registered for this please message me with personal details for Steve Uttley for the program also post their just giving pages! how are we all doing with the fundraising? Darren is hopefully putting a piece in the free press soon!
