Fundraising

Fundraising shenanigans have certainly livened up lectures in College this week. A hearty sense of competition is now beginning to emerge as teams have realised the reality of pairing walking boots with a tutu.

Not only that, but the student team craftily used a Challenge announcement to their advantage by asking two of the staff team members to stand up under false pretensions and then using them as a target!

However, it is good fun, as all proceeds will go to the College, and the process is promoting some good bonding. The next training walk is this Saturday, and the hope is that we will proceed on to basic compass work.

The forecast is good and all are eager!

The countdown begins

After a few weeks away, preparations and fundraising have begun again with renewed vigour.

The students have had some vital physical and mental preparations recently - will the staff be able to match them?

An upcoming training day will give feet, shoulders and hips a chance to acclimatise to boots and packs. Time will tell which team will capitalise.

On the fundraising front, it seems that the staff team has drawn first blood, having received their first donation. The students have yet to make it off the mark!
