Happy New Year!!

3rd January 2007

Ok, so it's here - the new year is officially here! Welcomed in with fireworks and whimpers from Tyson (oh, and some idiots on Hucclecote Road who thought it would be amusing to actually throw fireworks AT us, after seeing how scared Tyson was of them).

So, the new year is here...which means that it is THIS YEAR that I walk the Great Wall...!!
(arghhhh......scary stuff...run for cover....!!)

The fundraising is going REALLY well - I'm so pleased!! The next event in the calendar is the Wedding Fair, on the 31st March 2007 at the Holiday Inn, Crest Way, Barnwood, Gloucester.

Should be a lovely day, with lots of wedding exhibitors, and goodie bags for brides to be!


After that, the big event is "An Evening with Ska'd" - a night of pure Ska music, being held at the Guildhall in Gloucester (Eastgate Street) on Saturday 23rd June. Tickets are a mere £10 each in advance (£12 on the door, if there are any left!) and proceeds from the event will be split between Cancer Research UK and The Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at Gloucester Royal. It's a joint effort with my buddy Shaky - so that both of our charities benefit from the efforts. It should be a magic night - and anyone who likes Ska music should be there...!!

There are loads of things going on at the minute, things are really moving...Shaky's fundraising, I'm pleased to say is going well for him too - I should think that he will smash his target, and should be so proud of doing so!
I am hoping to reach my half way mark later this week - with the donations coming in from the wedding fair, we should do it!

In the meantime, perhaps you'd like to know how cancer research spend the money that is donated to them? Have a look here http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/aboutus/howweraisefunds/howfundsarespent/
and be amazed at how a little goes a VERY long way....

So, it's the New Year, Let's make it a Good one!!
