Alan and Jane em BARK on a cross bay walk
Our Alan with Jane and their dog called Lottie are undertaking the cross Bay walk for Cancer Care on the 20th of July.
They are raising funds for Cancercare.
Alan decided not to create a go fund thingy page as they take a slice of money raised and as CancerCare have a link on their website for donations, It seemed to be the way forward.
For those who dont know, We get an incredible amount of support and assistance from CancerCare and we would struggle without it.
So if you can chuck them a few bob it will be money well spent.
The link should take you to their donate page.
Thank you.
Tim.

For more info.
Alan and me are having a stand there.
If you are in the area, come and say hello.
We have over 80 members on our Facebook group and these emails go out to 50 addresses, yet at the last meeting in Slynedales there were seven of us listening to Helen our speaker.
I realise group meetings are not for everybody, and some have other things to do, But I feel a tad embarrassed inviting a speaker to talk to such a small group.
So, I would appreciate some feedback on the group, what you think we should do to improve it, What you think we are doing wrong etc.
Please reply to
Thank you.
Tim
