One of our intrepid committee members Rob Ings will be ‘Walking His Socks Off’ to raise funds for ‘Fuse-The Event in a Tent’. This is not a stroll but the 190 mile ‘Coast to Coast’ walk made famous by Wainwright or if you prefer ‘Julia Bradbury’.
A few details about Rob; he was an active sportsman, particularly good with, the bat and ball until the decline set in. For some reason best known to him he started to walk with LAME (Lichfield Alternative Mountaineering Club). He quickly realised that being a heavy smoker and walking up big hills is not a good combination, so common sense prevailed and the fags went in the bin.
With a few training trips to the Lakes under the auspices of his personal trainer ‘Brian Pretty’ he is confident of completing the journey from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood’s Bay North Yorkshire.
You can walk with him, he starts March 20th and will finish on the 3rd April, if you wish to for the complete walk or just one section – shortest 12 miles, longest 23 miles – or better still (and much easier) make a donation or sponsor him. Every penny raised will go towards our FREE community arts event -Fuse 2010 -The Event in a Tent, This is our tenth Anniversary and Fuse has been so successful that it is now costing £30,000, so any financial help would be appreciated.
Even better, if you complete the Gift Aid Declaration the taxman will give us more money rather than the bankers!
