Jim says: Hi folks, sorry for the delay in updating the home page but as most of you know I'm very busy with work and if the sun is shining I'm out on the bike for sure (I wish...)
What most people don’t realise is that most of us within the Anotherwayaround group work full time and with the charity work on top it's getting more and more difficult to find time. If it wasn’t for Mo here at Grafixation there would be no web page and what people tend to forget is that Mo also contributes her own time here for free to help us put our message across the internet and we salute you Mo for all the help in true AC/DC style.
(Mo says, glad to help!)
As you have guessed if you read my crazy blog page the Anotherwayaround the Alps tour was a roaring success with the ten countries blitzed no problems and with a whopping total in excess of 11 thousand raised it was a very worthwhile excersise. Chas and Cancer Research being our chosen charities benefited from our efforts and for that I have personally got to thank each and every one of the group for all their hard work and effort that they put into last year's fund raiser.
"What's the fund-raising event this year, Jim?" I hear you ask.
Honestly... NOTHING.
Only kidding!
So what's happening?
Anotherwayaround...
Are...
Rockin' all the way!
If any of you want to join us on the West Highland Way, please get in touch. Dates to be confirmed as are the rest of the folks that are joining us but the plan is to walk the Way from Glasgow to Fort William in six days. It'll be raising cash via sponsorship forms this time so it's up to the individual to raise what they can without too much pressure.
I reckon it will be the last week in May or the first week in June but don’t worry I will let everyone know as soon as it's arranged. My trusty pal Mo will update the site for us to keep you all informed.
"What's the name of this event?" you say. Well that’s under wraps and again to be confirmed but if it happens it will be fantastic I kid you not, so keep your eyes peeled for news.
We also have another couple of things in planning at the moment so again as soon as I have all the final details I will keep everyone informed regarding dates etc. There will be a bike ride this year for sure and at the moment its a more "at home" approach, taking in the Scottish Islands of the West Coast as last year's trip was funded and paid for by each individual that took part.
Please keep checking the site for updates or the blog page, I will speak to you all very soon regarding upcoming events so thanks for coming in and having a look around. If anyone wants to join in, feel free to contact us.
