Tom Norfolk & the Santa Fun Run

In December, Tom, a previous winner of the Spinfield Harry Mills Memorial Cup, took part in the Santa Fun Run organised by the Rotary Club of Marlow. 

He donated half of his sponsorship to Harry & the Youth Sport Trust, and raised £11.

Unfortunately, we do not have a photo of Tom in full Santa gear!! But then again Santa has always been an elusive chap!

Chris Goldson: 16th June 2012 The Incredible Three Peaks Challenge

Chris's Story..
The last time I did something worth sponsoring, I was a silly 9 year-old.

Saturday 16 June sees me and my ITV work chums tackle the Three Peaks Challenge, climbing each of the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in 24 hours.

I'm fundraising in memory of 11 year-old Harry, a family member (my wife Angela is Judi's cousin) who sadly lost his life to a rare form of meningitis in 2007. Harry was a hugely talented sportsman, destined for great things, and he'll be my inspiration as I stagger up these majestic mountains.  

Chris has raised £600 - please visit Chris's fund raising site

National Pirate Day – FST the Group : 25th May 2012

There was swashbuckling galore on Friday May 25^th as pirates stormed the bridge and took to the streets of Marlow raising funds for Harry & the Youth Sport Trust.  Yes It was National Pirate Day in Marlow.

Pirates from FST were joined by salty sea dogs from Softcat in Marlow & Manchester – an extract from their newsletter reads…

Grilled grub for me hearties

One highlight o’ this special day be Cap’n Martin Hellawell’s barbecue. Another be a competition for the best-dressed pirate. Aaarrr!

Pieces of eight for a good cause
All employees who remember to dress as pirates will be donatin’ £2 o’ their swag to the Harry Mills Charity. Any poxed blaggard who forgets to dress up will be donatin’ £5 o’ booty instead. 

(Softcat also donated £500 of Capital Bonds to Harry’s Lunch)

Children from Spinfield and Bisham Schools also enthusiastically joined in the fun whilst the Slug & Lettuce held a pirate quiz and Renaissance Hair Salon & the Euro-Japanese Exchange Foundation held cake sales. A total of £3663 was raised.

Pirate Day was the brainchild of Mark Howard at FST – the Group and has been raising funds for charity for the past 4 years.
