Thanks Jackie for posting this - will raise it on Monday at the Sports Council meeting too.

Out of interest what time does it start and where does the money go? Does it remain local?

[jackiefulton]

Mile starts at 10.30 am - with the serious contenders for the 4 minute mile first - followed by others in waves - about every 15 minutes
see website www.sportrelief.com for details of sport / comivc relief funds

the fee goes to sport relief and they encourage sponsorship - but often folk split sponsorship between local and national - comic relief grants have been awarded to local groups

teas stalls etc will go to local groups - anyone wishing to set up a stall should email me at strathairdpl@clara.co.uk

worth going the extra mile as it's a good fun event as well as raisng funds for charity

Is it possible for a fellow to enter on the day?....when he discovers if he has to work or not?!

What is the route after leaving from St K?

[jackiefulton]

May be limited places on the day, will know better after Tuesday when Sport Relief deliver the goodies- will post a note on the site
However if you are free you would be very welcome as a steward!

Route St Kierans( start line on the green) to playpark( paddling Pool) via Kilkerran Rd, cross over, back along the green, (esplanade path - out of action ) at Job Centre, head up New Quay Street, right into Stewart road, back along bottom of green, left into John St finish just inside playground

They are still advertising it on national radio but seems I have missed my chance for the Campbeltown race

And TheP desperate to get in as well.....

[jackiefulton]

no you are not too late...
as far as I am aware you can sign up to midnight tonight onlone - but you will get a message back to say pick up your entry kit on Saturday at the local race - so you may as well just do that and bring your money along - but it would be more convenient if you arranged to pick the entry kit up from me on Friday - we had a bit of a panic as our numbers were downsized as on line entries were slow - but sport relief now sending out another batch of goody bags so we should be sorted

might be time to knit some socks!

would still welcome extra stewards - details of the route can be picked up a George McMillan's shop

locally we are warming up with Joyce Oxborrow and myself doing a mile at the Aqualibrium early slot on Friday - so anyone is welcome to come along and spur us on or do amile or a half themselves - collectively we may do the channel!

if you are taking part please collect sponsors/ or pick up a sport relief bucket from me for your local hostelry or place of work - any last minute queries you can phone me on 07919 410 872

See you there 4th Gen -

[4th gen Suthen']

Just back from the event and I am sure the organisers would rate it a great success.
Perfect weather and lots of people, good atmosphere all around..........and I even met Tommy Kelly for the first time

TheP and Lorne were there and I went to take their picture with Davie's camera but at the vital moment Davie lost a vital part of the camera! he found it again but the moment was gone! plenty were pictures were taken but not with my own camera, the batteries gave out ...no time to get new ones........

[Ship called Dignity]

Yes - weather was perfect and enjoyed the walk with the wee man. Here are a couple of photos for now and I will post more later on. Busy day for photos with the Pet Show and weddings!



Never missed you however 4th Gen!
