Moseley Rugby Club and Friends Charity and Fundraising Canal Walk and Family Fun Day Out
Barbeque and Bouncy Castle back at the Clubhouse from 5.00pm onwards. Welcome the Walkers back
Saturday 25h June 2011
For Cure Lukaemia
In memory of Jessica Maggs
Moseley Rugby Club have teamed up with “Cure Lukaemia” a local charity, who are based at the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
Our walk will be in memory of Jessica Maggs, daughter of our new Head Coach Kevin Maggs, who sadly passed away recently.
Moseley first team players and coaching staff have promised to support the day, so why not come and join them?
It is a great day out walking along the canals from Mary Ardens house, just outside Stratford, to Yardley Wood bridge (over the road from the bus garage), which is about ½ mile down the Yardley Wood Road from Moseley Rugby Club. It is a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours and also a great way of raising money for worthwhile causes.
Itinerary for the day.
1. Meet 8.00am at Moseley Rugby Club, Yardley Wood Road, Billesley, Birmingham B13 0TP
2. We will then transport you to the canal side near Mary Ardens House to start the walk at approximately 9.15am.
3. There will be several places to stop ( including 5 or 6 pubs) on route, but it is highly recommended that you bring the following:
Drinking Water, a light snack, sun cream, sun hat or waterproof jacket (if the weather is a bit dodgy) . Please wear good shoes and sensible clothing.
There will be service vehicles that will follow us on our route and they will stop not only at the pubs but also at convenient points (18 in total on route) and they will be contactable by mobile phone if needed in an emergency. They will also have water on board, although you can always top-up at one of the pubs.
Lee Evans, Dave Warren and Paul Bracken will act as last men to make sure everyone is Ok and no one is left behind (especially in one of the pubs).
It is anticipated that the first ones back will be at Yardley Wood Road at around 4.00 to 5.00pm. You will be met again by mini-buses who will take you back to Moseley Rugby Club where there will be a barbeque and of course the bar will be open for those who haven't had enough. Lee, Dave and Paul will obviously be the last ones back to make sure everyone has arrived back safely.
When you get back, meet friends and family. We are having a barbeque and there will be entertainment for the younger ones, a bouncy castle and no doubt many tales of woe from the walkers. You don’t have to do the walk, just come and enjoy the day and meet the players and coaching staff, plus all the walkers.
Our two charities this year are:-
Cure Lukaemia, a local charity based at the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital and The Moseley Community Foundation. You will be given a t-shirt to wear on the day and maybe a baseball hat (we are hoping to get a sponsor, anyone interested?) Please bring your filled in sponsorship forms on the day so that we can work out roughly what we have raised for the Charities. Last year we raised over £2000-00 for Midlands Air Ambulance and £1800-00 for the Moseley Community Foundation. Our charities this year are both worthy causes so please collect as much sponsorship as possible.
Most of all have a great day, (all we need is a bit of sunshine), but please act sensibly and have respect for your fellow walkers and other canal users. One of us will be carrying a bucket to collect on the way, so don’t upset the locals.
It is very important that we keep track of the number for people who are doing the walk so that we can make sure we have enough buses and enough food, etc…
Please collect your sponsorship form at the bar, and leave your name, address and a contact number or e-mail address, so that we can keep you updated and record the number of people taking part.
The walk is open to everyone, but we MUST know the numbers to make sure the day runs smoothly. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT…
If you require any further information or extra sponsorship forms, please contact
Lee Evans on 07803 182568 or e-mail lee@pinstripegroup.co.uk or Dave Warren 0121 440 3443 or Moseley Rugby Club or Bill Redwood our superb steward..
THANK YOU for all your support
