TAKING PART TO RAISE MONEY
The aim of the Event is to raise as much money as possible for the chosen charities and as a guide each walker should try to raise £100, either by being sponsored or by making a donation. This figure is not compulsory, however it’s in the spirit of the event that each participant makes a contribution to the good causes fund. Whatever the amount raised, the efforts made will be very much appreciated. NEW THIS YEAR: Team entries are also welcome, with recognition to be given to the team raising the most sponsorship. NB: Minimum of 4 & maximum of 6 in a team.
REGISTRATION
A Registration Fee of £10 per person is payable upon submission of Application Forms. Income from this goes entirely towards the cost of holding the event – none of this money will provide anything for the charities. Event costs include the hiring of special ferries, all day parking, advertising, postage and provisions for the cream teas.
