September Challenge 2009
Although the main Challenge 2009 event took place in April,
others did their own event during the year. Of particular
note, Jim & Wendy Seaton not only completed the 40-miles in
September, but through sponsorship raised over £600 for the National
Eczema Society. What is more Jim got publicity for ACW,
including being interviewed "live" on BBC Cov & Warks Annie
Othen show.
Jim & Wendy thank the members of the Association for the
clarity of waymarking, and general good condition of the way (They
also said "we've completed several LDPs over recent years, and this
had to be the best in these terms"). ACWA must also thank them
for their support of our Association.
Other Summer/Autumn Challenge 2009 Events
As far as I know, the above was the only 40-mile event in
September.
However on Sunday-30-Aug, "The Journeymen" group from Coventry
Freemans Guild again did a sponsored walk from Bretford to
Ansty. 12 people took part, and between them raised a total of
approximately £700 for the "Start a Heart" charity. This
is the 4th year this group has run a similar event, on previous
occasions always being on the same day as the main ACW Challenge
event in September.
I'm sure other groups also had their
own events - if anyone knows details which should be published
here, please e-mail
me.
