Fundraising and sponsored events
Recent Fundraising Success: A big thank you to Brian Durk and his team of six who took part in the Cheltenham Circular Challenge in June. The magnificant sum of £1169 was raised to help further his beekeeping work in Ghana. The Cheltenham Challenge starts at the Racecourse and is probably one of the most scenic marathon courses in Britain. Next year's event takes place on 20 June 2010, if you would like to join our team next year, please email: info@beesabroad.org.uk or visit the web site www.cheltenhamcircularchallenge.org.uk.
The 15th Burton-on-Trent Cub Pack have been busy working to achieve their international challenge badge. We would like to thank Elke Atabe, from the Toba Beekeepers Cameroon for her talk to the cubs. In response to this the Cub Pack organised a cake sale and raised £113 to help us continue our work. We would like to thank Akela, Bagheera, Hathi for organising the evening and of course the Cubs for listening so well and putting their baking skills to such good use!
