It's been a long time since my last blog so apologies for those who have been on tenterhooks waiting for the next installment....
Training is still going well. I am managing 2 hours in the saddle very comfortably now and am varying my routes to get used to different terrains. I always try and incorporate a large hill or two somewhere in order to push myself and be prepared for what lies in wait in Jersey.
The Ska night tickets are selling nicely as well now and we have had both our support acts confirmed as well. They are 'Circus of Invention' and 'Drug Sniffing Dogs'!! All the bands involved are donating their fees to the cause and it is really appreciated. It's just a shame that the Guildhall didn't see fit to cut us some slack and offer a reduction as well. It is for charity after all. Never mind - it will be a cracking night.
Fund raising is closing in on the £1K mark now and I will be chuffed to bits if I make it past that figure. One Shedweb regular, who shall remain nameless ((but lives in Panama), recently pledged a very generous donation and I am very grateful indeed for that.
My old mate Dizzie is also doing well with her fundraising for Cancer Research and her training is also well underway now after her health set-backs.
Charlie & Harvey are getting bigger by the day and growing up way too quickly. Charlie recently got his Silver Award from Andy Tucker SupaStrikers for his footballing prowess and was very proud indeed. Harvey eats, sleeps and destroys, that's pretty much his routine!!
In the world of Rugby the mighty Glaws were given an unfortunate pasting the GP Final by Leicester Tiggers but the recent raft of signings announced by the club certainly bodes well for the future. If 'The Volcano' can learn the subleties of the Union game compared to League then we will have made a fantastic signing. Champions next season I reckon.
