In September
2002, the Lodge organised a sponsored walk, which was attended by
many members and friends. The walk, over a distance of 10 miles,
raised £1400, which was given to the Bristol MS Nerve Centre
Appeal. The Appeal is raising money to build a Multiple
Sclerosis Research Centre at Bristol’s Frenchay Hospital.
Pictured is one group of walkers with
their hearts set on filling the bucket. Who could refuse?
We spent a delightful day on the
Kennett and Avon Canal and quite apart from the tremendous
sponsorship we had already gathered, the generosity of walkers,
cyclists and members of the barge community was enough to raise
the sprits as we covered the miles.
We also greatly appreciate the efforts
of several non-members who took part in the walk and helped to
swell the total.
