17 juniors representing 4 schools (Rockfield, Kilchrenan, Taynuilt and Oban High) headed to Palacerigg Country Park in Cumberbauld on the 4th June. A great time was had by all on both the courses and in the fantastic play park which I think at one point had all 380 youngsters from the 30 schools who were being represented in it at one time!

I took £170 from selling cakes and juice over the three weeks. The third week there was also tea available. I made gingerbread, crispy cakes, cupcakes, flapjacks, chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, ginger tablet stuff, tiffin and rock buns over the three weeks. There were five different pieces of baking each week, the first week I sold out and there was none left for Carol, the other weeks I almost sold out which was pretty good.
Thank you everyone for being so willingly generous.

As I continue to recover from my accident, I was keen to write a bit to say thanks so much to all of you who sent your good wishes, cards and so on. I also thought I could give an update for those of you interested.

Highly influenced by Eddie Izzard’s fantastic feat of 43 marathons in 52 days, and one man’s innate desire to ‘do something a bit different’, an idea was conceived. “Would it be possible to run a relay around the Coast of Great Britain?“
Dave Bleazard is co-ordinating runners for the legs through Argyll.
