There is still a prize up for grabs for the highest fundraiser – a family bowling session which has kindly been donated by The Spectrum in Guildford – so make sure all sponsorship is returned to us by Friday 27 June. We will then contact the highest fundraiser to present the prize!
Dave Beasley, an amateur photographer, kindly volunteered to take some photos for us on the day. To view the photos visit www.whywhatwhere.co.uk
A huge thank you to all of those that took part and made the day such a great success. We hope you enjoyed the day and look forward to seeing you again next year.
