Passage of Hope - Info Meeting

Info Meeting @ Cricket club was well attended last night... in addition to the 15 attendees I received apologies from Greg Parker, Tony Harrison, Bill Tapley, Mungo Amyatt-Leir, Dave Pedley and Chris Hall.

The Passage of Hope is now taking shape. I have completed the crew make-up for each leg and I will be contacting each crew member to confirm. Without exception I believe every request has been accomodated.

Polo shirts are being ordered today and sponsorship continues to arrive...

Please, please, please make every effort to sell your HOPE wristbands (as I won't be refunding any unsold bands.) If you can think of any family members, friends or work contacts who run their own businesses - then please appeal to their charitable nature and tap them for some event sponsorship - £50 to a business is not a great deal of money but will go a long way in Northern Thailand.

I am looking at potential dates for the Safe Return Party, and having talked to a few people following last nights meeting, there is a concensus that family and friends Dinner @ the Cricket Club would be a good idea. The evening will be ticket only and will include - photos & film from the trip, funny stories, table games, live music, fund raising and a charity auction. Please be on the look out for donations for the auction.

Speak soon CREW ...... Tim
