THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE 2004

FIVE MEMBERS OF ST.MARTIN'S CHURCH DID A SPONSORED THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE TO RAISE INTEREST AND FUNDS FOR THE CHURCH'S "ACCESS FOR ALL" PROJECT. THEY WERE (LEFT TO RIGHT) GREG JONES, THOMAS ASTLE, JOHN BEADMAN, DUNCAN ASTLE & SEAN TEBBUTT.

THEY COMPLEATED THEIR CHALLENGE AT MIDDAY JUNE 20TH AT LLANBERIS, AT THE FOOT OF SNOWDON. MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION MET THEM BY COACH AND THE LANDLORD OF "THE HEIGHTS" PUB ALLOWED US TO USE HIS BEER GARDEN FOR LUNCH.

PUTTING UP A GAZEBO PROVED MORE DIFFICULT, CRUCIAL LEGS WERE LEFT ON THE COACH, WHICH HAD DRIVEN OFF!.

A MINIBUS FROM BOSWORTH COLLEGE PROVIDED TRANSPORT AND WITH THE RUNNERS WAS A SUPPORT TEAM OF DI BESTE, JANE SUTTON, SUSAN WOODWARD AND ALF GALLAGER.

A LOVELY DAY WAS COMPLEATED WITH A CHURCH SERVICE IN THE LOCAL PARISH CHURCH. A SPECIAL MEMORY WAS MADE OF PHYLLIS CHAPMAN, WHO HAD DONE SO MUCH TO INSPIRE AND ENCORAGE THE PROJECT BUT WHO DIED EARLIER THIS YEAR.
