The Lions Club of Winchelsea

Walk, Run, Ride or Drive to Wensleydale

For 2009, the Lions Club of Winchelsea annual fundraiser from Winchelsea to Wensleydale will include walkers, runners, horse and bicycle riders and drivers. The Club invites the community to either sponsor a walker/runner/rider or be a sponsored walker/runner/rider - all proceeds are donated to the "Make A Wish" Foundation, an organisation that grants wishes to children with life threatening conditions.

The event will be held on Sunday November 1st, with two starting points depending on how far the sponsoree wishes to go;

1. from the Winchelsea Senior Citizens at 10am for walkers, 11am for runners and riders (12 kilometres distance)
   
2. the corner of Wurdale and Wormbete Station Roads (1 kilometre distances)
   

Drivers should arrive after 12 noon, and if you wish to drive there is a $5 entry fee per car.

The finishing point is 95 Wormbete Station Road in Wensleydale, where participants will be celebreated with a community BBQ, music by "Band on the Run", pony rides and a jumping castle. The famous Winchelsea Lions chuck wagon will also be on hand, with the Club providing meat, bread, salads, desserts, condiments, tea, coffee and soft drinks. Chairs, plates, cutlery and glasses will also be provided.

(If it rains on the day, arrangements have been made to relocate to Wurdale Hall)

The sponsorship form can be found in the Winchelsea Star or phone Murray (0409 405645) or Keith (0408 560070) for further information or forms. You can also download the Walk to Wensleydale sponsorship form here (as a PDF).
