20th October, 2013...Dowdales Sponsored Walk!

Quiet down here at 9.10am this morning....we dropped Frank and his sister off at Dowdales for their annual sponsored walk, then came down to the Abbey Mill, which was their mid-walk check- in point, and had a cup of tea whilst we waited.....

                                                            ...then they began to arrive!!

 

 

 

Frankie and Rosie finished at 10.40am, which was a good time, although they had fallen out by the end of the walk!!

Had a good chat to assistant head Harry Smith about all things 'fund raising' and 'schools'. Really nice feeling amongst the Dowdales kids and parents as they all took part in the walk, and lots of money has been raised for school funds, which goes directly on things for the kids, as it does at most schools. And how lucky we are to have the Abbey as a place to hold a sponsored event! It got me thinking.....

 

Frank quite pleased with himself too!
