The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Alright guys,

Thinking about doing the waendal walk next May to raise funds for the club.. Don't think I've ever walked further than 10 miles before but going to attempt the 16 mile route..

Just wanted to know if anyone else is registering or they have done it in the past.. Any information would be greatly appreciated..

Would it be best to create a just giving page? When should the donations reach the club by etc?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

The fundraising team were planning on entering as large a group as we can get for this event, though the planning was in the early stages, but has been in a few of the programmes to get people thinking about it. So keep Friday 13th to Sunday 15th May free in your diary.

Various members of the fundraising team have done the Waendal walk a number of times in the past with the old club, and we had quite a few large turnouts in R&D kit, with Flags, Footballs etc.. (Kicking the ball all the way around may seem like a good idea - but gets a bit tiresome I can tell you), and often made it into the ET as well. There are a number of different routes to choose from, so is suitable for most abilities.

Perhaps have a chat to Glenis at one of our home games.
