Saints with Heart Walk - UPDATE
2 DAYS TO GO!
By Hearty Rich
December 6 2002
The big day is nearly upon us. After lots of chasing and phoning. Getting names for the walk, getting my own sponsors and Stockers and Oxford Saint sorting out the T-shirts. (cheers chaps) We're finally ready to go! I must admit to feeling quite excited!!! Here are the details for Saturday's walk.

I have over 30 names of people who have kindly volunteered
to take part in the COYSDC charity walk in aid of the
British heart Foundation
.
For those of you walkers the best way to get a map is to click the following links and print them out, you can stick the print outs together Blue Peter style for the full map.

I will explain the route in detail on the day or you can follow these instructions:
Right above the blue grid number 74 is 'St. James End' rather fittingly the walk starts on the 'S' of 'St'. Follow the red dotted line South - Westish to the A45. The route goes over the A45 (please please please use the crossing!) and then continues following the dotted red line which now has red diamonds on it (some clever cloggsess can tell you what this means, all we need to know is that it's a public right of way.) When you get to the B road just outside Kislingbury turn left and go South over the bridge until you get to the next red dotted line, turn left again and follow this West to Upton Mill. From Upton Mill go North until you find the path we followed earlier. Turn right and follow that path back to the Gardens for an orange juice and low fat snack!

Oxford Saint has designed the following T-shirt logo
for the event.
Stockers has got the Jetsco multinational wheels in
motion and we have ordered large and extra large, printed on black T-shirts.
To keep costs down and to maximize the donation to the BHF these are value
weight.
To take part in the walk we are asking for a participation fee of £10 this covers the cost of the T-shirt and makes a donation to the BHF (Stockers has arranged for Jetsco to pay part of the t-shirt price so that £5 per shirt is donated). Again, in order to reduce costs I will actually bring the T-shirts with me to the event and will take money on the day. I know it said this before but I have the following instructions please Bring a cheque for £10 for each t-shirt made payable to R.Lindsley. I really don't want to be walking around with £300 in my pocket, especially as after the walk I shall be quite thirsty!!!
Sian Haynes has been very helpful and I would like to thank her for that. She is trying to organize some players for a photo shoot before the walk and informs me that the car park will open at 9am so we won't have any trouble getting in. I'd like us to meet at 10.30 on the back pitch car park. Look for a red Honda Civic, a nervous Rich, the mighty young Joe and a 7 months pregnant Bump Bump Baby Bump. Hopefully we will also have a BHF banner to make us more obvious.
Please wrap up well for the walk and wear suitable footwear. The forecast is dry but the walk will still be damp and muddy. Walking boots would be ideal, I'm wearing caterpillar trainers and intend to change them when we get back to the cars, Joe will be in his wellies but I wouldn't recommend welly boots for growed ups. A change of trousers may also be a good idea. Please also bring something waterproof just in case.
My next point is very important and concerns safety. I will not be responsible for anyone (apart from Joe) during the walk. Please please please take care at all times, the last thing we need is any accidents. If you're not fit to do the walk please don't attempt it. As I said I will not be liable for person or property on this walk and you should all set out with this knowledge in mind. I know that was a bit heavy but it needed saying.
I'm checking the route tomorrow and if it's too wet then we will use an urban alternative.
So that's it the walk is on Saturday. I hope you all enjoy it and I hope we make a big lump of dosh for the BHF. As with the T-shirt money please don't bring your sponsor money with you, you can post me a cheque at a later date. I would like to know an estimated total though so please bring a rough figure of your sponsor money with you.
Any further questions please e-mail me on:
richard@saints27500.fsnet.co.uk
or leave a message on the message board.
The important points again:
Meet at 10.30 am in the Saints back pitch car park.
Bring a cheque for £10 per person.
Work out how much money you will raise.
Dress appropriately and walk safely!
