9 MILE FAMILIES WALKING TOGETHER - 5 JUNE 2021
We are pleased to report that for the first time Family Groups are invited to take part in this year's Saffery Rotary Walk which is returning to the Island's annual calendar BIGGER and BETTER than ever before. What an opportunity to shake off the disappointments caused by the Lockdowns of the past year.
If you wish to walk as a Family Group you are most welcome to join us for the concluding two stages of the Walk. From Noon, family groups will be joining the Walk at our checkpoint in the Chouet car park (In front of Roc Salt Restaurant) and walk around the coast to our lively FINISH at North Beach in the centre of St Peter Port - a distance of 9 miles. If that is a step too far for you or your children, why not join us at Bordeaux (from 2.00 pm) for the 3.5 mile walk into town.
All we ask is that one adult registers and takes responsibility for the care of the group. He or she is also asked to carry a charged mobile phone so that contact can be made at any time to our Walk Control Helpline should anything unforeseen occur. Everyone in the group gets one of our distinctive peaked caps to identify you as taking part in the event.
As well as being a fantastic community occasion, the Saffery Rotary Walk is a fundraising opportunity. You will be pleased to learn that 100% of your registration fee will be added, without deduction, to our donations to the 22 pre-selected Bailiwick Charities. Money raised in the Island for the Island. But additionally, you are encouraged to raise as much sponsorship as you are able. Either using our downloadable sponsorship form or through the Race Nation fund raising facility.
You will find more details of all aspects of this year's Saffery Rotary Walk on our web site - https://www.safferyrotarywalk.org.gg
Remember that in registering for the Walk, you are agreeing to support those specific charities which have successfully applied to the organisers for funds. The Walk is not intended as a vehicle to raise funds for other charities.
