Many of you will have seen the Fiona Foundtion logo on the Parish football kit over the last few months. Kevin Savage is still taking orders for these – £30 in adult sizes and £20 in kids sizes. Kevin is a great supporter of the Fiona Foundation and has recently raised over £100 from various football club fund raising opportunities. He’s a top bloke!
Football kits to order
July 8th, 2012John Fitzgerald – Edinburgh in a heatwave!
July 8th, 2012John recently completed the Edinburgh marathon on a baking hot Sunday morning. What a fantastic achievement! We are really grateful to John who marked his achievement by raising over £600 for the Fiona Foundation. Thanks
John O Hare – Chorlton’s Man of Iron
July 8th, 2012John recently completed the Iron Man challenge. Chorlton has witnessed his staggeringly committed training schedule over the last few months and everyone is so immensely proud of his achievement. The fact that he pulled his hamstring in the opening mile of running the marathon was, of course, no deterrent. The man eats pain for breakfast!
Summer Party Success
July 8th, 2012On 30 June at Manley Mere we had a fabulous day and evening. The weather was kind enough to make the adventure trail grotesquely muddy and yet warm enough for the barbecue and party to be a proper summer occasion. The kids had a great time, the adults seemed happy enough and the 50 or so of us who camped over looked suitably war torn the following morning. The raffle raised a few bob and the prizes were plentiful. Thanks go to Clare and Beth who organised the whole thing wonderfully, to all those who donated the raffle prizes and for everyone for making such an effort to join us.
The summer party
May 21st, 2012The summer party is taking place at Manley Mere near Chester on 30 June. If there is anyone who has not received an invite please don’t hesitate to contact us so that we can send you the invitation. Entry is by ticket only. We look forward to seeing you.
Football kit launch
February 6th, 2012On Sunday 19 February from 1.30pm onwards at the Bowling Green we will be having a get together to launch the Fiona Foundation logo on the Parish football kit. As always the Fiona Foundation is a great reason and an excuse for folks to meet up and enjoy the opportunity to meet with friends and to remember Fiona (and she knew how to enjoy an afternoon in the pub!)
John Hannaway and the long walk to Wicklow
February 6th, 2012John completed the Art O Neill challenge. He was doubtless the winner in his age group; there can’t have been many as old and unwise to undertake a 54km walk overnight in the middle of January. The story of climbing in and out of peat ditches is really quite unpleasant. However, the great man finished the walk in 14 and a half hours. He raised several hundreds of pounds for us. He also set the bench mark. Next year it is going to be the coast to coast walk as a warm up for El Camino de Santiago and other such unlikely ambitions. Thanks John.
Fiona’s Garden
February 6th, 2012Chorlton residents will have noticed the work going on in the grounds of the Church at St. Johns. Greg Fildes has been battling the freezing weather and has made a significant start on the garden. The foundation is laid and the planting will start in the next few weeks.
Christmas Party Update
February 6th, 2012We raised nearly £6,000 at the Christmas Party. Thank you for making it such a wonderful evening.
