The Back-Up Ramble 2007 was a huge success
A big thank you to everyone who made it through the high seas of middle England to The Back-Up Ramble in Hampshire last Saturday. The event was a lot of pirating fun and raised money for Back-Up in the process! If you haven’t got your sponsorship money in yet please do so as soon as possible so we can add up the final amount raised.
Congratulations to Team Youcef for completing the course in 1 hour 14 minutes. Best dress award went to Jill’s Jolly Rogers for their outstanding effort. Saturday night’s party went on in to the small hours and the extremely generous supply of food from Waitrose never ended.
