Fundraising Sponsored Walks and BBQ
SUNDAY 30th AUGUST at 2.00-500pm
All are welcome, so bring family and friends and enjoy are great day out in the countryside doing your little bit to help raise funds for our very own cause.
This year the ‘Garioch Lions Club’ are providing the BBQ facilities with a choice of juicy Burgers or Bangers and soft drinks for all, so......
make SUNDAY 30th AUGUST a FUN DAY and a successful ‘FUNDRAISING’ DAY!
Fundraising
Although the day is intended as a fun day out for members and friends to meet, greet and share experiences, we should bear in mind that the underlying purpose of the BenStroll is to raise much needed funds to help our association provide Cardiac Exercise classes for all who need given that we receive no formal core funding what so ever, for our classes.
So, pick up your Sponsorship sheet and get family, friends and work colleagues to support your effort
and pledge some cash.
EVENT DETAILS
The event will take place at the ‘Back O’ Bennachie’ Forestry Commission Walks’, just beyond the village of OYNE on the B9002, which is accessible from the A96 Aberdeen to Inverness road, approximately 6 miles North of Inverurie on SUNDAY 30th AUGUST at 2.00pm.
Walker registration opens at 1.30pm. and the walk commences at 2.00pm.
For safety reasons no walkers will be allowed on the route prior to this time and all walkers must follow the sign posted routes.
Two walks will be available to suit the needs of most people:
(a) A short walk of about 2 miles mainly on open Forestry gravel roads of shallow incline but also through a wooded track in the final stages on the return to the finish line check-in. |
|
(b) A longer walk of about 4.25 miles initially on the open Forestry gravel roads but latterly through wooded forest paths on an incline rising to approx. 300 feet from the starting point. |
ENTRY FEES
The Entry Fees, which includes the Barbeque, are £5.00 for adults and £3.00 for children of 12 years and under. Being a natural woodland site, there are no facilities other than toilets and we would highly recommend that you take with you folding or portable canvas chairs for your own comfort at the Barbeque after the walk is over.
