Xmas Toy Run 2013

[wimpy]

Its that time of the year again when we all have the choice of putting a smile on the faces of children and there families that have to face Christmas in hospital or having rest bite.
Our aim as in the past 3 years is to get presents for these children and as a collective group we will deliver the presents to them. Keeping with the past we will be heading to the JR Children's wards and onto the Chase Hospice in Guildford.

So please put in your diary Saturday 21st December 2013. Keep an eye on this group page for further details and how this will all come together.

I have created a page on Facebook this year so we can have a main hub as well as the club sites. Please click on the link and join the page and if you are up for joining the fun please click on the events section on the group page and get your names down. I will update on here also as in past years.

Thanks you all and I hope to see you all again this year.

Hello mate. On the list so far is 58 but could be more could be less. The day will end at the Chase in Guildford where the kind staff normally put on tea,coffee or soft drinks along with cakes and biscuits. Most people are on the road home by 5pm. However you are free to go at what ever time you need to.
