THEY MUST BE MAD !.....The Laser Team are always up for a challenge, as was proved for Children in Need 2001, when a number of the Team sailed for 24 hours (enjoyable even if a little cold!) - raising £2,000.
Determined to take part in Children in Need 2003, the Laser Team needed to come up with a less enjoyable feat of endurance to surpass their previous best!
A Walk on the Wild Side has been arranged. At the beginning of this year Laser moved its HQ from Banbury in Oxfordshire to Long Buckby in Northamptonshire - 24 miles away. For Children in Need 2003 the Laser Team is going to WALK the 24 MILES to work (from Banbury to Long Buckby) on Friday 21 st November 2003 .
The Laser Team will set off from Banbury at 1am on Friday 21 st November, hoping to arrive at the Laser Centre, Long Buckby at 9am , ready for a full days' work!
The Laser Team needs YOU to donate to Children in Need any ammount no matter how small makes a difference to the work of Children in Need!
Suppliers and Dealers have all agreed to contribute money to the collection coffers, and the Laser team intend to put their Best Foot Forward and "Step to It" for Children in Need.
If any one would like to sponser us please check out the web site www.lasersailing.com or phone me on 01327 841604
Thank's for your support

| Carried home more like! I worked out the route Yesterday in total it will be 27 miles as we will be going across country. although we could probably double this as our night navigation leaves something to be desired and we will find ourselves walking in circles! |
