The Big Night Out

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? WOW what a fantastic night. Everybody I spoke to said they had a great time. A brilliant turnout, a lot more than last year.

My special thanks go to Jet Sommers, Tony Lord, Phil James, Carolyn, King Godfrey, and of course Little Gem. Remember all these artists worked for free on the night, and they had a great time. We would also like to thank East Bowling Unity Club for allowing us to use their club. Many thanks to everyone who turned up on the night and supported a great cause.
 

There’s More

You probably noticed an electric scooter near the stage, well the generous people of East Bowling Unity Club bought the scooter and gave it to the Bradford branch. In turn we gave it to Mr Skipton. May he have many hours of enjoyment travelling around on it.

Summer Outing

We are hoping to arrange another outing again this year. If all goes according to plan it should be June 28th. We are hoping to go to Millstones again same as we did last year.

We will keep you informed of any changes to this announcement.
 

Church Service

Or not as the case may be. On Saturday the 19 April We arranged for a church service to commemorate 50 years of The M.S. Society. It was held at Buttershaw Congregational Church. We thought we would have had a reasonable turnout, but we were wrong. Not many people turned up and the chairman was not happy.
 

Charity Founder's Son
Takes One Million Steps for MS

The 65-year-old son of the founder of the Multiple Sclerosis Society will set out in April to walk from Edinburgh to London to raise funds for the UK's largest MS charity.

Simon Cave is taking his 'one million steps for MS' to mark the Society's 50th anniversary. His father, Richard (later Sir Richard) Cave, whose wife had MS, launched it at a meeting in Chelsea in 1953. The walk of around 500 miles will start at 10am on Saturday 26 April at the Forth Road Bridge and end around five weeks later at Tower Bridge. Said Simon, "As well as founding the Society, my father devoted his life to caring for my mother, who contracted MS when she was only 27. A five-week stroll through the countryside seems pretty tame in comparison. "A heart bypass eight years ago gave me a new lease of life. Walking is such an everyday activity, but one denied to so many people with MS. In addition to fundraising, I hope that my walk will help to raise awareness of the limitations imposed by this cruel disease.

"One million steps is, I reckon, roughly the number of paces I shall be taking. If someone would care to pledge £1 per step, I'll willingly count the exact number"
