CHELMSFORD UNITY PHABSEIL HELD ON THE 11th SEPTEMBER WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
DESPITE THE WEATHER WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT. WE HAD 34 PEOPLE ABSEILING DOWN ESSEX COUNTY HALL WHICH INCLUDED CLUB MEMBERS LISA STOPFORD, IAN MURRAY AND JO DALE’S MUM PAULINE. ONE BRAVE LADY DRESSED UP AS A BUNNY GIRL. WE ALSO ROPED-IN 15 PASSERS BY TO TAKE PART. MOST OF YOU REMEMBER SHARON SMITH WHO WORKED FOR PHAB/EDPA SHE ALSO DID THE ABSEIL. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK JOHN&DILLIS FROM THE RED CROSS FOR THERE HELP AND THERE FIRST-AIDERS ALSO THE CHELMSFORD LIONS CLUB FOR THERE SUPPORT ON THE DAY AND MAKING MUCH NEEDED TEA AND COFFEE. ALSO STEVE READ’S MUM & MARK FOR MAKING AND SELLING 100 SAUSAGE ROLLS. AND LINDA FROM OUR CLUB FOR HER HOME-MADE CAKES ALSO GORDON DIMOCK FOR HIS HELP ON THE DAY. THE BLACKTHUNDER GIRLS FROM ESSEX FM WERE A GREAT HIT GIVING AWAY BALLOONS AND OTHER GOODIES. THE ESSEX CHRONICLE PHOTOGRAPHER HAD A GREAT VIEW FROM THE ROOF 110ft DOWN. WE HELD A RAFFLE ON THE DAY WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE LOCAL COMPANIES WHO DONATED PRIZES. WE HOPE TO HAVE RAISED OVER £3,000 POUND FROM SPONSORS. WE DID RAISE £480 POUND FROM THE RAFFLE, FOOD & DRINK AND PEOPLE ABSEILING ON THE DAY FOR OUR CLUB. WE HAVE ALSO MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS FROM THE EVENT AND THE CLUB HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF INTEREST FOR THE FUTURE.
