The Baden Powell Project
Events
The following events are taking place in order to raise money and restore the Baden Powell:
2 August 2009 - "Ride The Tide" - Fundraiser for the Baden Powell
How far up the Great Ouse will Tim Clayton go in his little dinghy when he
pushes off from King's Lynn Ferry with the rising tide on Sunday August 2nd?
Have a flutter - a £5 bid buys you a 40 metre section of the river. If
that's where Tim stops, you'll get £500. For further information

At 10am the walkers will start from the lighthouse on the Wingland, east side of the river Nene at Sutton Bridge. The wash walk is about 10 miles to West Lynn along the coastal path. Each walker will aim to have at least 10 sponsors and we invite each sponsor to give generously whatever he or she can afford. To download a sponsor form click here: Sponsor Form
