The 5-a-side football tournament was a total success with 16 teams competing passionately for “The Michael Land Memorial Trophy”. It was a fun day with activities for children; including bouncy castles and slides. There was also a grand raffle and a “Whiskey Roll” organised by Michael’s older brother Frazer. The event raised over £1020 for CRY;
Originally I arranged for 21 people to do the White Water Rafting at Canolfan Tryweryn, Bala in North Wales, 3 boats of 7 people in each. Then, as usual, people started to drop out, but I eventually ended with 14 faithful people, most of whom have helped me to raise funds for CRY in the past.
