<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some of you may have noticed on our walks programme
that the second walk back after Easter is a sponsored one. The idea is to
raise as much money as possible for the Michael Blakey Memorial Fund. This fund
is aimed at founding a centre in memorium of Michael Blakey: an ex-Swansea
student killed in India last year - He was also a member of the Hiking Club
while at Swansea. The centre will aim to carry on his aid work by providing
healthcare and support for the poor and homeless in the Kangra Valley, India.
This is an extremely worthy cause and one well worth supporting.</FONT></DIV>

the walk I would encourage to make a donation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>People will be sponsoring you to walk the 22 miles
from Rhossili back to Mumbles. This makes the hike C,1 grade. Having said that,
we will be starting early in the day and the light will last: everyone can
participate! We will probably split into groups so that you will be walking with
people of your own ability. If anyone feels that this feat isn't
possible, 25 people did it last year: it can be done :-) This walk
will take you the length of Gower, allowing you to take in all the beautiful
scenery in one day. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>People wishing to participate should sign up before
Easter and collect a sponsorship form. This will give you the Easter holidays in
which to find sponsors. The club will collect the sponsorship after the walk and
send the money to the fund.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope as many of you as possible will support
us,</FONT></DIV>
