The TSol Techies challenge *you to a race!

 

When Big Ben strikes 5 O’clock on Friday, 6 July, the TSol Techies (a volunteering team from the ICT Section) will start rowing from Westminster Pier to the Greenwich Meridian to raise money for the Ahoy Centre charity. 

 

Ahoy works with many different sectors: disadvantaged youth; people with disabilities; local schools; people at risk of offending; ex-offenders and; many other groups and organisations.  They also work with the Metropolitan Police and the Probation Service. 

 

This was originally organised to encourage active participation in charitable events and to exhibit TSol’s participation in social responsibility endeavours and of course, for a bit of fun!

 

We need to raise £1,000 plus and so would extremely grateful if you could sponsor us.

 

If you would like to take ICT up on their challenge, you will need to organise a team of one coxswain, six rowers and one extra passenger (extra passenger can swap places with one of the oarsmen if they get tired) and be prepared to complete 2-3 sessions of up to 2hrs training in Greenwich.  Life-jackets, waterproof clothing and at least one safety boat (depending on how many boats compete) will be provided. 

 

Once you have put a team together we will arrange for your team to be added to the Meridian Pull website to assist your sponsorship for Ahoy.

*This challenge is for TSol staff only.
