Wilmslow Wells for Africa
 
 
 


A serious challenge.

DIck Stain and team competed successfully in the Three Peaks Yacht Race, raising money for WIlmslow Wells for Africa

Congratulations to Dick Stain and his team fortheir excellent achievement which raised over £1500 for Wilmslow Wells for Africa. The following is extracted from Dick’s message to his supporters:

"To friends, colleagues, neighbours and rellies Many thanks for sponsoring and supporting us in the Three Peaks yacht race.   We raised about £1500 plus online contributions and as you know this was all for Wilmslow Wells for Africa.   

We had a fabulous race coming in 2nd in the Tilman Trophy  (we get the Bodlyn cup, whatever that is!) and 8th overall. Out of 26 entries.   The weather was awful at times and we spent a scary 12 hours beating into a full gale to get into Whitehaven.

Team Laura website (www.vibro.f9.co.uk) is now updated with photos etc as is the official Three Peaks site at www.threepeaksyachtrace.co.uk

Huw managed to get a little bit in the Macclesfield Express (page 68) and I’ll try and do the same in Wilmslow Express.  There is a television documentary of the race on Channel 4 and S4C on Sunday, 9th September at 8.00am, part of a series called “Adrenalin Rush”

Thanks again folks

Dick"
