2016 Sponsored Walk

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I believe the Express published it last week.

Some good news for our walkers ahead of tomorrow's walk...

 

Sainsburys Slough to feed charity walkers

We're underway and have reached Sainsburys Slough. You can follow our progress on the Trust and Club twitter pages.

[David Carpenter]

As it turns out I was able to get to Stag Meadow and then follow the walkers on their journey. Congratulations to everyone taking part in the walk and let's hope a good sum of money is raised as a result of your efforts.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

It's one of the many days where I'm so proud to be part of this club.

 

Thanks to those to helped to organise the walk, to the 20 who braved the dodgy weather to walk 14miles or 8miles across our historical route, to those who supported us on the route (particularly Dave Carpenter and Gary House), and to those who have donated so far and those who put money into the flag and bucket collections that have added £148 to the total, and to Sainsburys Slough for the free hot cross bun and cup of tea.

Despite the showers it was a nice distance to walk with some decent breaks.

 

We'll get all the money together and announce the total money raised sometime next season.

Hi Dan,

Once again congratulations to all the walkers and a particular mention of the two young walkers and the older element. I will get my personal chip in to you/Al Harding later this week.

[Neil Baker]

Well done to all the walkers..... still think you are all mad

 

Good cause, and a real togetherness....

[Alan Greenaway]

_{As one of the walkers ( older element as per Dave Carpenter ) It was great to take part- although I found muscles I did not know I had and am only just recovering!! I was also one of the generation that spent most Sundays at Wexham Park with people such as Alan Harding, Ollie Haywood, Dave Carpenter, Steve Banester and Chris Sliski for a few years building the terracing and pathways around the ground and then helping to manage the clubhouse etc. It was always my hope that we could have returned to Wexham Park but that was not to be. The Important thing is that we will have a home back in Slough now.}

_{WE have a fantastic opportunity to make the people of Slough proud of the football club and we must try to make the club as inclusive as we can get as many new faces involved in the club that we can.}

_{The managers are doing their bit and it is now up to us as supporters to do our bit not only for the next few years but for generations to come.}

[David Carpenter]

Good post Al and I trust the old muscles have recovered! You are of course one of a number of supporters who have over the years moved away but still get to matches on a regular basis. With the current location it has been difficult for some potential supporters to get to matches and particularly the younger ones. Let us hope that this situation can be reversed.

[Bernie Gogan]

Enjoyed the walk, got to talk en route with a lot of people I knew by sight and of course to those I meet week in week out at games. Excellent cause and I suppose to some extent we are all mad Neil, but that madness comes from supporting the Rebels all these years through some very tough times. Support of charities as a result of this traditional end of season walk is something to be proud of and something I hope will continue.

 

Up the Rebels!

Well done ARAAS, excellent interview!

If you have any sponsored walk money still to hand over can you please bring it to a game and pass it onto myself or Mike. Thanks.

Good video, made me smile remembering the walk

[Radders]

Don't remember it being they wet!!! Very good video, enjoyable memories.

[Bernie Gogan]

Well done Mike, I was obviously concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other as I barely remember being filmed!

[Alan Greenaway]

Great video Mike.

Brings back memories of my sore feet and calves
