This year, in order to raise money to support people who might otherwise not make Barrow AFC Home games, on August 12/13th I am undertaking a sponsored hitch hike to Torquay from Furness, under the auspices of the Bluebirds Trust.

All money raised will go to a match ticket 'fund which the Trust will administer. For example, £40 raised might pay for a class of local children to attend with their teachers, a couple of fans from a community group, someone who would like to go but needs a carer to come with them, a youth club prize, or just a family who have had a bit of a bad time and would like a day out. People can apply to Trust Tickets- we think this way we will get the maximum usage and also those that donated will get a real sense of where their tickets are going.

So, however small (even a £1 gets a child in) please do sponsor, there will be a link posted soon for folk who want to donate. Sponsor forms will also be available at the Trust Office in the ground, from the Carlisle game tomorrow where you can also make donations etc if you wish. I am trying to get to £500.

We'll keep you updated during the 'road trip' through Trust Facebook and Twitter. Please consider sponsoring me and help someone else get down to Holker Street

ALL BARROW ARE'NT WE!

Please do PM if I've got your pledge wrong, forgotten or I have duplicated (eg because I don't know your forum name)

I promise to be better organised Tuesday night! Also you'll be able to put it in in the Trust Office

I think you might be on to something Al, especially after reading this......

I spoke to Steve and took a sponsor form of him but DID NOT offer any money or any amount :lol:

Can see you breaking the 100k barrier at this rate Steve.....
