We are delighted to announce that following our Crowdfunder Appeal, a beautiful handmade Oak Bench in memory of Jan Edwards has now been installed on Tillington Common.
The appeal to install a bench in Jan’s memory had a fantastic response - rasing £1,680 in a few short weeks. Dave Sherwood, Club Treasurer organised the project and club members Paul Davies and Shaun Hoyes helped Brian install the bench in one of Jan’s favourite spots on the Common. The hand-engraved bench has words chosen carefully by Jan’s family - we hope they are pleased with the final result
Brian hopes the bench will bring much happiness to passing walkers, runners and cyclists for many years.
The club will soon be organising an informal unveiling ceremony to which everyone will be invited including members of Burghill Parish Council who were very supportive and permitted the scheme.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone that donated from all over the county and beyond. We had donations large and small and significant donations from our friends in the local running and Triathlon community. THANK YOU
When all the bills are paid we expect there to be a small surplus which will be donated to Jan’s chosen charity - St Michael’s Hospice - details to follow.
