Well once again here we are - loads to say...

First things first - fund raising. You will recall last year the 10k fundraiser for Weston Park. At the beginning of the football season I had been very vocal in offering support to a Wednesday player who had been targetted for criticism by a significant sector of support - so much so that I even offered to bet the first 20 people that he would score more goals than Akpo Sodje - a player that I feel is over rated!! Sodje spent most of the season injured and my bet was won (Leon Clarke picked up 8 goals) - and Im delighted to say that most of the people who took the bet have agreed to donate their money to Weston Park - along with a few others - so theres another £600 in the coffers for them..

This coming weekend Im delighted to have organised a school reunion for pupils at Aston Comprehensive during the 80's - there will be an 80's disco and theres around 200 people coming - all tickets sold will be donated to Weston Park too which should comfortably be at least another £600.

Ive also accepted my next Challenge - a Coast to Coast cycle ride from Grange-Over-Sands to Filey in September - so training is under way for that. I intend to use the blog to chart the progress and training I undertake. More info later.

Work continues to represent a challenge - not helped by the current financial climate - but I have a few things Im working on and hope I can start to turn the corner there soon.

Finally, anyone who is a regular reader, or familiar with me on a personal level will know just what a big role Sarah played in my recuperation last year. Im very sorry to announce that we are no longer together and I would like to wish her all the best, and offer my sincere thanks to her for everything she did for me last year. Sarah, will miss you SHD. x

On that sad note - I'll wish you all the very best.
