8 October 2017 - Annual Rotary Romsey Test Way Walk

Please do sign up to the Test Way Walk  and walk for Gift of Sight, raising funds for children's eye research. We will provide a polo shirt or t-shire to everyone who raises funds for our cause which will both advertise who we are and show that you're supporting us!   Specsavers in Romsey have sponsored Rotary Romsey Test for the event and have chosen Gift of Sight as their Charity.  Please join us by registering at http://walkthetestway.org.uk/

At the bottom of the registration form you will see a box asking if you are 'part of a team'  Please quote #364 which will add you to Ailsa's team and then let us know that you have joined so that we can keep in touch.

Our team JustGiving page is https://www.justgiving.com/companyteams/GoS-TWW  Please do add your own individual page (making sure you've opened a Rotary JustGiving page - not a Gift of Sight one) so that we can all see how much we are raising to help fund our vital children's eye research.  All manual lsponsorship must be delivered to Rotary as well and they send us a cheque after the event! Thank you.
