Marshalling at the Two Bays Tough Ten Challenge
We were asked by Weston Lions to assist them in marshalling the 10 Mile run starting on Weston beach, along the promenade, all the way to Kewstoke and back, through the weston woods, across to Knightstone island and back to the beach to the finish line.
I feel worn out just writing about it, but over 1000 runners took part!!
The weather was very kind to our 7 marshals for the Sunday morning task.
A very rewarding event and an excellent way of raising funds for good causes.

Some of our earlier Marshalling events
“Lions Message in a Bottle”
This scheme is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the Fridge. Whilst it is focused on the more vulnerable people in our community, anyone can have an accident at home, so this scheme can benefit anyone.
By completing the information on the form, it will save the Emergency Services valuable time in identifying the individual and whether they have special medication or allergies. It is not only a potential lifesaver, but also it provides peace of mind to the users, their friends and families in knowing that prompt medical treatment is provided and that the next of kin / emergency contacts are notified.
Supplies are available through Doctors Surgeries, Health Centres.
