1 Decathlon, 2 Fellows, 3 Charities

Please join us for our launch event of the 123 Decathlon Challenge 2012 and take part in a friendly badminton evening. We have over 50 entries already but have a capacity of 96 so there is still time to dust off the racquet and trainers and help raise much needed funds for 3 fantastic local charities that need your support. The cost is £10 to enter to include a ploughman's supper. Closing date is 14th February.

You can download your entry form and find more details about the events on the website at www.cwfellowes.com/123.

Please also 'Save the date' of 25th March to join us for a family friendly day of walks at Manor Farm Country Park.

We look forward to seeing you. Helen Troke MBE and ex European Badminton Champion will be joining us.

Bruce Elkins, Peter Harding, Russell Smart and everyone else that has committed to taking part in one or all the events in 2012.
