Manchester and District Orienteering Club "John o' Goats" Charity Event at Lyme Park |
![]() |
Thank you all for coming and for generously supporting both the Event and the Raffle.
I arrived home to find an e-mail from Mr Peter Msaki at Pasua Primary School in Tanzania saying:
Dear Ruth and Jimy,
Teachers and pupils of Pasua primary school are very happy to wish You a prosperous new year 2007.
Thank You very much for the tireless efforts of doing a fund raising which will enable us to repair a bore hole in our school.
Tha staff and students of Pasua primary are very eager to know how far have you reached in this fund raising so that they can be sure that this year they will get clean water to drink and for domestic use.
Thank You very much for your kindness.
Mr Msaki
I am delighted to be able reply with the news that today's event raised an astounding £1,245 which will be divided between Pasua Primary School and Mama Lucy's orphanage, the Kilimanjaro Children Joy Foundation. For the people of Tanzania this represents about three million shillings and is more money than they dream of. It really will be appreciated and will make a significant difference to the lives of many children over the next few months.
I would like to thank all the MDOC teams for their slick work today; there were many comments from competitors about how much they had enjoyed the event and we were delighted by the enthusiasm and efficiency of everyone who came along to help. Special thanks to the mapping, computer and equipment teams for all they did prior to the event and to the Wednesday night runners who bagged all the maps at Julie's house. Jim and I are indebted to the senior members of MDOC who gave us help and advice in the run-up to the event and enabled us to learn a good deal about planning and organising - my impression was that Jim had done a good job in making the courses interesting and offering route choices to challenge most competitors. Thank you for the kind feedback!
A total of 207 people participated.
This was the largest number ever and exceeded our expectations by so many that we ran out of short course maps. Apologies to the few late registerers who had to run medium courses instead and thank you to Naomi and Marie for marking-up extra maps at the last minute.
MDOC looks forward to seeing you all again at the John o' Goats next year!
