St Mary’s Church, Kentisbeare Abseiling Challenge
Would you like to take part in the exciting challenge of abseiling down
St Mary’s Church Tower on Saturday September 8th. Then read on!
The event will start at 10am and it will carry on until 4.45pm
This will be a big fun village event with yummy refreshments all day.
This year we had huge expenses mending the church tower so we need to raise funds to cover the costs. What better way to celebrate its completion than to abseil down it!
So please try to raise as much money in sponsorship as you can.
Registration packs are available at Kentisbeare Post Office, or from
Sarah Pritchard or Carole Lunn, with all the information you need.
The registration fee for the abseil is £20.00.
You must be 11 years or over at the time of the event and anyone under the age of 18 must get the registration form signed by a parent or carer.
There is no upper age limit; a 79 year old gentleman took part at an abseil event at Burlescombe!
If you are too young then bring your teddy to do a parachute jump at 2.00pm
The abseil is undertaken at your own risk.
The £20 registration fee will be returned to you if you raise £100 or more!
If you just want to do it without sponsorship that is fine too.
The person in charge of the abseil is Mike Bradford a qualified adventure activities instructor. He has run several of these events in the past and if you would like to check him out this is a link to his website.
If you are thinking about taking part but you have other questions please contact Carole on 01884 266774 or 07764787933 or Sarah on 01884 266673 and we will try to answer them. If we can’t then we will contact Mike.
This is a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself to something new!
Please and register as soon as possible as there are a limited number of places available.
Thank you,
Carole Lunn and Sarah Pritchard
