Sponsored Walk 1

On September 9th 2007 the Breathe Easy Canterbury and District held their annual sponsored walk. It was a very colourful affair this year. At the start local band KD Jazz entertained us before leading us off along the first stretch of the walk. Barbara Sturgeon, Kent Ambassador and award winning broadcaster officially started the walk and walked with us.

We walked from Herne Bay Hampton Pier (or in some cases rode on bicycles and in wheelchairs), the 2 miles or so to The Marine Hotel at Tankerton slopes where we stopped for lunch and more entertainment. The KD Jazz Band played for us again, then once the sandwiches had been consumed Barbara gave us a speech and invited a couple of our members to be interviewed.

We couldn't have asked for a better day.

The KD Jazz Band started us off in style.

The Marine Hotel in Whitstable kindly provided us with the room for this event.

Sponsored Walk 2

We had some more music provided by Chris Baxter who played the harmonica and his friend Alan who accompanied him on the guitar.








Following that Linnea gave us a demonstration of another form of exercise, belly dancing. The glorious weather and a carnival atmosphere ensured a very happy day.

After the entertainment those who were able walked the two miles back to Hampton Pier. So far the walk has brought in over £1000 and there are a few more sponsorship forms to be returned yet!

Strawberry Tea - July 2007

Our July meeting was held in Carol's garden where we enjoyed a Strawberry Tea with wonderful scones, fresh strawberries, jam and lashings of fresh cream. Due to the inclement weather this summer the group invested in a big party marquee and with lots of balloons, bright red tablecloths and music from the 'olden days' it was very festive.
