Oxford Oxfam Group Walk - 12 June 2010

There will be a sponsored walk on 12 June 2010
It is a lovely route from Lake Street – New Hinksey – Osney – Binsey – Godstow – Wolvercote – Burgess Field Nature Park – Oxford Canal Walk – Mill Stream Walk – Grandpont – Lake Street

That comes to 10 miles in total, but there is a 5 mile option for those preferring a shorter route.
We have set up a web page on which you can register to take part - please do so, and encourage friends and colleagues to do so too. Word of mouth from OOG members is a way we can get a lot of people to turn out and walk. It is likely to be as effective or more than any amount of advertising. So please, do spread the word to your network. We will shortly have set up a "virginmoney giving" page (it's pretty much the same as "justgiving" - a system that allows you to request sponsorship by email rather than needing to trudge round with a paper form).
Publicity work is getting under way - as a starter we have a twitter account (@OOGWalk) if you use twitter, please follow us and help us spread the word.
If you have contacts with local groups that might want to do the walk, please do let them know. Or if shy, let me know (volunteer@oxfordoxfamgroup.org.uk ). We have a great route, & just need to get walkers out there in order to turn this into a really good fundraiser.
