Only 56 days until the OOG Walk! Happily, preparations are well under way!

Details of the day

Discover a hidden world and change this one. A great family day out with a 5 mile or 12 mile option. Plenty of on the day entertainment including a quiz for the children. It is a lovely route taking in the best of Oxford starting and finishing from Lake Street. History, Scenery, Natural History, a range of good pubs: this walk has it all!

You can register here : www.oogwalk.info (registration is free, and it helps us a lot to know how many walkers to expect)

Walkers can set up a web page to which you can direct friends, family, colleagues etc. They can sponsor you on the web page by credit card. This takes a lot of the hassle out of asking for sponsorship and collecting the cash (other Oxfam walks tell us that walkers who collect sponsorship this way raise three times more on average, compared with folks using paper forms). Sign up in a few simple steps from this page. Within a few minutes you can have your own sponsorship page! My own humble effort (just a few minutes work mind!) is here http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ChrisBaker1
