Burr Oak Clock
« on: April 26, 2016, 07:31:23 PM »
WIN A QUALITY BURR OAK CLOCK
I hope this is allowed on this forum if not someone let me know and I shall remove it.
My wife Jane has had terrible luck with her Father, Mother and Sister all being taken from us a a young age due to Cancer. Everyone has a similar story and we wanted to do our bit to find a cure quicker so.
 Jane, my Daughter Kirsty and I are walking 206 mile Glasgow to Fort William via the West Highland Way and climbing UK's highest mountain Ben Nevis, for a Cancer Research charity walk.
To drum up more sponsors and reward those who have already donated I am going to give this clock to a lucky winner.
Anyone who has sponsored us will be put in a draw when we return from our walk and one will win the clock.
The Picture is the actual clock.
If anyone can donate it will be very much appreciated.
the link to our just giving is

I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be allowed.

Good luck with the walk, I hope you raise lots of money!
