New Years Day Dip - St Bees

 Lucy and I took part in the New Year's Day dip at St.Bees beach. We all met at the RNLI lifeboat station at 11:45 then at 12:00 we ran into the sea which was absolutely freezing. 

It sounds crazy but it was actually quite enjoyable and we raised a total of £30 which will go towards the Tanzanian link!

On New Year's Eve at 10am we all met by Zest Harbourside and warmed up by doing the Hokey Cokey. 

At around 10.30am around 100 or more locals ran into the sea for various charities. 

Myself, Abby and Kate ran in, with the money which we raised from sponsors going to the Tanzanian Link. We raised a total of £160.

Christmas Carol Singing 🎅🎄🎶

On Monday the 22nd of December a group of 6 students and 5 leaders sang carols on King street in order to raise money for the Tanzanian link. Despite the drizzly December weather everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we brought the Christmas spirit to Whitehaven. Local shoppers seemed to appreciate our enthusiasm with several joining in, thanks to Mary's festive spirit! We raised a grand total of £293.96 after an enjoyable day putting us all in the mood for Christmas!

Group Meeting - 4.1.15

On Sunday 4th January we had another of our annual group meetings, taking place at moresby hall from 4 to 6. At this meeting we did a number of activities including team building exercised and a question and answer session with former members of the Tanzania Link. The meeting started with team building which was a lot of fun and really brought the teams closer together. After which we were asked to come up with problems concerning the inward and outward visit, and think of solutions to them. We then discussed fundraising which some students have done since the last meeting including some students who took part in the New Years dip in Whitehaven and St Bees. The last part of the meeting was a question and answer session with 4 former students of Tanzanian Link, many of whom have hosted Tanzanian's and have been to Tanzania. With a wide variety of questions which ranged from how to stop feelings of home sickness to how long is the flight.
