A huge thank you

[Snappy]

Thanks to everyone involved in today's Walk to Wycombe Part III.

Marshalls, fellow walkers, organisers, sponsorers, every single person who worked so hard and contributed to make this possible.

It was a superb day today, capped magnificently by the very apt timing of Mr Tabb. I was leaping around like a five year old high on sugar and e-numbers when that went in! For a few moments (unfortunately only a few) all the pain disappered!:D

Today was my first W2W but certainly not my last, and I can highly recommend it to any of you out there who have not experienced the feeling of satisfaction, togetherness and achievement you get when you finally finish the walk.

So, well done, thanks to you all, and see you at GP on Saturday!

Well done Atto! I have a cheque in my wallet for you. The walk is the best thing I've ever done and I'll defo. be doing W2W4. Just wish Wycombe W. would be a bit more hospitable regarding our walkers efforts.

Congrats. to all the walkers, you've done yourselves and your Club very proud today! :wave:

i thought it was a bit unfair that we didn't get a mention at half time. i tried to hunt down the megaphone bloke, but the wycombe guard people stopped me. :(

Cheers SC, will PM you my address if you want to post it to me? By the way, you're going to have one hell of a job to get your crown back off Bristol Bee, he's got rockets attached to his shoes! :eek:

[Silly Chip]

I spoke to him in the stands and was amazed at the time he did :eek: On W2W2 he was desperate to goto the toilet, we unsportingly didn't wait for him and sped off :D Really nice person just like all the walkers are :yes:

Please do PM your address and I'll post straight away!

did a young 12 year old do the walk

[div1-here-we-come]

how long did it take you?

[Snappy]

Bristol Bee finished at 11.50am in about 6 hours 50 mins I believe, the final group came in at around 2pm, a very respectable time of 9 hours.

Everyone made it round without lifts from the marshalls with was an extra achievement.

did a young boy do the walk then atto bee

Well done all you Walkers today. I hope to do the Walk next year but could be somewhere else as we may have sent Wycombe Down.

I am very proud of you all .

BFC Great club great people.

My sincere apologies Egham, couldn't focus on my watch properly having been in the bar for a bit!

Well done all the walkers and everyone associated with the event. I'm sure that all Brentford fans are proud of yur achievements.

I said about the last walk, that Pinch and his mate walked to Wycombe for £20 sponsorship. I was really pleased that this prompted some people to send in money as extra sponsorship for Pinch and his mate, which made their walk even more worthwhile than it already was.
This time round, it happened again. I believe them to be Rock on U Bees, Feltham Bee, Claire and Annette (sorry don't know their GPG usernames), who walked to Wycombe for a considerably low sponsorship figure. Feltham Bee, for example, only raised £30, which he believed would be enough to make him walk to Wycombe, and thereby help save our great club. These 4, aged only 16-18, went through alot during the walk (they're only young, ah bless!) and came through it for the love of Brentford. I have to admit that I haven't got the guts to walk to Wycombe myself, but it such people who make me proud to be a Bee.

If it is possible, please send a PM to one of these 4 young 'uns, and arrange a little extra sponsorship money for them, or drop a little extra into a bucket at the next home game for them. I'm sure that they would be over the moon if some more sponsorship came in for them, and it would have made it even more worthwhile than it already was for them. Feltham, Rock On U Bees, Claire or Annette, PM me your address, and I'll send in a cheque for some sponsorship.


Even though every walker has their place in Brentford history, I just wanted to mention PJ for completing his 3rd Walk to Wycombe. Although he claims it gets harder each time, he sprinted across the line at the end to bring up the rear!!! Well done to PJ, a Brentford fan who'd run through a brick wall for the club. In addition, I wanted to mention Alfie, who completed his 2nd Walk to Wycombe and also walked from Brighton to Griffin Park back in the 60's, which might also indicate his advancing years! Finally, to 13 year old Jake Gowers who completed the walk with his Dad, Rod. Rod, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for making him go through such agony!!! :nono: :D ;)

Well done to the Walkers!

[Leicester Bee]

Sorry, I've just realised that Ayes Bee beat me to it with please for extra sponsorship.
