Vryheid Athletics Club – Walkers go big for charity

It is almost November 1, Christmas and the end of 2015, but before your diaries get filled up with social events make a note of the Hippie and Hobo Year End function on Friday, November 13, at the Pioneer School sports hall.

 

THE Big Walk was a huge success and over 300 walkers, young and old, big and small, took part in this event.

A very big thank you to the Department of Sport and Recreation (our main sponsor); Abaqulusi and to Pioneer School for allowing us the use of the sports grounds. To each and every entrant – thank you – your fee went to a worthy charity (The Sunflower Fund) . Well done to the committee and members for all your effort in helping towards the smooth running of this race.
