Friends of Africa: Message from Émer McGirr - I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone, especially all members of Watty Graham's, who have contributed to my fundraising. Overall I have collected an incredible £4,150 through a street collection (£1,500), my quiz in the club (£2,150) and also through other generous donations (£500). I will now be travelling to Zambia on the 5th July to work on projects such as working with street children alongside local charity, Friends of the Street Children. All the money I have raised will go directly to the projects carried out by Friends of Africa (FOA), and every donation is very much appreciated. Many thanks again, Émer McGirr.

Gear shop: The gear shop will be open on Friday evenings 7.30 to 8pm. There are some extra quantities of the new blue and pink 1/2 zips. First come, first serve.
