Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit the COVENTRY KNITATHON's Just Giving Page!

 

We are planning a sponsored, world record breaking knit-a-thon – all in the name of Comic Relief

 

The idea is that we break the current GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS FOR THE MOST PEOPLE TO KNIT SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR 15 MINUTES!

 

The current record is 937 people and we are aiming to get a whopping 1,000 of you knitting together in Coventry Cathedral!  So we need YOUR HELP!

 

Getting involved and get knitting…   The event is on 17 March in the Coventry Cathedral, entry time TBC

 

If you are planning on attending the knit-a-thon we would like you to donate or raise a minimum of £5 sponsorship. 

 

Please also GET IN TOUCH to let us know if you plan to attend so we can start counting and making travel arrangements.  Or if you would like some more information or assistance in learning to knit: 

 

Email: cov_knitathon@hotmail.co.uk, OR tel. 07989533401 for further details.
