Eighteen members of staff from Sony Village are kindly giving up their Saturday to take part in a cross-country relay race on 16 May, and they are looking for your support to help them raise as much money as possible, this year for Home-Start Northwest Hampshire.  We will enter three teams of six runners each this year.

The Emsworth – Basingstoke charity race takes place over 60 miles of beautiful Hampshire countryside, with each runner tackling 2-3 miles of muddy footpaths, stiles and hills on each of the 18 stages. The event has been operating for 20 years, and Sony teams have taken part in 11 of them.

Last year we raised about £1450 which the Sony Basingstoke Donations Committee doubled - we're hoping to at least match that this year.

The teams are:

Sony Blu-rays	Sony Bravias	Sony Walkmans
Matthew Tallis	Ledina Hido	Tony Spiteri
Julia Pankratova	Alan Birtles	Henry Epsom
Malcolm Robinson	Russell Stanley	John Roberts-Davies
Luke Stutchbury	Johanna Petalas	Alan Turner
Chris Clifton	Paul Prayle	Hironori Baba
Xiaochen Cui	Simon Haynes	Peter Michelsen
