Pete’s had his pasty, Gee had as many beers as Dave had packets of jasmine rice, Dan warmed up with a mad 24 hours in Jersey, Heathy’s shaved his legs, Jack is in fine form, Tommo’s shaved his head, Harry’s had a full body massage, Bardy has had his beetroot, Penny is in early for a warm up!
We also have two more team members - Eva and Cameron James are joining their Dad for the 5km to make sure he gets round safely. Big thanks to them for giving up their Sunday morning to help their old man!

These updates are like London Buses! This one is well and truly worth the wait though…

Welcome along, Thomas ‘Tommo’ Barden!
Keep the donations rolling in people!

Thanks for supporting our fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Following the success of last year’s fundraising effort the Dummer Cricket Club runners are at it again. This year we’ll be supporting Macmillan Cancer Support by taking on the challenging Basingstoke Half Marathon (with 10k and 5k options available).
Club stalwart Mark Barden very sadly lost his sister in law Tracy to cancer last year. The Macmillan team were on hand to support both Tracy and her family through what was a very difficult time for them all.
The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.
That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
