Byfleet Charity Match

Last week, Byfleet Village Old Boys (O18s) played Byfleet Village U18s in a charity match at Byfleet rec. The chosen charity was Jigsaw4u, raising money for my funds for the desert trek in the sinai. So naturally I came along and watched an enjoyable but very competitive game! It was very much one sided to the O18s, but the U18s had their fare share of goals and glory! The final score was 6-3 to the over 18s, who had re-formed for the game especially. Their was a quick presentation of the trophy and hand shakes exchanged between both teams. Naturally I took plenty pictures so I have posted a few of my favourites below.

Houses Of Parliament celebration - Sinai 08

All of the YES 2008 and their participants were invited to a tour and presentation at the houses or parliament. It was a wet and horrid day to start and everybody began to arrive, some late. We all went through security then met in the presentation room. We then all got our things together and began our tours in two groups. I got told off as i was not allowed to take my camera on the tour so it had to stay behind :-( Nevermind. However the tour was really intresting and worth looking at. We then all went for the presentation. I was the first person to really speak! I did a quick speech and photo presentation. My photos from the trek were in the background whilst I spoke and I pointed a few out.

The presentation went on, different people speaking and telling their tales. We all then recieved special certificates and photo books as participants for the trek it was really nice to accept them. The presentation then came to and end with Macka's video. It was really nice to end on a reflective video and everybody enjoyed it. (the song got stuck in my head all day!) We then went out for a meal at pizza express and had a good chat! A few of us then went out to London for a few hours and returned home safely after an awesome day. Photos from the day out afterwards : (http://www.pbase.com/richardchapman/london&page=2)
