Today we got our first publicity in a newspaper. The Hunts Post carried a piece under the Community heading. It was a good photograph in colour of myself and June wearing 'Walk for Uganda' tee-shirts leading a conga with Sharon Pollard, Martin Muir and Jeremy Summerell following on. Jeremy was wearing his Norwich City scarf.St Thomas a Becket Church building was in the background. The article by Angela Singer was well written. She mentioned the purpose of the walk but included salient information about those of us going to Uganda in the summer, the fact that June and myself had met the Ugandan President in London and that our local MP Shailesh Vara was giving us his support. I was also pleased that my old mate Alan Howard was mentioned in the article even though he couldn't be in the photograph. Alan, a Norfolk business man, is coming to Uganda with us, and is walking the Ely to Norwich route in March.

The fact that it's the new year and our walk is out there in the public domain means that we are getting our sponsorship forms out. Each person walking will have their own forms to use so we can get wide spread support. I know, for instance, that David Stokes who is a farmer and walking part of the route will get support from the farming community. If anyone else wants to walk even a short way, as Tom Palmer is doing (Tom is in his seventies) please get in touch with me.

It's great to welcome Sharon Palmer as a a follower (it would be good if others too clicked on to become a follower of the blog). I am also grateful to Bishop David Thomson for giving us some further mention in his own blog.
