Isabel Hospice Silver Jubilee 2007 Charity Walk
The annual 5 mile (8 km) charity walk by customers and friends of the Black Horse is to take place on Sunday 7th January 2007. This will cover the same route as the last two years, from the BH down the Cole Green Way to Letty Green and back again.
As 2007 is the Silver Jubilee year for the Isabel Hospice, we have chosen this as our nominated charity.
Strollers, canterers, gallopers and even cyclists will be gathering at 10.30 am for coffee and bacon rolls (all profits to I.H.) for the 11 am start.
If anyone wishes to join us , sponsorship forms are available from the pub and can be downloaded as a PDF document from our website. www.blackhorseherts.co.uk
Last January we raised £2,800 for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Let's improve on that total this time.
Many thanks in advance.
Tony and Linda and of course, The Isabel Hospice

Dobbin and I would like to thank all the walkers who participated in the charity walk yesterday. There were not as many as we had hoped or indeed as taking part the last two years, but those who did are doing a sterling job in helping to raise money for a worthy LOCAL cause.
We will let you know the total figure raised as and when it becomes available.
Many thanks again to those who spared their time on a Sunday morning, children and dogs included. A big thank you must also go to those of you who sponsored a walker.
PS It is not too late if you still want to donate. Just call in at the Black Horse and see us. No donation is too small.

We are pleased to announce that the grand total raised for the Isabel Hospice from the sponsored walk in January is £1,500. It was £1,410 and a customer made it up to £1,450 so another customer, made it up to £1,500. Tremendous people.
Thank you one and all for supporting this worthy local cause.
I would also mention that we will be holding a "Race Night" in March, again to raise more money for the hospice. Watch this space.
Chicken and chips will also be available on the night at a nominal charge, with profits to go to Isabel Hospice.
