The Rotary Vehicle and Steve Tong's Goliath left Hull packed with boxes and bags of bras - the initial appeal which was launched at Conference and received over whelming support. So much so that there were too many to send in the convoy - after all they did need to take essential provisions and equipment not to mention clothes with them! As you can see from the photo the bras arrived and Ceclia came to collect them. Below are extracts from Ceclia's emails to me. "Thanks for everything have taken the bra and books to the British council and all we received. Hope to hear from you soon. Please extend my thanks to Baez and others" "Hope we will keep in touch always. Thanks again for all the concern towards us" I still have bags of bras at home and other donors are holding some back so the next action point is to get these shipped out to the British Council which will probably be after Christmas now. Anyone who can help please contact

 Thanks to everyone who has supported this momentous and ground breaking appeal, over 50% of clubs in District 1270 and many throughout the country have now "Passed the Hat", if your club hasn’t then get passing and help 1270 to make a clean sweep. This invitation to "Pass the Hat for Huntley, Pay a Pound for Peace" is also extended to Rotarians and friends throughout the world.
Our first target was $250,000, when we launched the appeal the fund stood at around $114,000, in March 2007 the financial value was $157,000 and we have a realistic chance of reaching $200,000 by the end of this Rotary year. When RIBI President Allan Jagger attended the District 1270 Conference he was presented with an inscribed top hat that he will use to swell the funds of the Bill Huntley Endowment on his travels during his Presidential year. Thanks to Allan’s efforts donations are now rolling in from Rotary clubs and events the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland – from as far apart as Worcester Severn and Helensburgh. |

 At 12.30pm on Tuesday 20 November, Bas along with fellow trailblazers Anna, Justine, Mark, Alison, Jon and Steve arrived back in Hull to a hero's welcome.
Along with the families eager to meet the weary travellers were Rotarians from Humberside, Hull Paragon and Lincoln.  Look North presenter, Crispin Rolf was amongst those to meet them. On this occasion Bas was not interviewed for the Humberside News and Look North item (yet to be screened) but his video footage was given to Crispin to be used as part of the article to be screened in advance of the young trailblazers, Andy, Mike and Jonathan's return on Satuday 24 November. Like all the other trailblazers Bas left Hull for a well earned sleep that will probably for days. |
