LIONS TEN TORS ON BODMIN MOOR!
Chairman's report 2019

38th Annual Bodmin Lions 10 Tors.

 

 Hello Everyone,

Once again the Bodmin Lions 10 Tors event has been completed!

 A big well done to the 188 walkers that have taken part in this event to raise money for their own designated charities.

Again thousands of pounds have been raised!

 This year it was held on the bank holiday weekend when there were other events taking place, therefor numbers were slightly down but, what a great day for the event, the sun was shining as were the faces of the walkers that took part!

 The event was started off with Terry Williams, the Town Crier of Bodmin asking for a minute’s silence, in memory of our old friend and honorary Lion, the former town crier of Bodmin, Nick Prideaux, who sadly passed away this week, our thoughts go out to his family.

 We would like to thank Terry for his participation in the event and also to Former Chairman of St. Breward FC, and long-time helper of the Lions, Joe Kay, who this year started the event off for us.

 I would like to thank all those Marshall’s and helpers that made it possible for the event to take place, and again all those back room people that are never seen.

Also of course, all the landowners for allowing us to go across their land!

 A special thanks to Cornwall Search and Rescue, who’s presence is always appreciated by all those attending.

 As last year, the biggest thanks is to all of you, for raising the fantastic sums of money for your own designated charities, and of course getting back to the start safely! Well done to everyone for taking part and we look forward to seeing you next year! (We’ll attempt to book the same weather again for those that requested it!)

 

Next year’s provisional date is Sunday 17th May 2020.

 Thank you,

 Dave Truran – Chairman, Bodmin Lions 10 Tors committee.

Chairmans Report 25th May

 

Well done to everyone who completed the 2018 10 Tors Walk on Bodmin Moor.

 246 walkers completed the 37th annual event, in very hot conditions.

The grit and determination of some of the walkers was inspiring to others.

 To date, (not all the information is in yet!) YOU, the participants have raised in excess of £7000 for your designated charities. Give yourselves a huge pat on the back, a great achievement.

 The gruelling 12.5 mile walk up and down the highest hills in Cornwall was completed with only a couple of minor incidents, and those were blisters on the feet!

 We would like to thank Cornwall Search and Rescue who were on standby all day in case of need.

Also a very big thank you to all the land owners and commoners who allowed us to cross their land and to use their fields for car parking.

 Another thank you to St. Breward Football Club who get in early in the morning to get breakfast organised!

 One of the biggest votes of thanks goes to all the volunteers who help set everything up over the weekend, and the organisers who sort out all the paperwork so the event can safely go ahead.

 But of course the biggest thank you is to all of you who take the time to raise sponsorship and then walk the route in all conditions to raise the funds for your own designated charities.

 Once again, well done to everybody.

We hope to see you again next year,

Next years provisional date is Sunday 5th May 2019

 Thank you

 Dave Truran (Chairman, Lions 10 Tors Committee)

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

Update July 10th 2017

The higest sponsored team for 2017 were the Wispas shown below receiving the Shield

TEN TORS 2017 TOOK PLACE ON SUNDAY 14TH MAY

We had a day given to us, good walking weather with the odd shower thrown in to cool everybody down.
The start was delayed by ten minutes to give time to register two teams held up by some loose horses on the road. Everyone set off at ten past ten instead of the normal Ten o'clock so we kept to the tens for the Ten Tors.

The official starter this year was Lion Gerald Worden, pictured below, Gerald founded the walk back in 1981 & we have held the event every year since with the exception of 2001 during the foot & mouth outbreak. Just before the start all the walkers were called to order by Bodmin's Town crier Terry Williams, Terry welcomed everyone & after thanking landowners, commoners & helpers for the day introduced Gerald.

 

The day went well, six were treated by the search & rescue team for minor injuries but everyone got back safely. So far teams have declared nearly £13,000 in sponsorship for lot's of good causes, remember there is a trophy for the highest sponsored team. If you haven't told us already by handing in your slip please let us know how much money you have raised, you may be the highest team & win the trophy. Please let us know by the end of May as we need to get the Trophy engraved for presentation on the first Monday in July.

Thank you every one who helped including The Rotary Club of Bodmin, Castle Canyke Scouts & of course all our Lions members

 

 

The highest sponsored team for 2016 were Q-Park Walkers, the shield was presented at our annual change of president evening on July 4th, picture on the news page.
