Garry receives
a cheque from "Two Good Looking Gentlemen" from the Potters Power
Forum
'Garry Stead
Walkathon'
Stoke's
unofficial website
POTTERS POWER FORUM
I would like to say a big thank-you to everybody who participated
in the Garry Stead walkathon at Apedale.
As one of the event organisers, I would publicly like to thank my
fellow organisers, Apedale Heritage Centre, everyone who turned up on
the day and everybody who sponsored the walkers.
On the day nearly £3,000 was raised, and it may well double when
all pledges are in. Garry was Captain of Stoke Potters.
As an independent group of supporters, and moderators of the
unofficial Stoke speedway forum, Potters Power were only too glad to
organise an event to raise funds for Garry.
Every little helps, they say, and once again a big thank-you to
everybody concerned. PHIL SMITH
