2010 Annual report is HERE

24th May 2010

Just a quick note about the sky tower challenge held last week. A team of 5 competitors and 4 supporters travelled up on the Friday, competed on Saturday and travelled home Sunday. It was a successful event which raised around $190k (this will climb closer to $200k after all money is received) for the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation. Team Newlands raised $4726.43 towards this which is a great first effort!

The results for our competitors are below. (Placing is in category not overall)

Jeff Aukuso D&S 0:14:02 Newlands Vol. Fire Brigade 54th place

Overall this experience was enjoyable and memorable for all involved, we would like to thank everyone who helped us get there, sponsored and supported us. A BIG thank you to tranzit who supplied our transport free of charge.

Photos have been posted on our Facebook page so feel free to have a look and comment on them! We are looking forward to attending again next year to post quicker times and raise more for this great cause.
