R&M Supports “1 2 3 Decathlon” 2012

           To celebrate the Olympics coming to London, friends of R&M Bruce Elkins and Peter Harding, have created their  very own exciting sporting event – 1 Decathlon, which will take place across the year to raise much needed funds for 3 special local charities – The Rainbow Centre, The Rose Road Association and Wessex Cancer Trust. The aim is to raise £100,000 to be shared by the three charities, by holding 10 Olympic events over a 1 year period, sponsored by local businesses with hundreds of other people participating in the actual events – along with Bruce and Peter who will be taking part in all of the events!

R&M are excited to be involved in the Decathlon by sponsoring the Walking section of the 10 stage event.  Our aim is to raise a minimum of £20,120 towards the final goal of £100,000 with R&M employees and their friends and families taking part in a 5, 10 or 20 kilometer walk, being held at Manor Farm Country Park on the 25^th of March 2012.

“We are very pleased to be associated with the 1  2  3 Decathlon, and our employee have been more than enthusiastic in supporting the event.  With 40 of our local employees having already signed up to participate in the walk and with many other “not so sporty” members having agreed to “marshal” the event we are confident that we will raise the £20,120 target we have set ourselves!  It is for a great cause and will be a great family day out and with all participants being invited to a free BBQ after the event we anticipate a large turnout on the day!”  William Crook – Financial Director
