Lovechickens walking up hills challenge 2007!

The 6 nations is now drawing to a close with 2 games to go, many of us have enjoyed various trips away to support our beloved Wales and despite a dire performance so far, there have been some awesome sessions.

Personally, Scotland for me this year lived up to its usual brilliance with a hardcore crowd of us living it up for 3 days in relative luxury, even though I did freeze my bollocks off in the match. I always say I’m not going to the match next time, but I always end up with a ticket in my hand and not enough clothes on to watch another Scotland v Wales thriller (yawn).

It was a shame some more of us couldn’t have made it (that’s a dig at you Roberts!) but we did have a few drinks to absent LC’s and we still love you all even though some of you annoy the shit out of me (in particular Ski & Bruce and your almost on this list as well now Roberts!!).

I must say that a big hand goes out to the Yanks this year. They arrived in force in Edinburgh and drank like legends. Its always good to see you guys and I hope to see you all very soon.

Anyway, to the point of this post. Once this years festivities are all over and done with and Wales beat Italy on Saturday and then go on to give England an even bigger tonking than they got in Croke Park; 4 brave and stupid souls among us have decided to do something good for a change and raise some money for a good cause.

The good cause is the National Deaf Children’s Society (and if one other person says ‘what?’ to me again when I mention the charity there will be a beating). The brave and stupid souls are me, Ferg, Pete The Meat and Phil Kite. And the challenge is to climb up Britain’s three highest mountains in 24 hours on the first weekend in June and we will be kindly driven round by Mr Devonald.

However, the hardest challenge of all in this undertaking will be to raise the money we have promised to the NDCS. We have agreed (maybe foolishly) to raise £5000 towards their cause which of course isn’t going to be easy!

We have now been fundraising for roughly 2 weeks and from our neat little totaliser to the right you will se that we are currently on £1616.02 out of a target amount of £5000 which is roughly 32% raised so far.

It is however with some disappointment that only £160 of this has been donated by you lot, the Lovechickens RFC membership!!!! Donating to this cause is not an option, giving us your hard earned cash is mandatory and the penalties for not donating will be very harsh!! Namely a severe beating, having to share a room with Morgs and a sucky eye off Ski! So you have been warned!

We have roughly 12 weeks to go before we undertake this challenge so we need to raise this cash as soon as we can. Together, the LC membership can give our funds a hell of a boost and set us well on the way to achieving our total!! So get your hands in your pockets right now and give us some of your dosh!

To donate, click on the ‘donate now’ button on the totaliser or visit:

Finally, we are currently one or maybe two team member short for this little stroll. So if any of you fancy laughing your way up and down three mountains then you will be welcome to join us. However, you must committed and be ready to raise some dosh towards the cause. If you do then let me or Ferg know as soon as possible.


Thank to all LC’s who have donated so far, you are excused from getting sucky eyed!!

Enjoy the rest of the 6 nations guys and I hope to see you all soon (except of course you Ski x).

Champers.
