Just Giving target

I've raised my Just Giving target to £1500 as it seems people are less likely to donate when it says "100%" target achieved. Please help me raise another £200 for the British Red Cross.
5 kayaking colleagues who weren't able to complete the challenge on 2 September, were able to do it in spectacular time on 2 October. Fantastic!
I've hung up my paddle for the time being, but you can still donate to a great cause, in return for using the free website resources.
Donate or find out more at Just Giving
Thank you, Carol

Composer wins worldwide competition!

Josh, the composer of the music used in all our mp3 files, is one of the 8 winners of the Abbey Road Studios 80th Anniversary Anthem Competition! He composed the choral piece "Thank You Eternally" using his composing pseudonym. He's heading off to Abbey Road Studios next week to record his piece with the London Symphony Orchestra and Eric Whitacre. Fantastic news, and well deserved! (that's my boy!) More details on this website or the Abbey Road Studios website

Josh is standing at the back, at the right hand side of the door.
