SWMF TEAM IN CHARITY WALK

On Sunday 20th November a team of 11 employees of South West Metal Finishing from both Exeter and Chippenham
took part in a charity walk organised by Alder King across Dartmoor in support of the Royal Marine C Group. 
The team met at Upper Haytor Rocks at 11.30along with 30 or so other participants and completed the walk in about 2 /3 hours in surprisingly and thankfully mild conditions. The walk was quite challenging in places with several steep hills and some hazardous boggy patches!!

The South West Metal Finishing and SWMF Chippenham team raised a total of £470 which was the most raised by one company and led to the Company being awarded the 'MUDDY BOOT' trophy seen pictured here being awarded by Ralph Collison from Alder King and the Cheif executive of the Royal Marines C Group Col. Toby Middleton.

Participants from the Company were as follows (photo from left to right) Paul Jacbos, Ruth Urbsyte (& Zac the dog), Jackie Jacobs, Roger Lethaby, Stephen Blackmore, John Tolliday, Chris Mayer, Geoff Fitzsimmons, Andrew Mayer, Shane Mclary, Peter Giles (& Buffy the dog)

A bit about what the Royal Marine C Group do:

The C Group's aims can be summarised as follows:-

• To raise awareness and understanding of the Royal Marines and the current issues facing them.
• To support the on-going rehabilitation and re-integration of injured Royal Marines, whether this is within the Corps or in a new direction in a civilian career.
• To provide facilities and opportunities to support the welfare and personal development of serving and former Royal Marines as the need arises.

We are still collecting sponsorship and will update this once we know how much the Company and the Event Raised
