Guest Speaker

  • Massive thanks to Sean Delaney for telling about his journey to becoming a World Record Holder and for enlivening his talk by bringing along part of the costume that earnt him that record! A great story and great to see the support he has got in GG Lewisham as well as from Stephen Corry with whom he couldn't've done the race and got that record! Brilliant story! As promised please find more information on the record attempt here and please please donate if you can here!

Right that is it from me! Thank you all for coming, you keep me smiling every month and thanks again to all of those coming for the first time - i know it must be a bit scary but hopefully you are enjoying it and benefiting from meeting us regulars too!
