'Strongest Man' competition amongst the prisoners at HMP Bullingdon.

It was an all day event and ten prisoners took part with others spectating and supporting.  It was an excellent day with friendly competition throughout.  They had deadlifts, flipping tractor tyres from one point to another, pull massive weight with harness on for 2 minutes or a certain distance (whichever came first) bench press and other events.  All in all they have raised over £500. They were all proud to say they were doing it for 'the soldiers' and the Afghan Trust.

Members of PARA Company at Catterick have had a team that have been biking from Lands End to John O Groats, Maj Stuart Morgan, Denis Buff, Gav Froley, Chris Mansell have been part of the team, with Phil Stout running the support team.  They have been on the road for 7 days and finished on Friday 12th Aug. Lots of people have donated so far.
