BBQ from 1:30pm

All proceeds from the BBQ will go towards Tom Hatfields Act4Africa campaign. Tom will be coaching sport and providing guidance in the awareness of AIDS/HIV. This is done in daily work shops to the children in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya and Jinja, Ughanda.
More details from Tom about his campaign and how you can support him:
Some of you may know me, I have played at Caldy through the junior section (under the brilliant guidance of Phil Wylie and Paul Close) and into the seniors playing many games for the 2nd's and 3rd's.
I am now studying Sport Science and Rugby Coaching at Glamorgan University in South Wales. I have been lucky enough to be chosen to go to Africa to help a charity called Act4Africa. I will be coaching sport and providing guidance in the awareness of AIDS/HIV. This is done in daily work shops to the children in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya and Jinja, Ughanda. I will be given training before i depart in the awareness of AIDS/HIV, and how to teach this to the children of Africa.
In order to go and work with Act4Africa I need to raise a minimum of £800 but I have set myself a target of £1500. In order to help me raise this money I have organised a sponsored cycle ride from Paton fields to Penygraig RUFC in South Wales a total of 165 miles. I am doing this with two friends from Wales who are members of Penygraig RUFC and the ride will take place over the weekend of 10th July.
I have already paid for my flights and from my own savings. Please sponsor me so I can make a difference in Africa!! I understand it is a hard time for all of us but as Tesco say "every little helps"!!
If you wish to sponsor me or just have a question please e.mail me on at tomjh107@hotmail.com or go to www.justgiving.com/tomjh and donate as much or as little as you like on a security secure website that accepts debit/credit cards. Alternatively you can send me a cheque payable to Act4Africa to 18 Belle Vue Terrace, Trefforest, Pontypridd, CF37 1TQ.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers
Tom
