Winners of the 2009 Chestnut Cup, Becton Dickinson and runners-up, Wolferstons, produced a thrilling final.  Well done to all those who made the day a great success with special thanks to the students of Marjon and Plymouth University for their excellent organisation.

The weather could not have been better for the third annual Chestnut Appeal sponsored walk. The sun shone throughout and there was a cooling breeze to help the 100 walkers of all ages as they strolled around the beautiful Burrator Reservoir. 

Mrs Sally Farbrother and her son rode the Camel Trail from Wadebridge to Padstow to help raise much needed funds and awareness for the Chestnut Appeal on Sunday,
June 7th 2009.

Skate for Life came together on Saturday 2nd of May, and raised in excess of £3,000 for the Chestnut Appeal.  The ex Rollarena crew & Plymouth Roller Hockey Club raised money in the very best way they could - by skating, and inviting as many people as possible to take part.

After a false start when the weather closed in on Perranporth Airfield – Saturday 29th August saw the first of our sponsored sky divers take to the air.  Barbara Hambly was first up, and down, freefalling from 10,000 feet before her tandem skydiver Paul opened the parachute for a thrilling 6 minute drop. Alison, Kerry and Jayde all followed and all wanted to go straight back up again. Well done to all the sky divers and good luck to those still yet to jump.

Roger and Jean Aldersley, and their 50 year old Austin, continue their sponsored trip from Plymouth to Interlaken. Collecting money along the way for the Chestnut Appeal and for Sahodar in Nepal.

The 2nd Annual Sponsored Walk was well supported. The weather, for once, was on our side, and we enjoyed the almost 4 miles walk around Burrator Reservoir, in perfect walking conditions.
