Active Alnwick would like to congratulate the Sports Development and Leisure Staff at Willowburn Leisure Centre, Alnwick, on raising £170 for Children in Need.

Visitors to the Willowburn Leisure Centre, Alnwick were encouraged to offer donations whilst watching members of staff complete 3 major sporting challenges, using gym equipment.  These challenges were to;

 

  • To row the equivalent of the English Channel
  • To cycle the equivalent of Alnwick to Hexham 
  • And finally to climb the eqivalent of the ‘three peaks’ of Ben Nevis, Scarfell & Snowdon

For this achievement, the team deservedly received a shout on BBC Radio 2 and an acknowledgement on the BBC 1 live broadcast on the day.

In association with

Northumberland Sport
