BEYOND CRANLEIGH WHOLE SCHOOL WALK TO BUILD A BAKERY PROJECT

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20th 2015 Join Cranleigh’s special walk for Kawama, our partnership community in Zambia, and help us to raise enough money to set up a bakery franchise. Kawama, a district of Kitwe, is the home of Kawama School, part of the Cranleigh family of schools. This social enterprise project, like last year’s Kawama Krafts, will help to provide jobs and skills training for local people when they leave education.

This 35 kilometre sponsored walk through the beautiful Surrey hills will mark the start of Cranleigh’s 150th anniversary celebrations and we’d like as many pupils, families and Old Cranleighans as possible to join us on the journey. Circular walk from School via Peaslake, St Martha’s and Chinthurst.

Staggered start times to accommodate all walking speeds.

• • • •

08:00 Slow walkers 09:00 Normal walkers 10:00 Fast walkers 13:00 Runners

Those with younger children or less able walkers will be able to join the route at a later stage. Please register for details.

A BBQ lunch is being provided on the full route.
