Dave & Steve Heylings Bikes on Kenya
In September 2010 this event will be held on Mount Kenya. Starting at 1,975m in the market town of Nanyuki Dave & Steve Heylings will begin their ascent of Mount Kenya, to 4,985m to Pt Lenana.
Kenya Wildlife Service are kindly supporting their trip, which will take four days to ascend and two days to return. We will cross the equator and cycle through eight vegetation bands in a national park home to monkeys, antelopes, elephants, buffalo hyenas, leopards and the occasional lion. If successful, we will be the first Britons ever to have cycled to the top.
In doing so, they will be raising money for the Karibuni Trust! Thank you!

FLUTE QUARTET "QUATTRO" RAISE £519 FOR KARIBUNI
Students from Aylesbury Music Centre performed a concert to raise funds for the Karibuni Trust on Saturday 6 March 2010 at Aylesbury Methodist Church. The talented young people aged from 14 to 18 performed a range of different music on flutes, oboes and bassoons. The Flute Choir (with 17 players) started and ended the concert with a lively selection of pieces including “The Flute of the Bumble Bee”. Flute players also played individually, in a trio and as “Quattro”. “Grenadilla” is a group of oboe and bassoon players who also performed as an oboe trio and a quartet of oboes and bassoons.
The concert was a great success and raised £519 for our funds. We were delighted to be entertained by the students and are grateful to the teachers at the Aylesbury Music Centre who organised the concert.
Quiz Night and Band Fund Raising in Partridge Green, West Sussex
On Saturday 17th October we held a Quiz Evening and live music in aid of the Karibuni Trust. 19 teams of 4 took part in the quiz - I am now under instruction to make the questions easier
for next year!.
The winners were The Codgers from Steyning.
The quiz was followed by an interval during which the raffle and a mini Auction of Promises
were held. Each team kindly donated a raffle prize. Items for the AoP were donated by family
and friends and an Afternoon Tea for two was generously donated by The South Lodge Hotel
[which was in the news in March this year for hosting the G20 Meeting] -; that could have
been a quiz question……..!!
After the interval 'The Alternate Thursdays' played their debut gig to an enthusiastic
audience. The band is comprised of a group of friends who play music together regularly for
pleasure but had yet to face an official audience- they were fantastic and I am hoping that
they may be kind enough to take part in another quiz evening for the Karibuni Trust next year.
The evening was fun, entertaining and sociable and we managed to raise a fantastic
£800.64. I really recommend it as a way of raising money for the Trust.
