• To seek out money in the name of Cancer Research.

Time And location: 1900hrs Down Grange, Basingstoke, England.

Principle Objective: Take the squad around a 5k Fun Run, avoiding obstacles of 1000 other men, all running at different speeds and being all shapes and sizes.

The Action:
The gun was fired, both Dr – Chris and 10-pin Rob took up scout positions. Captain - Mark, Water Expert – Jon and Mission Organiser – Rob took up the main pack-attack with Chairman – Dave in the Rear Guard Position.

The squad took on the course with no regard to their future Aching legs, thighs and Blistering Feet.
(This truly was a tale of courage considering the size of a badminton court.)

The mission was successful with a good sum of money raised to men’s Cancer (testicle & prostate.)
With a special mention to Chris the Father in law of Mission Organiser – Rob.

Conclusion: A good evening was had by all.
