Hi all,

No sooner do I give the other a bump up the page, than one of my divers has to drop out of the shark dive giving us a spare slot!

So, with that in mind, are there any of you out there who would like to take part in a Shark Dive on Saturday 17th March?

To sign up, please visit our events website – http://www.kidscanevents.org.uk/shark-d ... hark-dives" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Or for more information, reply to this thread, send me a message or e-mail me – [email protected]

Thank you!

Why are we getting Chugged on here so much these days ???
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

In terms of people out with clipboards in the street?

Our charity doesn't do "chugging" as it's extremely expensive for charities to run.
It doesn't bring in a profit on their original investment for over a year since the initial clipboard people begin.

We prefer to give people the option of doing all kinds of events to raise vital funds for KidsCan rather than pestering them in the street for their bank details!

You're all members of the general public who are all welcome to do our events.
As a local charity, we like to make people aware of them in the hope they will take part.

Hi Everyone,

Rather than making a new thread, I thought I would locate the old one!
Hopefully you're all still keen to take part in a charity shark dive.
Just in case you've forgotten, it's in aid of KidsCan, the children's cancer research charity.

We've just booked in a new dive date - Saturday 7th December!

Believe it nor not, we're still offering this amazing challenge for FREE!
There is a sponsorship target, but we'll help you raise it however we can.

If you would like to sign up, please visit this link - http://tinyurl.com/KCSharkDives" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And as ever, if you have any questions, please ask away now!
Best wishes,

KidsCan

not really "FREE", then, is it? not if you have to raise £300 to take part.

Hi thebish,

It's free as you don't have to pay an entry fee.
You have to raise £350 in sponsorship, but we can help you there.

We provide personalised sponsorship materials and can give you ideas to boost your fundraising.

It's a great event so we hope you're keen to get involved.

Why don't all the regulars sponsor £10 and I'll go do the enjoyable once in a lifetime thing for free. Well I'll pay my own petrol.

:lmfao: , that nearly made me cry Bish. Where does the customer need to base as our kitchen builder will obviously need to advertise kitchens: ?
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

Hopefully Worthy4England has recovered from one challenge and fancies another one!

We've only got 3 places left for the Shark Dive on the 7th December!
Still time to sign up! Please click here - http://tinyurl.com/KidsCanSharkDives" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If the thought of sharks doesn't appeal, why not take part in our Zip Slide from the Imperial War Museum North, Salford Quays on 13th October?
From 30metres up, you'll zip over 250metres across the Manchester Ship Canal and finish in front of the Lowry Theatre!
Please sign up via this link! http://tinyurl.com/KidsCan-ZipSlide" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you're not a fan of sharks, or heights, I'm sure we can find something for you!
Thanks again,

KidsCan
