Ordinary People doing Amazing Things


 



Whatever happened to simple cheque presentations ? 

 

 

Shirley Lions recently found out to their cost that these days you can't simply turn up, hand over a cheque and pose for a simple still life photo.

Following last year's successful Blythe Valley Park Fun Run it was agreed to split the net amount raised between two very deserving local charities with 50% going to the Marie Curie Big Build in Solihull and 50% to SoLO ( Solihull Life Opportunities ). On arriving at the Park, Sarah Wakeman from Marie Curie and Lion Ken Barker found that the press photographer wanted an action photo of the two of them running, both showing the number 1828 which was the amount handed over. Luckily Kate Smith from BVP Management Company only had her stilettos with her so was excused the running about. Lion Ken was heard to say that he was exhausted after the photoshoot as it took at least ten to twelve shots before the photographer was happy with his photo which of course meant he and Sarah had to do the run for the photo that many times !
