Saturday, 26th September was a very busy day for Julie Newsam of Skeffling.
As well as cooking some of the low calorie puddings for the Martin Jackson Concert that night, she helped prepare Skeffling Village Hall for the social evening, then took entrance money and started selling raffle tickets!
You'd have thought by then she'd be ready for a long sit down with a glass or three of wine to enjoy listening to Martin Jackson.
Not on your life!
At 10.30pm Julie, daughter Vicky, and a lot of friends left the Village Hall to take part in the Marie Curie Cancer walk over the Humber Bridge which began at midnight!
Dressed as Doctors and Nurses (we won't go into that) they left the Village Hall to resounding applause and set off for Hull.
The Humber Bridge is 3.3 miles long, and when they got to the other side they had to walk all the way back again!
I was assured, VERY firmly, by one of the ladies, that they were doing the walk SOBER!
Congratulations, ladies, you did a wonderful job for a very worthwhile charity. Once all the sponsorship money is in, I'll let you know how much they raised.
A full update will be in the October issue of Skeffling News.

Well done to Julie, Vicky and friends. This is why I'am proud to live in Skeffling knowing that there are people who will do their bit to raise money for this excellent charity.
Well done team - especially to leave a lovely social evening with good food, entertainment and booze to walk across a windy, cold bridge. Hope people were generous and it all proved to be worth it!
