By Events on
Fresh from walking 23 miles back to Tidworth garrison on Friday (and going via Stonehenge) the team from RBL Tidworth FC finished off their efforts in style on Saturday by hosting a whole day of fundraising for families, with childrens activities in the afternoon and adults in the evening. From raffle tickets, to a silent auction, no stone was left unturned by the team, ably led by WO2 Jay Clibery and an astonishing £5k plus has been raised, with money still coming in. The team were graciously hosted by the local Royal British Legion and this is a truly heartwarming story of the Armed Forces family coming together as one to support their own. https://www.walkinghomeforchristmas.com/teams/rbl-tidworth-fc-2
