Sam Seddon & the E.U.Rinals run the Richmond Castle 10K
10 years ago the good looking bunch of "fit" people in the picture were on yet another hockey tour in the delightful surroundings of Blackpool. A week later one of them fell victim to meningitis.
This October we will be getting together again to recreate some of the atmosphere of the hockey tour i.e. meeting for a beer festival, waking up with a hangover and wobbling around a bit on the pretense of enjoying exercise. Swap a hockey pitch for 10k of rolling North Yorkshire Hills and you have the picture. Oh and if you know any of us the "fit" pretense can definitely be lost. The exercise bit will most definitely not be fun!!

Miriam O'Callaghan supports Mobile Phone Recycling scheme in Ireland
MRF has partnered with BPI Telecom to launch a nationwide mobile phone recycling campaign in Ireland. As part of this initiative, all schools in ROI will be encouraged to get involved in phone recycling. For every 100 mobile phones collected as part of the scheme, the school will benefit from either a free laptop, sport equipment or with books to build its library.
For more information about this campaign please call our Local Recycling Hotline on 1890 252 874 or email info@bpi.ie
