One of the many highlights of our walk for Finleys Touch 💚 yesterday was the Bristol Area IC indulging me in recreating my grandfather's (back right) photo at Portbury HAA site from October 1939. We're almost at £2K... justgiving.com/page/bristolar… WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk Al Murray 🇺🇦

Absolutely delighted to see that the Bristol Area IC's sponsorship has reached £2,023. Thank you so much for your support. There's still time to donate if you can.

We will have a final figure later in the week, but combined Finleys Touch 💚 fundraising from WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk Fest attendees, via #IC Marches, Hawaiian Shirt Competition, #kitoff44, Chuck a Chook, auctioned items, raffle is north of £54,000. Your effort & generosity is staggering.

Makes the 14 mile route march from Castle Park, Bristol to the Portishead Battery last Sunday seem even more worthwhile (>£2k raised). Great effort by the #BristolIC. A few of us are in the group shot …. Nick Grubb Oliver Davey Dave Willcock +++
