The SILVER 500
Premier Club
The SILVER 500 Club is a special distinction club for the walkers who have contributed a minimum of £500.00 for an annual walk. For those who by extra hard work, effort (and probably endless badgering) have managed to raise themselves into a special band of fund raisers.
The Premier Club - ‘Medals’ Table
The table below illustrates the numbers of Individual Walkers who have raised
the specified amount of sponsorship in the noted years.
The Premier Club Tables: The ‘Premier Clubs’ below all represent the value of sponsorship raised by an individual walker for the particular named year. A close inspection will show that many of our walkers appear in the premier league over a number of years, and special thanks must be given to them for their hard work and effort.

Get family and friends to write their sponsorship amount on the sponsorship form first.
They tend to be the most generous and it will also set the standard for everyone who sees the form after them
Don’t worry if you’re not in any of the ‘premier’ clubs on this page. If you’ve taken part in any of the walks and contributed anything, no matter how small, you deserve a pat on the back.
Some walkers may have large families, or a large group of friends who they can cajole into sponsoring them. Others may work in a large company where the opportunities to raise sponsorship is much easier than if working in a small organisation.
Some larger corporations will also ‘ fund-match’ the amount of sponsorship raised by an employee (very often up to £500.00), and this will naturally increase the value returned by the individual.
And there’s always the other reason... sometimes it’s just plain hard work to get money out of people! If you’ve contributed in any way you’re helping towards boosting the whole fund, and maybe you had an enjoyable day out walking with us also!
Tip : To increase sponsorship why not try out some of our Fundraising Tips to gain that extra edge in collecting sponsored funds. See link below
