Copied over from the Commando Gunner Regroup website by Randy:
"Brian (Spider) Webster will be completing a yomp across Dartmoor (roughly 30 miles)over the August bank holiday weekend . The route will be from Okehampton to Plymouth with a night in Princetown, he intends to finish on the Sunday afternoon at the Fisherman's arms (where else?)
He is doing this yomp to assist raising funds for a proposed memorial to be placed outside of the Royal Citadel in honour of all who have fallen on active service since we became a Commando Regiment. If you wish to support or donate to his effort please contact me on the usual email address. I will be putting a donation sheet on the web site shortly so you can either pledge by cheque or on pay pal. Spider is also looking for volunteers to join him. If you think you'd like to spend a bank holiday weekend yomping 30 miles across Dartmoor let me know & I'll pass your details on. Currently I am his only back up support so if you can offer assistance in this area it would also be appreciated. Spider will be carrying the names of all who donate with him, so you'll be with him in spirit if not in body. "
"Up to now we've raised around £250. The target we are hoping to reach is £1000. All donations big or small will be greatly appreciated.
**We have just received a huge offer of a donation to the tune of £250 from one ex member! If you want to donate, no matter how large or small let me know & I'll forward the pay pal details to you so you can make an instant pledge"**
