We are organising a United Fun Run on Saturday 7 th April 2012, in aid the two charities, SPOT (protection of Turles) and KUSKOR (protection of Birds / Wildlife). The proceeds will be shared between the two groups to help fund conservation work during 2012.



The location of the fun run will be starting off from Lambousa in Lapta, with a circuit of 5 km and then returning to the finishing point back at Lambousa.

All members of the community are welcome from young children to pensions, whether local or expat, don't be put off by the word RUN. If you want to walk the circuit or part of the circuit that will be allowed, if you want to wear fancy dress that too would be encouraged. The idea is as its name suggests a FUN event to help SPOT / KUSOR with much needed funding but at the same time to involve the younger generation and make them aware of the environment issues, we are faced with here in North Cyprus.



We are at this time looking at sponsorship from local people/ businesses.

Not sure I am fit enough to take part, but will certainly come and watch. Maybe I should get people to sponsor me to stand and watch. or even sponsor me to stay away. But whatever one doe,s I hope folk support this, especially as it isnot always easy to get money for turtles and birds. People like cuddly things like children, cats and dogs, but our flora and fauna are an essential part of who we are. See you there!

and of course, during that morning Tulips will be organising a lot of fun and games to raise money.

Thank you Marion for your support, the environment and many different animals and plants are under threat here in NC. Our biggest problem is bringing these environmental issues to the forefront, so that they can addressed properly. Unfortunately conservation issues are low down on the list of things to here. We can't just leave things be, we need to encourage the younger generation to become more aware of their environment and feel that they want to stand up and volunteer to help preserve the natural beauty we have here, before we are too late.

We want to be able to say that our grandchildren will be able to appreciate the beauty of these creatures and still have them here in years to come.

If you love all things natural, please, please come and support James, Anouska, and all the people involved from both SPOT and KUSKOR.

Good luck I hope this gets supported well, I'll sponsor James and Anouska for a couple of quid. What about an online sponsorship form where expats domiciled here and 'swallows' could make a pledge if they so wished?



Just a thought, is it feasible or are there rules and regs against such an idea?

Really good post, by someone who is obviously switched on! I am going to look into the idea of an online sponsor form. Can anyone enlighten me, moderators, as to if it is possible on the forum?



I bet your one them old school blokes who can hack it all alone and probably live in some far away village miles from anyone who speaks English and loves it!

Start time ammendment, Now 11am.

Thank you for your enquiry.

We have had a meeting today with SPOT / KUSKOR and also Tulips / Chateau Lambousa. As the Fun Run is taking place at the same time / location as Chateau Lambousa's Spring Fair, together with Tulip's, we have now decided to start the run at 11am.

Please remember that runners need to be at Chateau Lambousa about an hour before the start of the race.

We are hoping to start a stall at Chateau Lambousa in the next week or so, so that people interested can register for the race, pay their entrance fee and been given details of the event.

You can contact me on 0533 8630425 or via e mail on pgreen59@hotmail.com. Sponsor forms are now available and can be sent via e mail. We will also be arranging for sponsor forms to be available at certain points, so that interested parties can collect a form.

If you can pass the word on to all your friends, particularly those who enjoy a run, that would be great.

There will be 6 catogories in the Fun Run, each group will have its own winners / prizes / medals.

The children are divided into 3 groups:-

Under 8's

under 13's

14-18's

walker / joggers

runners

professional runners



The pro's won't be competing with the children. Children and adults can run or walk to their abilities, the course will be marshaled.



Pro's include registered running clubs, who compete regularly in similar events. So come along and enter the adults walker / jogger group and maybe you can win one of the prizes.

Good luck and don't worry!





If youn want to run then do so, or walk the course if you wany, its a Fun Run for everyone to enjoy and help KUSKOR / SPOT with much needed funding.

How many do you want in fancy dress? Didn't I read that somewhere? Come in Fancy Dress? If so, will there be prizes for the best one? I am happy to come dressed as a clown but I don't want to make a total idiot of myself unless there are other idiots too!



So tell me if I got it wrong, or whether we should be enccouraging people to put more emphasis on the fun! It is a holiday week-end, after all (well, for the Brits itt is_
