following a road traffic collision two years ago. She said:<br />

“This will be a personal challenge for me and is a perfect<br />

opportunity to raise valuable funds for the Air Ambulance.<br />

It w<strong>as</strong> an e<strong>as</strong>y choice for me and I’m ple<strong>as</strong>ed to say that<br />

with many thanks to them I have made a fant<strong>as</strong>tic<br />

recovery.” All Air Ambulance entrants will be given an<br />

opportunity to visit the helicopter b<strong>as</strong>e and meet the pilot,<br />

doctor and paramedic, subject to emergency call-outs.<br />

They will also receive a fundraising pack including sponsor<br />

forms, support and advice from the charity’s fundraising<br />

team, a training guide and an Air Ambulance running vest.<br />

Community Fundraiser Amy Salter said: “L<strong>as</strong>t year we had<br />

47 runners and we would love to double that in 2013. Our<br />

plans for night flying will give this year’s entrants a<br />

fant<strong>as</strong>tic fundraising goal to work towards.” Anyone<br />

Did you get a new camera for Christm<strong>as</strong> or do you<br />

have one tucked away? Then it is time to put it through<br />

its paces from the banks of the Wey & Arun Canal. A<br />

photo competition with the theme of “Life on the Wey<br />

& Arun Canal” is organised by the Wey & Arun Canal<br />

Trust (WACT) and winners will not only be in line for a<br />

prize but also get to see their work printed in the 2014<br />

calendar. The competition is free to enter and the<br />

theme w<strong>as</strong> selected in a bid to inspire people to<br />

explore the people, places, flora and fauna that make<br />

up the canal environment, and also to share images<br />

that have been taken throughout the year. The Trust<br />

hopes to use the best images to reflect the different<br />

se<strong>as</strong>ons in the 2014 calendar, which will be sold to help<br />

raise funds for the continuing restoration work on the<br />

canal. The deadline for entries to the photographic<br />

competition, which can be submitted <strong>as</strong> prints, on a CD<br />

or DVD or by email, is 28th February 2013 and winners<br />

will be announced this spring. Full details of the rules<br />

and submission criteria can be found at<br />
