Official Opening of Finigan Centre

On the 28th January 2009 Darren will be cutting the Ribbon to offically open the a new purpose-built low secure centre at the Finigan Centre Westbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset. The ceremony will take place at 14:40.

The Finigan Centre is part of the Dorset HealthCare NHS Foundation Trust and provides high quality care and treatment for people with severe learning disabilities and mental health issues.

Well the great news is that the Organisers of the Copenhagen World cup have agreed for us to make our attempt during their event. we go for it on Feb 14th at the end of play , so around 6.30pm.
After all the hard work by everyone involved it was a huge relief to finally have the go ahead. Now the fear of how painful it's going to be is starting to kick in !!
I'm hoping people will stay on to watch me, the power of an enthusiastic crowd should never be underestimated. It's so hard that I don't think that it's possible to do it without people there.
I have family in Copenhagen. I've not seen them for years so it will be great to catch up with them while I'm there.
Thanks to Gary, Louis, Chantale and everyone else involved.

Beijing No Go !

Well on Friday we eventually got a reply from Beijing about the hour record. Unfortunately they turned us down as too many different organisation over there would be involved.
We've now asked the Danish if we can do it at their round , in Copenhagen , next month. Hopefully they'll say yes , I've only been to Denmark once and it was only for an hour and a half !
Space and Solutions (www.spaceandsolutions.com) have stepped in as a backer for the attempt , so everything now seems to be in place , except for A place !
