Reviewing the page and noted the next post was the 1000th post..
So I thought would talk about the reason we do what we do……

Mick “Aky” Atkinson a larger than life character who would be the centre of the laughing in a room.
Loved by so many and loved so many from all walks of life and treated them all like a family member….
The one person who I never thought would do what he did, infact the one person I would lean on in hard times……
But he was facing a battle with his mental health that he kept to himself.
I remember the day too clearly coming out of the swimming pool with my kids to loads of missed calls.
I listen to one of the messages whilst tiring my kids shoe laces and my heart sinks..
I am sure we all remember that day and how it was broken to us…
About a week before I messaged Aky asking how he was and he said “too much to text pal” I replied ok let’s get a beer pal” (I still have those messages on my phone) maybe if we had that beer he would still be here, who knows………

So 8 years on and 1000post later he is still remembered and still loved.
Money has been raised in his memory, laughs and fun events completed even awards won abut would give it all up to have that chat and beer with him.
Please talk and it’s ok not to be ok.

So Tournoi de aky seemed to be a success and the junior bike ride all the kids were amazing even in the rain…..
We have tipped over £1k in donations which is great.
Next event 26th June police take on “The People’s Republic of Rothwell” TPROR

In a 18 team match play golf battle.

Shot gun start at 13:04
Pairs have been decided and some tasty matches
Bacon rolls on arrival then food/ drinks and maybe an odd game to finish.

Longest drive is the 18th
Nearest the pin on 12th

£2.50 in for each £5 for both and you take half the pot.. (charity gets the rest.)

🤞🤞 for decent weather and looking forward to battling it out with Les (mind he may have a full new team to swap at half time made up of ringers😂😂😂)

Today 19 kids aged from 3-14 took part in the JUNIOR TOUR DE AKY. The rain didn’t even stop them and all completed their personal challenge. For me if that isn’t worth a donation well………

They are on route to start this years junior Tour de AKY. Fingers cross they get some sun to dry up the wet roads and for the rain to stay off for a while so they can enjoy their ice cream. 🐾🚴‍♂️

Tomorrow is the Junior bike ride which is the first of 2 rides this year.
The main ride taking place on 18th July and I have just taken possession of the shirts (think my favorite of all)
The shirts and the ride wouldn’t take place without the generosity of our 3 sponsors
REIGL UK
CB YACHT GUARDIANAGE who both sponsored us last year and
IRWIN MITCHELL SOLICITORS.

I am truly grateful for all the support. The tops look amazing and will be sorting through them over the weekend.

Shall we try and get a team together for this????
