Firefighters on Three Peaks Challenge
Steve Gwynn and Chris Nash
Firefighters Steve Gwynn and Chris Nash will attempt the Three
Peaks Challenge on 24th June.
They are both part time firefighters with West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service
based at Burgess Hill. They will be joined by four other members of the Burgess
Hill team and are supported logistically by the West Sussex Fire and Rescue
Service.
The Three Peaks Challenge is held every year and participants ar required
to climb the three highest mountains in the UK -- Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell
Pike in Englan and Snowdon in Wales. Doesn’t sound much for fit young guys,
but when you add this has to be completed in 24 hours including travel between
locations it becomes a dounting task. It is about 500 miles road distance
in total and then add the climb this is some challenge.
Steve and Chris are hoping to raise £1,500 for the charities Help for Heroes
and The Fire Services Charity.
Sponsorship forms and collecting boxes are available at the Airport or go
on line at:www.justgiving.com/Burgess-Hill-Firefighters or www.justgiving.com/station25firefighters
Operations Manager leaves for Gatwick
Keith Burridge
Operations Manager Keith Burridge has taken up a post with
Gatwick Operations.
Keith came to Shoreham about 3 years ago from the same department at Gatwick.
He said that he had enjoyed his position as Operations Manager at Shoreham
but it was now time for a change.
He says very little has changed at Gatwick since he left but the challenge
at Gatwick is obviously greater than Shoreham.
His last day at Shoreham was on the 7th May and Keith said he had made some
good friends at Shoreham and he will miss them all.
We wish him well in his new post.
