How it was born

I have always been interested in world war one indeed I studied it as a young girl and visited  the war graves and battlefields many times over the years. Three years ago myself and 2 friends walked the old British front line of 1st July 1916, we got sponsors and raised about £2,000 for the British Legion Poppy Appeal. This year I joined ABF The Soldiers Charity after working for another charity for 3 years. When I saw just how hard people work for ABF I put my thinking cap on and set about wondering how I could raise a lot of money for this worthwhile charity.
I run the ABF Penzance office and have a small fundraising committee who meet once a month and have brainstorming sessions(tea and biscuits) after we had done the usual run of supermarket days and coffee mornings I remembered the walk I had done 3 years ago. I discussed the possiblity of doing it again but on a slightly larger scale. Little did I realise just how many ladies would want to be a "Wench in a Trench"
