ECatsBridge Changes ! Happy Days !

Just so you know - we (that's Anna & Mark) got married on 20th March 2024 - the sun shone on us here in Orkney and we had a truly wonderful day.

ECatsBridge Charity Challenge

We are delighted to be running this event once more, for the Charities Mind, that wonderful charity supporting people with mental health problems, and Macmillan Cancer Support ... the work they do is just amazing. Please help us raise lots of lovely funds for them. Details of the event are here

The January Charity Pairs for UNICEF

So - January brings our charity pairs to raise funds for UNICEF. It started on 22nd January and ran through the week, with the Thursday and Friday being combined. I will post the final amount raised here as soon as I can

Children in Need 2023

So many of you joined in and made this a resounding success and we can't thank you enough for your support and generosity - not forgetting the heat organisers, the dealers and everyone who made it happen. The grand total for 2023 is £68,938.15 ! How wonderful is that !

As you will see the results are now final and the files have been sent off to your Home Unions for them to allocate the master points - don't be impatient please - there's a lot involved, and they may not appear on your record for a while. But you can see from the file on the website how many you have been awarded - the file for each day is called Final Results and lists the points - just go to this page and you will see it for each day

Again - thank you all - you are truly amazing !
