Caledonian 100 report in paper
A big thank you to the 15 volunteers who helped with event registration & course marshaling for the Caledonian 100 (www.caledonian100.com) on the first weekend in October.
It was a great effort by the team of volunteers, who braved some bracing weather & an early morning start on the Saturday to raise approximately £1,500. The event participants really appreciated the support & encouragement of our volunteer team.
Around 100 people, in teams of 4, walked 100km across the Cairngorms, starting in Aviemore at 8am on Sat morning and finishing in Braemar on Sunday lunchtime. There are some great photos of the event, which can be viewed at www.flickr.com/photos/caledonian100.
If you missed your chance to volunteer this year, don’t fret – the event is happening again on the last weekend in September 2011 & we hope to be involved.

ASC: Charity Golf Tournament, Tuesday 21st September 2010 Spey Valley Championship Course
18th October 2010
Group who took part in ASC Golf Event
ASC’s first fundraising event was a Big Hit.
A golf tournament was held on Tuesday 21st September 2010 on the spectacular Spey Valley Championship Golf Course, which has been recently voted one of the best in Scotland by Top 100 Golf Courses in the World.
Seventy-nine golfers booked to play and amazingly 79 golfers hit Spey Valley’s fairways and more amazingly the weather was in suppot too with the day of the competition being the only dry day in nearly two weeks.
The event raised over £1100 pounds; £790 was raised directly from the £10 donation and £200 was raised from the “Bunker Fines” imposed by our Financial Director and the remainder will be collected from Gift-Aid. These funds mean that ASC can move forward with plans to buy branded merchandise for sale through our website to assist us with further fundraising efforts.
