Im led to believe that when we play wakie away at the back end of july a group of wakie fans are doing a walk from the jungle to belle vue in aid of the watene fund, can we not get in on this as i dont beleive we have done much in aid of this good cause????

Plus how many of us would do it???

I wonder what time the walk would have to set off? If I could get up north in time for the start I'd be happy to take part.

yes there will be no problem in you joining, the more the merrier

Can you post some details on here? What time setting off is the key one for me...

we set off from huddersfield at 9-20 when we was organized photo shoot and all that, and walked to horbury around 1 ish for our second pit stop and something to eat, with 3 mile then to go, round trip of 16.5 miles made it around 2-40 ish

acko and big Al will have more of an idea,
theres no stopping you joining us enroute if your an hour or so behind us

Hmmm.. I can't imagine me raising much in this RL wasteland, especially if I said I was doing 'a bit of a sponsored walk'.



I can't be the only Cas fan considering it though... can I? CAN I?

I will sponsor you old boy.

How much?

Not about the walk but ties in with the Topic about Adam.

Here's a message i got from Ex-Cas legend Adrian Vowles earlier today:

The Trades and Labour Hire Burleigh Bears and Wynnum Manly, will on Saturday be playing for the Adam Watene Memorial Trophy, donated kindly by the Burleigh Leagues Club. Adam Watene (Cook) played for both clubs and was a very popular figure particularly at the Bears. Adam played 24 games for the Gold Coast Vikings, 22 games for Wynnum Manly and 83 games for the Burleigh Bears in his QLD Cup career. Adam played in the Burleigh Bears 2004 QLD Cup Grand Final victory against East’s Tigers before moving to the UK to play with Castleford, Bradford and his last club Wakefield Trinity. Adam was a cult hero at Castleford and Wakefield due to his massive frame and bullock like runs.

Adam passed away suddenly last year over in the UK, at the age of 31 leaving behind his wife Moana and two children Arana and Ena. Adam still has many friends and relatives on the Gold Coast and many of them will be present at the game on Saturday along with Moana and the kids to present the trophy to the winning team

It is only fitting that both clubs play for the trophy in Adam's name and also know that his legacy will live on for many years to come.

Yes of course you can, Adam played at Cas and anyone who wishes to take part will be welcome, just for once club rivalry will be put out the door.


I'll get back to you later today with details, start time and route, you will know about it soon has the Mayor is walking with us.

A fiver if you walk on your own a tenner if you walk with me and let me talk you into a headache

Tenner it is then...

If you cannot get up here in time for the walk, just let me know who you would like me to give the money to. If its Pyeman he gets a migrain not a headache

Great response

I will definatly be there, would be kinda wrong i guess if i wasnt seen as though i started this thread



And also would be great for us all to get along for once

I think every Cas fan who reads this should either join in the walk or sponsor me.





[size=75And you've read it now... do the decent thing![/size

I'l sponser ya disco if u sponser me

hows that for a deal

Oh .. talked myself into that one, didn't I?


Fiver?

Sorted, seen as tho your a sport i'l even supply you with a can of POP of your choice

What date is this on? Might walk this one too with you lot. Might be organizing a trip to the semi finals though with te rest of the Giants fans


For anyone who's thinking of doing the walk though, go for it! A great set of people I walked with last weekend.

I applaued your optimism Ponner but we'll see huh



Errr i think its on the 26th of July, and yh come along, the more supporters of different clubs we ca get to come along the better, imagine if we could organise a walk and get at least 1 fan of every Super League club to take part, now that would be a big and touching tribute to the big man

We hope to have a few players for this walk, past and present plus fans from other clubs, like you say one shirt from each club would be ideal for a photo shoot.

All the Wakey players walked to Cas ( the ones who did not play)last year alongside Adam for the Sky Marie fund, so i would imagine it may be a knock effect from that.
