Local Canoeing Champion!

THOMAS Walker aged 14 of Penymynydd has become the British Junior Canoe Slalom Champion.

He topped the rankings in the J15 K1 men's canoe slalom event at the British Junior Championships in Llandysul, West Wales.

The Castell Alun High School pupil – a member of Mold Canoe Club – is in his second full season in this Olympic discipline, and having already worked his way up the divisions and just been promoted to Division One has his sights set on the Premiership. Tom who is now part of the Welsh Cadet Squad now spends most weekends training with the welsh squad or racing across the country with regular training camps at the new Cardiff International White Water centre or Nottinghams Holme Pierre point.


Tom started canoeing two years ago in Div 4 and progressed to div 2 in his first full season, Tom has recently been promoted to Div 1 after 5 races in Div 2. He is a member of the Welsh squad and is currently in the J15 cadets. Tom trains on the water at least twice a week along with other general fitness work. As part of the welsh squad Tom is reguarly training on white water sites across the country such as Holme pierre point (Nottingham) Cardiff international whitewater centre (Cardiff) and the National white water centre at Bala.

Tom hopes to progress to the premiership division within the next two seasons, and to represent Wales in the near future.The ultimate goal for Tom is to represent GB and to this end the hard work begins now.. He is now looking for sponsors to help with equipment and training to help him realise these goals.

Dear Sir / Madam

We are a small group of friends who, over the years, have raised many thousands of pounds for charity. Our 2009 appeal raised a magnificent £10,000 for The Stroke Association.

For 2010 we have chosen to support Wales Air Ambulance. Wales Air Ambulance is an all Wales charity providing a vital service through emergency air cover for those who face life-threatening illness or injuries.

With each mission on average costing £1200 the charity needs to raise over £5 million per year. Our energetic programme includes:

The Coast to Coast Hike (Second half approx 95 miles; ( having completed the first half in 2009)

20 mile walk Moel Famau to Penyffordd

16 miles Llanferres to Penyffordd

8 miles Treuddyn to Penyffordd

Yorkshire three peaks (26 miles)

30 mile cycle ride

130 mile cycle ride ( two days)

150 mile cycle ride (one day)

We need your help!

Any donation however large or small, ( by way of sponsorship or raffle prizes ), will be greatly appreciated.

This year we're aiming to hold a raffle/auction for prizes “money can't buy” and wondered if you'd be kind enough to donate an authenticated or autographed personal item such as clothing, book, photo, CD, DVD etc.

Thank-you for taking the time to read this letter.

Yours faithfully

Chris Jones ( on behalf of N.W.C.R. )
