    Is anyone travelling up from Sheppey/Kent area to this, I really want to get involved but I've been told not to drive until next month. I've looked at the trains and it's 3 changes and rail replacement as well :(

    A great day with Team Charlton at the Glades fundraising for Prostate cancer, special thanks to Henry for the parking permit. To @Tracey and Bob Bolder and all the Lifers I met today. As usual Bailey proved quite popular with all ages with requests for photos and cuddles.

    Footfall definitely went down after you left, although balancing buckets on heads seem to get people interested again.

    just over £750 raised I think, well done all.

    @TCE Thank you and Bailey so much for helping today. Bailey drew in the crowds and without him we would of not raised so much money.

    Wow.....That's a fantastic amount, well done everyone. We met people outside who had met you all and they came over just to say goodbye. I got told half a story by a security man about a phone call to say Bailey was on the premises. Anyone hear about this?

    Little bump if anyone's feeling generous.

    @Tracey has miraculously got the one and only John Robinson to take part coming all the way over from the states for it, i'm hoping he shouts at me a little less than he did the poor old linesman :smiley: . Be good if we could get his fundraising moving for him......

    This is coming around a bit too fast - I need to up my training!

    Still plenty of time for people to donate though :-)

    Are you in Bromley this weekend?
    @Henry Irving for allowing me to park at Irving Mansions.
    We should arrive 09.30/10.00.......

    Possibly, by the way, the car park I previously mentioned is now open 24 hours and no height restriction.

    A great day out fundraising with TeamCharlton yesterday lots of laughs and some sad stories told to me by members of public. Highlight on the laughs side was a nameless lifer asking if he looked ridiculous as his were protruding from the bottom of the chicken outfit he was wearing! And who has ever heard of a chicken called "Robin" 
    Sadly I was told by a lady her husband had passed away last month from prostate cancer. He had not told her he was passing blood and never went to his GPs until sadly it was too late, the cancer had moved on to his liver. Her message was "go get checked out guys" 
    Another lady who with her husband told me he had to have further tests and an examination told me, the examination  may see a little invasive or embarrassing but the possible outcome is far worse. Too which he replied, "I don't know the examination wasn't that bad" the lady went very red and laughingly called him a dirty b*st*rd.

    Always worth remembering that if you have a high PSA reading you now have the right to undergo an MRI scan to determine whether you have prostate cancer, or just an enlarged prostate. This is of course far less invasive and uncomfortable than having a biopsy. You can insist on it.

    One of mine? 
    Are you sure It wasn't Mrs Redmidland? I believe he may have an Anchaz dog from her.
    edit:
    if it was one of mine, can you link the podcast please. We'd love to hear what he has to say. 😀

    Does anyone know the start time? I believe I've read it maybe as early as 07.00 if that's the case I need to be staying in London area the night before. Does anyone else do this?

    Myself and @_nam11 will be staying somewhere in Stratford the evening before. I can't remember the exact start time but it is early that you need to be there.

    I stayed at the Holiday Inn near the stadium in the shopping centre. Incredibly comfortable beds. Cycling to the stadium with a suitcase was interesting though.

    Hotel sorted, thanks @LouisMend. Cheaper for me to park at Ebbsfleet and train it straight to Stratford walk across the road to the hotel and back again in the morning! Just got to get my dogs past the receptionist. 😂🚴🐕
