The Atlantic Vets organise a black tie extravaganza in aid of FARM-Africa
This Halloween Jim Houlton and Paul Milnthorpe, the “Atlantic Vets” are preparing a dazzling charity masquerade ball to kick start the fundraising for their amazing row across the Atlantic this autumn.
The Atlantic Vets are taking part in the 2009 Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race which starts in the Canary Islands and ends in Antigua, 2935 miles away, taking on average between 50 and 70 days.
Their huge physical challenge will begin in December this year with their attempt to break the doubles record (or at very least beat Cracknell and Fogle's time). In the process they hope to raise £15,000 for FARM-Africa.
The masquerade ball will take place on the 31st of October at Soughton Hall, North Chester and will be a black tie extravaganza with a gourmet food, dancing, and a live band. If this were not enough the ball will also include a champagne reception and a raffle.
The money raised through this event and the challenge itself will help support FARM-Africa’s work to transform of the lives of farmers in eastern Africa through grassroots projects helping farmers to grow more food; keep their livestock healthy and manage their natural resources sustainably.
