What charities shall the ATA support?

Chris Ward, ATA chair, says: Hello The Ashburnham Triangle Association is a thriving community of about 3,500 people who live, work and socialise in the Triangle. The ATA is dedicated to connecting and informing our community, empowering and inspiring it to reap the collective benefits of living together irrespective of our differences. The ATA is a non-profit organisation: we raise money through social events which we put back into community initiatives and charities. In 2018/19 the ATA would like to have four selected charities to donate funds to. This is where you come in. We’d like to invite suggestions for two national charities, and two local charities (within or directly adjacent to the Triangle). Please email any and all suggestions to Chris Ward, Chair of the ATA at ward@live.co.uk with ATA charity suggestions in the subject line. We will take all feedback and views and announce which charities we’d like to support at our AGM. The AGM will be held at 7.30pm on 21st June a...

Marathon aftermath: how did it go?

Image
First half fun, second half hard, heat harsh, crowds great Nearly there: Tom in The Mall Tom Webb said: 'It was sort of fun. The first half was like a good day out seeing your mates and being at a carnival. The real business started at 16 miles when the pain kicked in. I did 3.00.09 which is a bit gutting as it’s so close to starting with a 2 but it was a pb and it was v hot. Anyway yeh it was a great event. Crowds amazing and almost packed end to end of the marathon route. I think I will be hobbling for a week!' Tina Pugh said: 'The heat was a real killer! I started off ok but my pace slowed by the halfway mark. By mile 14 I felt physically sick and didn’t think I would make it. But the support from the crowds was so amazing they really kept me going. The last two miles felt like a marathon in itself and never seemed to end. I didn’t do it in the time I wanted, but considering I was still recovering from a knee injury and ran the hottest ever London Marathon, co...
