Alan and John made the collection from Macclesfield and Chesterfield on Monday returning with a van filled with good aid including wheelchairs and new clothing. On Tuesday, joined by Tony Hudson, Chris and Alan Judd we completed the loading of the 7.5 tonner thus the three vehicles are ready for the off on Friday March 5th. Chris and Alan continued packing throughout the day and already we have aid prepared for a later convoy. It is now the final preparation of the vehicles, tyres,brakes, etc and the copius documentation in the final days.
As reported in an earlier entry 
the Rotarians are sponsoring the convoy and have planned a send off next Friday when the local press will cover the convoy departure. We plan to have the technology with us to allow updates here during our time on route and in Belarus.
During Friday we made a collection from Linpac at Featherstone and it was good to see Rose Edwards again. Rose has been to Belarus twice, once on convoy and has organised many aid collections and fund raisers with her colleagues at Linpac.
On Friday night several of the aid team enjoyed a splendid evening at a fund raiser for the local Monk Fryston group when over seventy supporters ate a chinese banquet at the local restaurant. The funds raised are to support the summer holidays for the Belarusian children.
