    Hi all

    Please see message below from JBMF

    We are the parents of James Brownhill, one of our sons, who died in a climbing accident on Mont Blanc, Frendo Spur, on 1st July 2011. He had graduated, as a physio, from Manchester Met Uni 2 days earlier. He was heavily involved in the Manchester Uni Climbing Club.

    We have Camping and climbing equipment worth over £2000, and £500 worth of other prizes, in the James Brownhill Memorial Fund (JBMF) Easter raffle! We have been generously supported by the BMC – See the BMC 1st link below.

    The JBMF was established in 2011 in memory of James, following his death climbing the Frendo Spur in July that year. James was an avid climber and mountaineer but Alpine and traditional climbing were his true passions. We established the JBMF to encourage and foster a higher level of safety, good practice and sustainability within university climbing clubs. See the BMC 2nd link below.
    JBMF Easter Raffle –

    Perfect for club trips, the JBMF have been generously donated a Vango Lumen V500 Airbeam tent, plus sleeping bags, airbeds and a ground sheet worth over £1200. Plenty of space for five people, and even better, no poles! Instead some clever technology means you simply pump your tent up in a few minutes!

    The climbing gear prizes are bundles of kit each worth over £300. One prize is an Edilrid via ferrata kit, and the other a 35m Sterling rope. PLUS, each prize includes: a training board, hand balm, Metolius chalk, chalk bags and bouldering bucket, an Evolv beanie, climbing pants and a belay plate.
    Other prizes include ladies & gents Berghaus jackets, a case of wine, £50 of supermarket vouchers, a lightweight junior goal & net, Joe Root signed cricket memorabilia and in case you get rained off in the Peak District, two cases of Thornbridge beer and brewery tour tickets are up for grabs too. (prize list attached).
    Don’t hang around as the draw takes place on 6 April with tickets (£1 each / £5 book of 5) available from the JBMF, from , Gbrownhill880570@aol.com.

    Kind Regards – Christine & Gary Brownhill

    Please do give generously – James was an ex-student of mine, a lovely lad who had a real adventurous spirit. If people want I can coordinate collecting money and passing it on.
