Carl Riley's R.N.L.I. Fundraising
 
I will be running the London Marathon on the 17th April to raise funds for the R.N.L.I which is Funded by charitable donations, the lifeboat crews and lifeguards of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution have saved over 139000 lives at sea since 1824 and rely totally on voluntary contributions to fund their service.
 
By using Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed direct to the R.N.L.I. Donations however large or small are greatly appreciated and as this is my first full Marathon ( 26 Miles) i need all the incentive to make it over the finish line (-:
 
To add a little fun, when you donate please guess my finish time to the closest second and write you answer in the "message box" The winner closest to my time will recieve a bottle of champagne.
 
Thankyou In Advance.

Congratulations to Carl Riley, for completing his first full marathon. He was placed 14000 out of 36000 with a time of 4.21, he said “it was a wonderful day, crowd were amazing, although it was a little warm”.

East Anglian Air Ambulance

The East Anglian Air Ambulance now runs two fully medically equipped helicopters (codenamed Anglia One and Anglia Two) Serving the people of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Between the two helicopters they are able to provide a life-saving resource reaching patients quickly and if required, transporting them to hospital within minutes. On-going public support is essential to enable us to continue offering this vital service and we are very grateful for your kind donation.

Caithness Crystal has raised £322.25 for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

Norfolk Safer Community Awards (NOSCAs) 2010

The NOSCAs awards were held at Dunston hall on 17 June 2010, Caithness Crystal King's Lynn Ltd were one of the proud sponsors of the event.

Awards were produced at our King's Lynn Crystal Glass Studio and pictured on the right.

It was a fantastic evening and would not have been possible without the invaluable support of local businesses.

Litcham Boys Under 14 Football Team

We at Caithness Crystal Visitor Centre are proud to be the sponsors of theLitcham boys under 14 football strip.

With our very own design, sporting the Caithness Crystal Visitor Centre colours, I think you will agree they all look very smart.

The very first day in the new kit it poured with rain, this picture does not do it justice to how cold, wet and windy it really was, for the first outing in November 2009.

The boys played very well and were a credit to themselves and fair play.

The Caithness Crystal Visitor Centre trophy is for the most improved player in a season. This handmade crystal piece is on display with Mike Fuller at the Litcham Butchers.
