The Fir Tree - £1050

On the recce the week before

Well the legs are well on the road to recovery and Tarzan, Jane and the Banana have already been out running again (Jane stupidly doing a recovery run at 10pm on Sunday night).

One of the noisiest parts of our epic journey was through the busy street of Reddish - a combination of a bear on a motorbike, Tarzan, Jane and the Banana and a plethora of volunteers following brought the centre of Reddish to a standstill - this called for a dual strategy of collectors on both sides of the road getting the cars as they stopped at the traffic lights - it worked a treat - with people shouting, car horns beeping we saw our next stop The Fir Tree and were greeted by the amazing Bananathon Cheerleaders.

Inside the the pub the place was hotting up as preparations for the two big football matches of the day got underway, we even found time to share a quick pint of lager !

A fantastic amount of money was raised over Friday and Saturday night (£1050) as the pub donated the door takings for both nights.

Lots of photo opportunities with Tarzan sprawled across the bar, one lucky punter positioned herself stage left to have a good gawp at his chimp-pants (was it Stotty in disguise?) , 10 minutes later we were on our way again....

Lets hear it for the The Fir Tree Reddish !!
