“It was wondeful to atend my fisrt 30/30 breakfast. It is a great way to make new friends and be part of something which truly does make a difference in the Bailiwick. It was extra special to see His Exellency lend his support. I look forward to getting involved with the fundraising and hopefully upping my fitness levels. Thank you all for supporting the 30/30 and for helping make the breakfast a special occasion. Thank you Ian, Trish and Jenny and the team at The Kiln.”
FIRST DAY BREAKFAST
WOW
It was great to see so many of the riders at the First day Breakfast at The Kiln. The 30/30 Riders loved the breakfast served by Jenny Meeks and her team and this is always a great start to the challenge.
We were delighted to be joined at breakfast by Jurat Stephen Jones OBE, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Les Bourgs Hospice.
It was also an honour and privilege to welcome the Patron Les Bourgs Hospice H.E. Governor Lieutenant General Richard Cripwell to The Kiln. H.E. wished the riders good luck during their challenge.
Jenny, once again, is not charging for the breakfasts which is extremely kind and means the costs will remain in this year’s 30/30 Fundraising.
