We have Mail

Hi John.

I thought I would let you know about a climb that I am doing in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. We have so far managed to raise just over £3500, with a lot of donations and sponsors coming from the locksmith community. This has been through sales of locks and tools between locksmiths, with the proceeds going to the fund.

We have also raised money through our monthly locksmith meetings that we hold each month at our training workshops. The meetings are for locksmiths to meet and exchange ideas and techniques, normally with some useful demos thrown in.
