'Ice work all-round
The annual BFBS Canada Hockey tournament went (almost) hitch free in December. Alongside raising approx. $1000 for the BFBS Big Salute, Melissa Davies was presented with her second Commanders Coin for everything she does in the community.
March saw the snow return, so the team headed to the BATUS community ski day to provide music and do a bit of the downhill stuff, it was a great community day which coincided with a visit from Brigadier Matt Cansdale.

Flag Day in Gibraltar
On Tuesday 27th February, Team BFBS were joined throughout the day by all the fantastic forces volunteers, with their collection pots at the ready in the streets of Gibraltar.
The day was full of fantastic conversations with the public in Gibraltar, all showing their support for our armed forces. They also managed to raise a fantastic £1700 for the BFBS Big Salute!

The Adrenalin Shock
In Catterick, Chris Kaye and Lauren Mitchell took part in “Adrenalin Shock” - a 10km obstacle race on the Aske Estate in Richmond. The race included water ditches, nets to scramble under, climbing walls, ‘the Sickener’ - where you have to carry a tyre up & down a hill before finishing off with a Krypton Factor assault course.
