Tamarisk Morris ran the London Marathon 2009 for SCCWID !
A word from Tamarisk ...
I HAVE DONE IT!!!!
WOWOWO the most incredible experience I will never ever forget!
Completed in 5.17, rather a lot longer than I hoped but never the less I completed it! My hips were the real hold back and the pain was pretty bad.
Going over Tower Bridge was AMAZING, the crowds! Infact the crowds throughout the course were amazing. Shouting your name out all along thr route!
And the final 385 yards, what a last part to run, suddenly you get this overwhelming urge and I was overwhelmed with emotion. Going through.. I really can't put it into words.. magical and something I really will not forget! Tears of joy/ exhaustion/pain and many other things.

For One Night Only - Jazz Evening at Durham University - February 2006
Welcome
to For One Night Only ...
We are delighted that For One Night Only is kindly supporting SCCWID. We know that the committee have put a lot of effort into making tonight really special and we would like to thank them all for it. We want you to enjoy the evening and we would like to thank you for your generosity. Every little penny counts towards our pledged project.
We are currently raising funds for The New Children's Hospital at The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, which opens in January 2007. This hospital will be a state of the art children's hospital, which will support a huge catchment area and be a centre of excellence. We have pledged to raise £250,000 by the end of this year. We have so fair faised £150,000 for this project so have the challend of raising £100,000 in the next 12 months. Your support tonight will be such a help towards achieving the goal.
Thank you for all your efforts in raising money and have a fantastic evening.
With best wishes

Giants of Jazz Perform at Stowe - 2002
The
And all that Jazz charity event, organised at Stowe by fifteen
Sixth Form students 'went perfectly' according to the two chairmen, Alex
Perry and Christian Roe. The enterprise began last February, and gradually
increased in size and endeavour until the 21st September, when over 200
guests came to the State Rooms of the school to experience the results
of the huge amount of effort and time that had been put in. The Marble
Hall and two side rooms had been transformed into 1940's Jazz Clubs, with
effective lighting, drapes and decorations, where George Melly (Cobham
44) and Humphrey Lyttelton played with their bands to a welcoming audience.
The evening ran superbly, evident by the quality of the catering, the entertainment and the overall response, all of this being quietly overseen by John Moule, Housemaster of Walpole.
With a charity auction and raffle, an astounding sum was raised, in excess of £20,000. The sum will be divided between two charities cloesly identified with the School; SCCWID, a fund raiser founded by Sophie Watson, an Old Stoic who died of cancer in 2000, devoted to raising money for children's wards, and the Stowe School Foundation. With two such causes, the Stowe Jazz Committee felt that all the effort had been more than worthwhile. The guests thought the same.
