Brave Abseiling
After six friends and members had a very successful day of abseiling last year, four friends and members of the Breathe Easy group decided to take on the challenge this year.
Martyn, Joe, Barbara M., and Barbara W. (pictured on the right) abseiled and managed to raise a fabulous £600 for the group in return for their bravery. Well done to the four of you and a big thank you to everyone for their support.
Pride of Lee Boat Trip!
BE Harlow & Epping went on a Lee Valley Boat Trip. They have done their "cream tea cruise", on the Pride of Lee. Just under 2 hours cruise up and down the River Lee, enjoying the view of the countryside and luxurious houses with gardens backing onto the river.
With a very good tea, relaxation and entertainment, all had a good time viewing the stretchline river with the bird life.

The quiz night was a great success with 12
