Shackleton Centenary Expedition
Hey, look: we're on Facebook. And you can be there too.
We have a Facebook group set up for all our friends from all-over everywhere: we're calling it the Shackleton Centenary Supporters Club (SCSC).
Shackleton Centenary Supporters Group
Join us, won't you?
As an aside, it's been interesting to note how other NGO's and charities are doing the Facebook thing as well of late: it seems like a very natural extension of calling all your friends and family to let them know what you're doing.
We hope it works out as well for us as it does for friends trying to raise a few bob running a marathon, and we don't see why it shouldn't.
Over the coming weeks and months we'll update the Supporter's Club with what we're doing training-wise, and keep you all informed of our progress in raising money to make the trip happen. The group page links back to us here at our website, so you can find out the latest news there, or drop in back here for the main story.
Mmm... technology.
The Lansdowne Club have been very kind in letting us use their facilities for various team meetings and events, and acting as poste restante. If you want to donate to the Shackleton Foundation, if you'd rather not use our Justgiving page to donate online, you can post cheques to The Shackleton Foundation, c/o The Lansdowne Club, 9 Fitzmaurice Place, London, W1J 5JD

Descendents to Follow in Shackleton's Footsteps
Saturday 6th October 2007, Henry Worsley's local paper have picked up on our story, here's a link to what they had to say about it:
Some early history on how we got here,
The planning for the Expedition began shortly after Will Gow appeared in Radio 4's 'Excess Baggage' of October 2005, where he anounced his desire to re-enact the 1909 Nimrod Expedition. Team-members soon got on board after family members heard the broadcast... which goes to show that radio still gets the required results even in the internet era. Thanks go to Sandi Toksvig and crew.
