A glimpse of the outfit!
Why are we doing this?
Thank you for stopping by this page, and we thought we'd explain about how this unusual challenge came to be......
At the start of the Premier League football season two partners at Dutton Gregory; Paul Sams, a Newcastle fan and Jon Whettingsteel, a Southampton fan entered in to a friendly bet about which of their teams would finish the season highest..... unfortunately for Jon, and much to Paul's joy it has been a bit of a one-sided event this season.
The original forfeit was that the loser would have to walk down Winchester High Street in an outfit of the winner's choice.
But always ones to challenge ourselves at Dutton Gregory we decided to push it a bit further.
Paul is a trustee and supporter of the Rainbow Centre for Conducive Education in Fareham; https://rainbowcentre.org/
Jon works closely with the Romsey Opportunity Group; https://www.romseyopgroup.org.uk/
Paul and Jon have decided that rather than now walking the length of the High Street they will both now walk from the Rainbow Centre in Fareham to the Romsey Opportunity Group in Romsey, a total of 19 miles, but Jon will have to do it in the outfit of Paul's choosing, so will be taking on the trek dressed as Catwoman! Paul will no doubt be enjoying the walk proudly in his Newcastle United shirt.
HOW CAN YOU HELP??
