| Day Zero - Avon 3-Day Walk |
Pledge Office
Short of pledges? You have two options - either to make up the remainder yourself,
or stop by the very-unofficial pledge swap and collect the
"extra" pledges of those who raised more and have some to share.
For my walk, the pledge swap was at the entrance to the Pledge Office, but it
may be elsewhere at different Avon 3-Day Walk sites. Naturally, it is best
for the charity if each walker collects their own pledges, and nobody wants to
encourage less-than-vigorous pledge solicitation. But the pledge 
swap at
this walk helped 92 walkers reach their minimum. I stopped
by and dropped off the extra pledges I had in hand. I filled out pledge forms for
them but left off the Walker Number and Walker Name so that could be filled in by those
who needed more pledges. This is an informal process that is not an
"official" part of the event, so be patient and helpful in this area, and if you
benefit from the swap, consider offering to help the swap team in some way.
Medical
Next stop is the Medical area where they ensure that your medical form has been received
and has all needed information and signature. Once everything is in order, they
stamp your check-in card and you can proceed to the Safety and Orientation Video.
