We still have our bear dressed in an End Polio Now T-shirt and named Po Lio. The bear has been to many club functions already and on the trip to India to the NID. There is a diary record of all the events attended and an ever-open backpack for collecting. The next sequence of appearances will be at our semi-final and final events of all of our Youth competitions that happen in the next month. Po Lio’s target is £1070 from 1070.
