Four decent lads, went off to go wild camping and never made it….let that sink in! They weren’t terrorising the neighbourhood in ski masks, or fighting or in a gang…just nice lads and now they are gone. Breaks your heart 💔 it really does

Due to the current situation and in line with other organisations we have decided not to use Grit-Girls next season! Instead we will have middle aged blokes with fat bellies and their arse crack showing at all our events

Competition time folks!!! Our anniversary charity Gritter is almost finished but we need a name for it! The most original name will win a Bottle of Fizz or a 3KG sack of Haribo! The 100th suggestion also wins a Bottle of Chateauneuf-Du-Pape! So get retweeting folks!
