On the Sunday 29th September 2024, members of the Wine Trade Sports Club and Foundation will walk around London in memory of Michael Hasslacher, who founded the charity over 50 years ago. The 10-mile walk will follow parts of the original route from the first fundraising walk in 1971, ending at The Drinks Trust offices near London Bridge, where they will coordinate with participants of The Harvest Tour.

About the foundation.

In 1969, and again in 1970, the Wine Trade Sports Club (WTSC) organised a Charity Walk, with the dual purpose of gathering its members together and raising funds for a chosen Charity. Then, on the 20th April 1971 the WTSC organised its first ever 'Wine Trade' Charity Walk when, over 12 miles around the City of London, during which a glass of wine was taken at each check point, £800 was raised. Much of this sum was used by the Vintry Homes to purchase a large screen TV for its residents, an almost unheard of luxury in those days. Following this relative success, the WTSC committee recognised the future potential for combining enjoyable events, with fund raising to support charitable works within the trade.
