Many thanks to the volunteers who worked so hard to collect funds at Prestwich Tesco. It was most successful - raising £662.95 for Club funds. Well done everyone! Well done too to Angela Green and Janice Lowe for organising it! Since June, Janice and Angela's fundraising have brought in £1500 funds for the Club!
Everyone agreed that it had been a good ride in excellent conditions with all riders completing the full course. Thanks to everyone who took part in this sponsored event! Please send outstanding sponsorship money and sponsor form to Janice Lowe in a sealed envelope, with your name clearly stated.
The Club has already paid every individual rider's RiderBike insurance premium in advance in one lump sum. Could Riders reimburse the Club by sending a cheque for £15.50 (individual or £26 if you have already requested Family membership), payable to "Bury Tandem Club for the VH", to David Jones, 22 Turks Rd., Radcliffe, Manchester M26 4PU. Thank you!
