Meeting – Tue 22nd September 7:30pm Well Farm

John has at last had some success with the council and hopefully has managed to get them to at least provide us with some loads of stone. Priority is for the Detton Prescott route and the Titford Bridge Route.

A meeting has been proposed for Tuesday 22nd September at Well Farm (Yvonne and Steve’s) at 7:30pm.

We need to organise some work parties as well as look at fund raising.

Please try to come along. Let me, John or Yvonne know if you can/cannot come.

Work Party – Friday 31st July 6:00pm, Detton- Prescott

John has proposed a work party on Route C – Detton Prescott for this Friday 31st July at 6:00pm.

John will bring the dumper which we will use as a moving platform at the Prescott end. We could also do with a few people to do some clearance from the Detton end which has also got overgrown.

Please contact myself or John if you can come along.

Thanks

Chris

Garden Party 12th July – CANCELLED

We have decided to cancel the Garden Party Fund Raiser planned for 12th July.

We did not have enough interest, probably not helped by the fact it is same time as Wimbledon Men’s Final, which we had missed when arranging date.  As we get closer there is a chance Andy Murray will be playing which would definitely be a conflict for many people.

Many thanks for the offers of help and support, much appreciated.

Will try to arrange something later in summer.

Garden Party Fund Raiser 12th July

We are planning to go ahead with the Fund Raiser “Garden Party” on Sunday 12th July. This will be a social event and very much for local people. Please feel free to print the poster below to promote the event to family, friends and  local riders.

Please mention it to anyone you know who may like to come along and let us know numbers week before.

Help with baking cakes, making sandwiches and help on the morning will be gratefully received. Let us know what you are able to contribute.
