Sponsored Ride and StrideRIDE and STRIDE report forJuly, 2010We are on the doorsteps of yet another of our annual Sponsored Ride and Stride events which is the highlight of our calendar each year. All our efforts during the 12-month period are aimed at making sure that everything is in place to ensure that we have a successful and highly productive event as we try to raise money for crumbling buildings in the county of Nottinghamshire. Our hopes will be for a good day in terms of weather conditions come September 11 and if it is as good as it was last year we are in for yet another very successful and highly enjoyable day. Keep your fingers crossed! Let’s hope that the sun will be out to accompany us on our journey to as many churches and chapels, which will have signed for the 2010 event. Our annual get-together held at Winkburn in early July 2 went really well and was attended by more than 120 people. It gave us the opportunity to meet with most of our contacts. The turnout was great and the weather was good and thanks were due to Mr and Mrs Craven-Smith-Milnes who so kindly allows us to use the facilities at Winkburn for our event. Without their help this would not be possible. People present at the get-together collected the envelopes which contained paperwork for their churches and chapels including sponsorship forms, safety leaflets, arrows, posters etc and off course the List of Participating Churches. Our guests were asked to collect packs for those representatives who were not able to be present and following a great response we were left with only a few envelopes that we needed to post. By having packs hand delivered we safe a huge amount of postage. This year the List of Participating Churches contains 248 churches and chapels taking part in 2010. The most important bit of information though has to be the fact that in 2009 we raised £18,921 from sponsorship and another £2,311 from Gift Aid making our total for the year £21,232 – our highest ever in Nottinghamshire!! Thanks to everyone who made this possible. And most importantly wish us good luck for September and hope to see you on your saddles and in your walking shoes on Saturday September 11! Mike Elliott
