Bike Ride charities evening
FOR the first time for many years this is to take place at the Newtown House Hotel, in the new function suite, on Friday, April 3.
The switch comes after many years of being accommodated in the sports hall at Seacourt, where we have always been well-looked after and sometimes have had more than 100 guests.
Since many riders are now sending their fundraising directly to their chosen charity or charitiies, often via JustGiving, the online sponsorship website, rather than via ACE, our charitable organisation, we have decided to change the format of the evening to reflect this.
We shall only be inviting charities and branches of charities from Hayling, as well as those beneficiaries nominated by ACE, which are overwhelmingly Hayling-based.
This means that it will be a more intimate evening, with no more than 30 or so representatives expected, as well as riders, support crew members and other invited guests.
We look forward to a good evening.
We are very pleased to say that the sponsorship money is coming in well from this year's ride and we confidently expect to reach the cumulative total of 1,100,000, with more than 68,000 already recorded as having been collected.
There will still be funds available for local deserving causes, so it may be worth writing in, if you feel that you have a special case. PAUL FISHER
