Exact
figures are to be confirmed and will be published after
Christmas . However I am delighted to announce that
preliminary total is around £15,000 exceeding last
years total by around a £1000.00. This has bucked the
national trend in these difficult economic times. Well
done all those who have supported us either as riders,
striders or organisers.

New Rides for 2010
06/05/10 11:44 Filed in: NEWS
As promised last year it is our intention to
publish at least two new rides a year, thereby adding
to our list each year to make a small library of
rides through out the county. At the moment we are
concentrating on the northern part of the county
which is not so well represented. Now on line
is
Rugby
North,
soon to be followed by Rugby South.
To remind you, the aim of the rides is to give suggested routes that can be enjoyed by the experienced as well as the occasional cyclist visiting a selection of interesting churches in your area. You can go to as many churches or as few as you wish.

The trustees would like to ‘welcome aboard’ new
trustee Councillor Colin Hayfield. Colin lives in the
north of the county at Shustoke near Coleshill were

no doubt his talents and skills will be most useful
to the trust.
