A whole host of villagers are taking part in the annual Ride & Stride this year to raise funds for the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and Redlingfield Church of St Andrews. Taking part Saturday 12th September from Redlingfield are: Helen Cook and her two boys Samuel & Jacob; Alison & Adrian Smith and their two children, Tom & Phoebe; Beverly El Shaboury; Ben and Emma Hewitt; and Phillip Leeder. It is short notice but everyone needs sponsors - so this is your opportunity to help out and support a good cause. We will have sponsorship forms available for you to sign at the Pub on the Green. The Annual Sponsored Ride & Stride is a National event and every second Saturday in September cyclists all round the country are out making money for their local county Churches Trust. The idea started in Suffolk, and consistently Suffolk has headed the table of funds raised. The Ride & Stride event is the main source of income to Suffolk Historic Churches Trust to enable it to make grants to churches and chapels of all denominations towards repair and restoration costs. The Ride & Stride is run entirely by volunteers and is inter-denominational, with cyclists invited to seek sponsors who will undertake to pay an agreed sum of money in total or for each place of worship visited by the cyclist between 9.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. on Ride & Stride Day. The money raised by each participant is shared equally between the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and the place of worship nominated by the cyclist. You can either contact me to let me know how much you are pledging or give them to the individuals concerned. As this is a charity event (charity number 267047) you can add gift-aid if you are eligible - which would mean the taxman would add 25p to every pound you donate. (If you wish add gift-aid you will need to provide your full name, address and postcode).
