The 2008 Sponsored

"RIDE & STRIDE"

takes place on

Saturday 13th September 2008

If you would like to take part in this years event, please contact your Deanery Organiser or contact the County Ride Organiser or click here.

All Parish organisers are contacted in early May, by their Deanery Organiser to welcome them to take part in this years event.

Then in early June all the 'Ride' stationery and posters is distributed to the Parish Organisers.  However, if you run short or you would like to see or print off one of the forms for the 2008 Ride a list of the forms in 'pdf' format are available on the right hand side.

PLEASE NOTE: There has been a major printing error and the wrong documentation has in the already been distributed to the Deanery & Parish Organisers. The important document is the Churches List (Note the downloadable files in the right hand panel contain all the correct information)

The document states that it lists ALL CHURCHES that are OPEN.  When It should have read as follows:

LIST OF CHURCHES, CHAPELS AND COLLEGES

Ask your Parish or Deanery organiser for lists of churches taking part in adjoining counties.

***Please be discreet when arriving at a church where a wedding is in progress***

Thank you! The 2007 Bike Ride raised more than £31,600 half of which was returned to the participating churches.  Gift Aid raised £15,800.  Further details can be obtained from the treasurer whose address is on the reverse.

We list all the churches which we know about.  It is always very difficult to know which churches are open when going to print.  This year we have therefore made NO attempt to specify whether a church is open or not.  In general information is included, but we cannot indicate whether churches are taking part or not. 

This information is only advisory as circumstances may cause late changes.  Not all churches will be staffed, some may only have visitors' lists displayed and some may not be participating; we list all churches in case you wish to visit them regardless of whether the church is taking an active part.  Please be indulgent with the arrangements which you may find and if you wish to see a particular church then make contact with the church custodians before you arrive. 

Due to circumstances beyond our control the information we have compiled may be out of date.  This applies particularly to churches which have been closed for worship and which may, as a result, have passed into private hands.  If you know of, or find, any churches in this category we would be very pleased if you would let the Ride Organiser know so that the list may be amended for next year's ride.
