Sponsored Ride & Stride 2009

The 2009 Sponsored

"RIDE & STRIDE"

takes place on

Saturday 12th September 2009

We are all looking very much forward for the 2009 ride. It has been a very busy year trying to sort out all the paperwork, this has not been made any easier without a Ride Organiser in post.

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

All Parish organisers are contacted in early June, by their Deanery Organiser to welcome them to take part in this years event.  Due to the changes in Deaneries with the loss of Linton Deanery and the merging of some parishes into the old Shelford Deanery creating a new Granta deanery and the remainder joining a merged Fordham & Quy deanery, it has been quite a year for change.  Therefore, the list of ride organisers below is only a draft list and may be subject to change.

Then at the end of 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 2009 Ride a list of the forms in 'pdf' format are available on the right hand side.

Ride and Stride welcomes both cyclists and walkers to be sponsored to take part.  The event is co-ordinated nationally for 10.00 – 18.00: if you are unable to keep the church open all day, please leave the Signing-in forms in a prominent place for participants to sign.  Any refreshments will be very welcome to thirsty participants!  It is also the weekend of Heritage Open Days www.heritageopendays.org.uk when many historic buildings will be open to the public.  To encourage people to ‘staff’ your church during the day, why not sponsor them for CHCT?  Or organise an event that celebrates the history of your church (guided tours?) or a parish activity such as clearing up the churchyard or a drop-in afternoon tea?

The trust would like to thank most sincerely David Harrison for all his many years as the Ride Organiser on his retirement.

We are looking for a volunteer to take over the position of Ride Cooordinator and would warmly welcome any offers of help.   In the meantime if you have any questions please contact Andrew

Please click here for an up to date list of Churches in your Deanery, and whether they are open, manned or have refreshments.  This file will be amended as new information is received.  Note we do not have any information currently for 2009.
