Join in the Wiltshire Ride & Stride

It's Ride and Stride time again. Put Saturday 8th September 2012 in your diary and get all the family out on their bikes to visit as many historic Wiltshire churches as you can between 10.00am and 18.00.

The video below explains what happens - you can get more details, entry forms and church lists from Caroline Pitt: carolinempitt@googlemail.com  
or Tel 521732.

There is a £500 prize and the Brooke Cup for the best parish effort (based on the numbers of participants x the amount raised). There are also cash prizes for under 15, Under 18's and over 65's for the most money raised.

Last year Christ Church raised £1,200 in sponsorship (£610 came back to us - the rest went to the Historic Churches Trust). We came third in the Brooke Cup. Will Penfold and Rachel White won prizes in the under -15's for raising the most money.

This is a great way to get to know your local area and continues a family tradition at Christ Church going back many years. There is usually a great welcome and often refreshments available at the churches
you visit. Download a poster.
