ROTARY CLUB OF STAINBOROUGH take to The Trans-Pennine Trail The Rotary Club of Stainborough is organising this charity event to raise funds for Shelter Boxes, which can be sent out by Rotary at very short notice in response to disasters that occur anywhere in the world (eg the Kashmir earthquake last year). One Shelter Box, containing a large tent, sleeping bags and water purifiers, enables ten people to survive extreme conditions for up to six months. We’re want as many people as possible to either take part in the cycle ride or to sponsor one of the riders, and we would be delighted if you could encourage involvement to support a good cause that is being organised locally to support people anywhere in the world who suddenly find they need our help. The event is open to all ages, but it is particularly suitable as a means for young people and young adults to get involved in a charitable cause and have fun at the same time.
Our charity event is taking place on Sunday 17th September, starting at any time between 10am and midday, joining the Trans-Pennine Trail at either Thurgoland (Cote Lane),or Penistone (Community Centre)or Dunford Bridge The starting time for riders is at any time between 10am to 12 noon, and they will ride any distance they choose between Thurgoland and Dunford Bridge. If you want a sponsor form please visit the Miscellaneous section under downloads. |
