THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR CYCLATHON
We would like to say a huge thank you for all your support for our Cyclathon on Sunday 22nd September.
As of Monday 30 September the overall amount raised is £1,062.75 through direct pledges, donations through our crowdfunding page and on the day. This has exceeded our hopes and reflects tremendously on both the fundraising team and our supporters in the wider community.
The 20 participants and their supporters were overwhelmed by the interest and generosity shown by passers-by. We clocked up 142.8 miles and raised just short of £250 on the day. A special mention has to go to Dean and his team at Loddon Co-op, without whose support and assistance this would never have been possible and to James and Vanessa for the loan of their gazebo.
Well done and thank you!

DIDN'T WE DO WELL?
Chairman Richard Birbeck has now heard from TESCO the good news that we have been awarded £2,000 under the Bags of Help Scheme. Given that we were never going to win the highest prize (we were up against a defibrillator for Beccles) this is a really good result. It could not have been done without the help of you, our members, your families and friends, so well done all of you.

CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISING STOP PRESS
At the Gym on 21 December, Chairman Richard Birbeck oversaw the draw for the Christmas Hamper
and 6 others prizes. Congratulations to Katherine, Bob, Trevor, Helen, Sue & Rob, Emma and Sue,
whose numbers were drawn by members gathered around. Prizes have been collected and will

A big thank-you to the Fundraising Team who organised this all, and to everyone who participated, either as a prize donor or participant (or both). We raised £109 at the Victorian Evening and an amazing £170 from this morning's raffle, all of which goes into the Gym's coffers to help keep it going. A great effort from all concerned.
