Benji Meeks is currently cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End (That’s 1000 miles in 14 days). He has to be back for a wedding! He is aiming to raise £1 per mile. All the money raised will be going to our charity which will be…
Well it chucked it down almost all day, we all got very wet but thanks a million to all of our dedicated supporters who braved the poor weather and came to our open day. We didn’t do as well as previous years, but we never expected to with the weather being so poor, but we never…
