What's on

Ride & Stride Saturday 13 September

for 11 hours, 15 mins

Ride & Stride Saturday 13 September:
Raise money for local churches by visiting as many as possible on foot/bike/horse - however you like! Routes are available plus info on how to get sponsorship. Or if you can't take part you can sponsor someone else. To find out more or to take part go to: ohct.org.uk/ride-and-stride/

We have at least 2 people taking part again from Milton.
Heather and Liz will both be taking part again raising funds for Milton church and would be grateful for any sponsorship. To sponsor Liz please go to: goodhub.com/go/oxfordshire-historic-churches-trust-200603. Liz writes:
“This is a very worthwhile cause, as in addition to the half proceeds received direct from my ride, the church can apply for grants from the Trust. We have in the past received a generous grant for essential repair works and expect to be applying again in the future.”
