Bristol Bikeathon growing!

Wow…what a day!

Our Bikeathon this year was fantastic but yet again the weather tried to knock us off our feet, quite literally!

A massive thank you to all the riders that entered and came along on the day.

We really wanted to plough ahead with a family day, lots of stalls, a bouncy castle but unfortunately had to disband the idea as the wind was making things dangerous. We did however manage to get our one and only big gazebo up, so refreshments were available!

It was fantastic to see a sea of green t-shirts at the start and watch everyone go off through the estate. I was crossing fingers that the change of the long route would be more acceptable this year and everyone that came back said both routes were great and the views were amazing, they got to see parts of Bristol that they didn’t know existed!

Christmas Draw 2010

Our Christmas Draw went well at the end of last year, raising the fabulous amount of £1108. A big thank you to all who helped sell tickets it was very much appreciated.

Our winners are listed below:

First Prize £200 – Richard Amour
Second Prize £100 – Mr Jennings
Third Prize £50 – Jill Parkinson

We also had 5 prizes of vouchers which went to Stefan Thomson, Mrs Davies, Amy Heath, Mr Garmston and J Davies.

A massive thank you also needs to go to, two of the Wickes Stores in Bristol, who helped us sell £360 worth of the final total. This is the second year running they have helped us, may it continue!

Our Open Day…

Yesterday was our Open Day, a chance for anyone to come down and have a chat to the Bristol Branch members.

It was lovely to meet Serena, mum to Beatrice, one of the entrants in our drawing competiton. Tea and coffee flowed all day and Mary’s cake was superb.

And most importantly some mosaic tiles were purchased!

If anyone would like to ‘buy a tile’ and make Daisy’s picture come to life, then please visit http://leukaemia-and-lymphoma-research.mosaicappeal.com

Thank you!
