Pedal power
All Saints Church in Old Buckenham was wonderfully supported by many kind folk last year in the annual Norfolk Churches Trust sponsored bike ride. The event is taking place this year on Saturday 12 September from 9am to 5pm. If you don’t fancy pedal power then the day’s journey can be undertaken on foot or in fact any form of non-motorised transport. So why not put the date in your diary, pick up a sponsor form from the back of All Saints Church, or Old Buckenham Stores and have a fun energising day out whilst raising much needed and appreciated funds.
Most of the wonderful and beautiful churches across the local area will be open throughout the day to receive visitors with many providing refreshment. The bike ride is part of a bigger nationwide ride (32 counties in total) so if you fancy really getting on your bike neighbouring counties including Suffolk are taking part with many churches over all of the Eastern region open. Last year the total raised in Norfolk was £135,700 providing a real boost to so many wonderful buildings. The sponsorship money raised is split between your choice of church or chapel and the Norfolk Churches Trust which uses the sponsorship to provide grants for repair and restoration work. The event is great fun with many smiling faces to meet along the way both on bikes and at churches.
And the sun usually shines...
