[Closed] Sussex Muddy@rse Muddy@ngels #forjenn 2016 fundraising plans

Tonight's news from Morvelo and their sweary socks (fabulous and full blooded response Morvelo - well done) has given me the kick up the backside to post here.

I run a mountain bike club of sorts, called Sussex Muddy@rse. We ride on them South Downs a lot, as well as other local singletrack hangouts in Sussex and Surrey.

My wife and a couple of the other girls in the Club have done some daft challenges over the last couple of years - they did the South Downs Way in day in 2014 and do some races and trailtrax events.

Like Charlies Angels but with green wigs and a collection bucket

This year they were pretty hard hit by Jenn's death, with the result that they have dedicated their challenge this year to raising money for Macmillan.

Planned activities are:-

- Being sponsored to do the Trailtrax series - the more points, the more money
- Cake sales and donation collecting at our Monthly Club rides (i.e. hanging out in car parks selling to the public)
- Running a M@d Hatters tea party (Macmillan afternoon tea) somewhere unlikely e.g. between some switchbacks on a trail
- Hosting a silent disco on the South Downs

Event 1 - 50 quid to the good

It struck me that we need to get the word out there to make sure that they raise as much as they can. We don't need to promote the Club (its a voluntary Club with no membership fees and anything - we're doing just fine) - I do want to blow their trumpet a bit - they have started the ball rolling by themselves. The target is £1000 this year for Macmillan.

Here's the link to the main thread [url= http://z6.invisionfree.com/Sussex_Muddyarse/index.php?showtopic=4318 ]Muddy @ngels for Macmillan, Fundraising in 2016[/url] which contains links to all the event threads.

If you see some people freezing cold in green wigs on your travels, bung them a quid or so please (next one, Firle Beacon, Easter Sunday)

If you want join in on the other events or help out organise, join the forum and post (painless and free).

Hope this is ok to post here (mods get in touch if not)
