<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">The legendary Blackpool Seagulls Ice Hockey Team has reunited after 20+ years and some of the guys are swapping their skate blades for a couple of bike wheels by taking part in the Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride 2012 on Sunday 8</span><span style="font-size: small;"> July.</span></span></p>
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">The idea to do the ride was the brainchild of Mr Phil Kirwan of the Blackpool Seagulls and has worked hard (I use those words loosely) to build up a team which we hope will continue to grow as the weeks go on.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">The team will be cycling approximately 60 miles, whatever the weather, to raise much needed funds for Brian House based in Bispham, Blackpool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">So far, and to varying degrees of success, the guys have been training energetically since the idea was borne; or at the very least they have been thinking about it in various beer gardens around the Fylde Coast!!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">As the months count down and the big day approaches, it’s now up to all the teams family members, friends, Blackpool Seagulls supporters old & new, all ice hockey fans, ice skaters, Old Farts, Joe Public and supporters of Brian House to dig deep & donate to this much worthy cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">The last thing you need is Linzi ‘pay up or else’ Hughes or Nikkie ‘Hong Kong’ Kenyon knocking on your door!</span></span></p>
