Story

The next Truants Ride in November 2015 is to the Jucatan Peninsula, Mexico, 130 miles in 48 hours. We are attempting this in order to raise, hopefully with your assistance, much needed funds for three Children's Charities -Teenage Cancer Trust, ChildLine and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy. In still difficult economic times such as now Charities tend to suffer greatly so it’s even more important that we help as much as we can. As is the case with all our Truants we will be paying all costs related to the ride personally so every penny donated goes to the Charities. Nordoff Robbins collect and account all donations before sharing equally with the other two charities. Very kindly, The Bee-Stung Lips have agreed to play for our charities this year so please support the band ... Book us for your parties if you like us on June 11. Many thanks to The Bee-Stung Lips (JB, Thommo, Suz and Tom) for so kindly joining in and making this possible.
