Story
Hi guys and gals
I hope you take the time to read this!!!
As all our local businesses like myself already know, we are about to lose our secondary school for good!!!!
Our children, grand children, nieces and nephews are going to have to travel up to 14 miles to get to the nearest secondary school which would involve them being on the road very early in the mornings etc and that's just one of the many issues that's going to occur.
Im setting up a charity bike ride which will take place from the Corrwg cwtch Cafe on the 16th December where there will be lots of things going on there through the day!!!
At around 9.30am a group of up to 15 riders will then take to the roads, to complete a 70 mile journey with over 4000ft of climbing And With the change of weather and the early nights drawing in it could turn out to be a bit of a challenge!!!!!!
We will be doing a loop of every village, collecting money as we pass through before we head off up the bwlch, over the rhigos mountains , back down the neath valley into port talbots civic centre car park where we will have a feed station for the riders and a money collection point where they will be selling bows,wrist bands and cakes etc.....
We are also hoping that we can get the evening post to meet us there for group photos along with our banners and the civic centre in the background and hopefully get a good page in our local paper..
We will then head back up the valley through the remaining villages back to Glyncorrwg where we will have a warm welcome and some much deserved food and drinks.
I'm hoping I can get our team of riders to fund their own jerseys which costs around £25 each!!!!
What I'm asking from local businesses is that if any of you would like to add your name or logo to our jerseys for £50, which will then go straight into the 'go fund' page which will then be sent to the schools account for them to pay for the necessary backing they need!!!!
If we was to get a main sponsor to pay for the jerseys, us riders will still put our £25 per jersey into the pot!!!
I really hope you have all read this far and I'm looking forward for your support
Thanks you so much
Tc lloyd

I was born, bread,live and work in the afan valley. over the years I have experienced many things closing down due to lack of funding etc!!! We're now about to lose our secondary school and Me and all our valley community are not willing to stand by and leave this happen!!!
