Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page
On 13. September 2008, Sophie, Amy, and I will took part in the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust sponsored bike-ride. We visited as many Oxfordshire Churches as we could on our Trandem managing a total of 20 (See below).
The money we raise will be shared between Oxfordshire Historic Trust and our own church St. Mary-le-More in Wallingford. That's the big one in the Market Place and is due for some major alterations soon, which will make it more usable for different groups. More about St.Mary-le-More can be found on this website: http://www.marylemore.co.uk/
Please sponsor me either per church or with a fixed donation of your choosing.
We cycled on the Tandem with Sophie going by herself on her own bike to
1. St. Mary-le-More in Wallingford
then we walked for a bit to those Wallingford churches:
2. the Methodist Church
3. the Ridgeway Communitiy Church
4. St. Johns Catholic Church
got the bikes back to go to
5. the Quaker meeting house
6. St. Leonards
7. Wallingford Baptist Church
8. St. Peter's
9. St. Mary Magdalen, Crowmarsh Gifford
10. St. Mary Newnham Murren
11. John the Baptist Mongewell
close to North Stoke, Sophie decided that it would be easier on the muddy paths if she was attached to the Tandem - does that make it a Trandem - or a Tripledem or what (OK before you get the Oxford dictionary out, it is still only a tandem no matter how many seats, so long as there are at least 2)
so on to
12. St. Mary the Virgin North Stoke
13. St. Andrews South Stoke
14. St. Thomas Goring
15. Catholic Church St. JOhn Goring
16. Goring Free Church
17. Streatley - which is strictly speaking Berkshire, but they were doing a similar event and accepting each other's signatures ..
18. St. John Moulsford
19. Cholsey Free Church
20. St. Mary's Cholsey
with about 3 Minutes to spare before the official closing time of 6 pm
