Ride & Stride Sponsored Bike Ride
On and around Saturday 10th September, some intrepid cyclists set off to visit as many churches as they could in a day to raise money for Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust. They were sponsored to do this by kind people of Duns Tew, their families and friends. Who were these people, you ask? None other than Clare Burgess and Chris Drake, our church wardens and Sarah Taylor. They were also helped along the way by Jos Joslin and Ali McKay. They raised an impressive £650 between them, half of which goes to Duns Tew Church and half to The Historic Churches Trust, from which Duns Tew Church benefitted from a large grant last year! Thank you too for the meeters and greeters who welcomed other cyclists and gave them drinks and snacks.
