SUFFOLK HISTORIC CHURCHES CYCLE RIDE
SATURDAY, 13th SEPTEMBER.
We need recorders to man the church ( spells of one hour ) from 9.45—
6pm. We also want cyclists, walkers or gym enthusiasts who can use the
exercise-bike or treadmill. If you can do any of these, please volunteer and
get as many sponsors as you can—remember that half your sponsorship
money comes to the parish, and we did not get very much last year; can we
do better in 2008? Recorders can also be sponsored. Details are on the
church notice board. Think about Gift Aid which can increase your “take”
by 25%. If you want more details, please phone 277582.
