Cycle Challenge from Beeston to Paris!
06 March, 2008
Website: www.r4rh.orgA team of parents, friends and teachers are to undertake a gruelling challenge to raise vital funds towards a new school minibus.
The event is being organised by The Round Hill Parent Teacher Association of Round Hill Primary School, Beeston and the challenge, which will take place during the May half term week, is to cycle from Beeston to Paris – a total of 355 miles.
It is hoped to raise £15,000 towards:
• a school minibus, enabling the school to develop new learning opportunities and expand the range of extra-curricular activities.
• cycle training for the pupils, to help them keep safe on the roads.
• cycle storage for the pupils’ bikes.
A spokesman for the vent said: “By completing the challenge, we also hope to promote the use of sustainable transport throughout the whole school community as well as healthy lifestyles and safe cycling practice.
“And of course, the spirit of endeavour in all the pupils at our school.”
