Update on SSSK bikeathon

Wow, this goes forum back a long time. Hope people still read it!

On the Sunday after the end of the Autumn term, 23 CU members from all years went to Richmond Park to do a sponsored bikeathon from dawn to dusk (8 hours).
It was in aid of Students Supporting Street Kids (SSSK), a charity set up to help deprived street children all over the world, run in large part by CU officers (Gordon Couch, Tom Stephens, Johnny Wacher, Charlie Bretherton, Jay Bridger).
After splitting into groups based vaguely on ability we went round the park between 3 and 7 times (each lap is 8 miles).
We hope to have raised around �1500 altogether.
I'd like to congratulate everyone who took part.
All in all it was good fun, but very tiring :)

The CU carol-singing this year was also in aid of SSSK, and was great fun and very successful.
Next update soon.

I hope all of you have a good time at school/uni/etc.
