THE DORCHESTER CHURCHES
SPONSORED CYCLE RIDE / STRIDE
FOR THE HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST
Saturday 11th September, 2009

We have been supporting the above charity since 1992 and to date have raised £5,704, 40p. by taking part each year in the sponsored Ride/Stride on the second Saturday of September.
The charity itself is celebrating its 50th year and the Ride/Stride its 20th year.
We need someone to take over the organising and planning this year as those who take part in the stride are not getting any younger! (The cyclists make their own arrangements)

The Trust was founded by the late Owen Morshead in 1960 and has advised and assisted over 300 churches and chapels - all Christian denominations - with grants, interest free loans for fabric repairs and structural maintenance totalling in excess of £1.000.000.
Except for the National Churches Trust, the DHCT does not receive any financial support from Salisbury or Winchester Dioceses, or Dorset County Council and is a wholly independent registered charity and is dependant on voluntary giving.
Help and guidance will be given, so if interested contact either Mavis Brookes or the Rector.
