Hedon Rangers football Club – Appeal

THIS LETTER OF APPEAL has been received from Ian Smith on behalf of the Hedon Rangers AFC Committee. It is hoped that local businesses and groups can respond:

Hedon Rangers Football Club was formed in 1982 with the sole purpose of providing boys and girls from the local area with access to organised football and a platform to develop a sporting interest that will last a lifetime. We pride ourselves in having a positive input in the local community with our intention being to make children’s introduction and involvement in the game of football as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

The Way of the Roses Cycle Ride – also the way to a new Paull Village Hall!

SPONSORED CYCLISTS will be travelling through Lancashire and Yorkshire to raise money for the Paull Village Hall.

Kenny Harrison and Pete Allan and friends will be tackling the ‘The Way of the Roses’ cycle ride, between Morecambe and Bridlington and back to Paull, a distance of 200 miles.

The team will be raising funds, via sponsorship, for the Paull Village Hall Building Fund.  Sponsorship forms have been placed in all three pubs in the village (The Crown Inn,  The Humber Tavern and The Royal Oak) so if you can call in and add your contribution that would be great.

The ride will begin in Morecambe on Thursday July 14th and end outside the Village Hall, in Paull, at [updated time] 1pm on Sunday 17th July 2011.  Please come along and support their return. The Press will be there so lets put Paull on the map with everyone turning out to support them.
