Sunday finishes us off with a new event to this year’s festival in a Cycle Sportive, choose to do the 53 km run or 106 km for the more energetic. We all know some cyclists so pass it on to those you know.

Our very own Paddy Douglas puts a lot of time and effort into the organisation of all of the above but he can’t do it all, if you would like to volunteer to help out with some of the events it would be much appreciated, contact Paddy for more information on 078 5699 3714

We look forward to seeing you all at this years festival, have fun!
