Cycle - 38 mile circular route on North Norfolk’s most scenic roads

Well done girls - we made it!!!

The magnificent 57 completed the task they set out to do. 

All made it to the top of Ben Nevis and all made it down again.  A ball to celebrate the event took place on 10th June and at the evening, the announcement was made that £62,240 was raised by all the girls working non stop to seek sponsorships. Thanks to each and every one of them - thanks also to Tremaine and the boys who helped us with this challenge, we couldn't have done this without them.  So many people supported us in so many ways, from the support team and local people all willing us to raise the money needed to complete the garden in the Centre. 

This pledge by Tremaine in memory of his partner Carla has now been completed.
