Another event as part of 12 months of fund raising for the Alzheimer's Society is 'An Evening with Phil Defreitas' being held at Cleve Rugby Club, Mangotsfield on Friday Apr 28th. In conjunction with Lashings and supported by Michael Morgan Agencies and Doug Hillard Sports the evening will include a Q&A with 'Daffy' as well as auctions / raffle and a buffet. Tickets are £30 but why not get a table of 10 together ? Great pre-season event and also ahead of the final Gas game against Millwall. If anyone fancies coming along or wants more info then give me a shout, 07969 204457. Fordy

Just a quick post to say we have had to pull the plug on the Sent 2 Cov ride for this Saturday, have lost 2 of the 4 riders for different reasons and with no subs to call on things have conspired against us. We will however try again at the start of next season once the fixtures are out, as Cov will be relegated by then they will not be an option. Really appreciate the kind words of support and bits of sponsorship to date, the fund raising for the Alzheimer's Society for the remainder of the year will continue. We did get a signed shirt to auction in conjunction with the ride and would still like to offer it up, there is a post up on this page about it, www.facebook.com/fordydementiafriend/. Also have organised 'An Evening will Phil Defreitas' so if you follow cricket as well there will be a post in the General Sport Chat threads. Looking forward to being part of the 4K (?) travelling support on Saturday. #UTG. Fordy

Even cheaper to bike it up, still not too late if anyone wants to join the 'Sent2Coventry' ride. Leaving The The Mem at 6am, if anyone fancies then get in touch.

Have heard a whisper (via twitter) that there may be a possibility of a postponement due to International call ups, desperately trying to find out more as this is the game myself and a few others are riding to for Charity. Hoping it doesn't get moved as assume a re-arrangement will be mid-week. If anyone is privvy to finding out it would be much appreciated.

Hi Antonio, thanks for the reply, ideally we're looking for people to do the whole ride and to be able to share the workload up front, plus we still don't have a van currently so not in a position to be able to offer the partial ride as an option.

Hello, A further appeal for some help for the ride for the Alzheimer's Society being done ahead of the game on March 25th: 1. Ideally still looking for 2 more riders to join 4 others, will help keep the pace up and hopefully more time pre-game. Would suit seasoned roadies capable of 100 miles at around an average of 15mph 2. Looking for someone with a van who would be prepared to bring the 4/6 bikes back after the game 3. If anyone can spare a donation however big or small, will be a big help, the fund raising link is: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Rich-FordThe ride is part of a year long effort to raise as much as I can for this Charity so any and all help is much appreciated, I am aware there are a couple of other equally worthy activities going on within the club. Anyone who can help out with points 1 or 2 above will get 2 tickets for the home game against Shrewsbury on Apr 1st. Cheers, Fordy

Thanks pirateman, all sponsorship gratefully received. We'll be pushing a link nearer the time just hoped a couple more people might like to get on board with the ride.

Myself and someone else are currently organising a 'Sent 2 Coventry' ride in aid of the Alzheimer's Society. The plan is to ride from The Mem to The Ricoh Arena ahead of the away fixture at Coventry on March 25th and are looking for 3 or 4 more riders to join us. It's approx 95 miles and the plan currently is to leave around 6am and would really suit seasoned riders who can average around 15mph. If you fancy it or know someone else who would then please get in touch. www.facebook.com/events/1358899430850690/Cheers, Fordy
