Revd Tim has laid down the gauntlet! Race The Rector is on! Here is Tim’s challenge as part of Ride & Stride on Saturday 14th September:
Would you like one of these certificates in your downstairs loo? Take part in #racetherector2019 and race against my KOM on any of these four segments on #strava by 5pm on Saturday 14th September and you could get one of these framed certificates for a suggested donation to my churches of £10-15.
There will also be tea, real coffee and homemade cake and there might even be some beers in the church halls of #holytrinitytidworth and #stjamesludgershall from 2pm to 5pm, again for a donation.
I’ll be riding from St James Ludgershall, leaving just after 2pm, and riding to Holy Trinity Tidworth by 5pm via Hungerford, Ramsbury, Marlborough and Pewsey. You’re very welcome to join me (at your own risk and it’s not a race… but we might see who gets there first!) @ Wiltshire
A team from Holy Trinity, Tidworth and St James, Ludgershall have formed a Thrive Learning Community alongside other Benefices and Parishes in the Ramsbury Area. We met in the middle of June for two very long and full days that were focused on our journey so far, who were are and where we have come from. We began the course by using post-it notes and string to construct a bayeux-tapestry-style story of the small villages of North and South Tidworth being subjected to a serious of invasions by the British Army, first in 1914 and then again and again over the decades with the largest invading force coming to Tidworth this summer as the Army ramps up its re-basing program.
