Dear Editor

 As lockdown restrictions ease, we’ll be organising our famous club rides from 29th March. As a social cycling club we'll be adhering to the 'rule of six' (British Cycling-affiliated clubs can do groups of 15) and Government guidelines - watch on our Facebook page for dates and times of rides. We're looking forward to getting back together again!

A poll will be held on Thursday 6 May 2021 between 7am and 10pm

Whether it’s 50p or £50 please help local charities who have struggled during the pandemic. If you don’t wish to take part in a challenge, you can still donate. We have had a great response to the Sunflower challenge but we still have plenty of seeds if you wish to take part. 

The last twelve months have been strange to say the least, but that hasn't prevented the team at St Peter's Church Church Langton from engaging in a new and exciting project.
