Cyclists Raise Thousands For East Farndon War Memorial Refurbishment

A team of cyclists raised £3,000 after completing a 100-mile sponsored ride from the Cenotaph in London to the War Memorial in East Farndon.

Tom Oakden, Paul Hodgetts, Scott Harrison, John Parker and David Hancock took on the big challenge on Sunday, in support of a major fundraising campaign to refurbish the memorial in the village.

The money raised completed the £10,000 needed for the refurbishment work, with other fundraisers held in the village over the past few months.

The team were supported along the route by Neil Beesley and Merv Curtis and villagers turned out to welcome them home, after setting off from London at 7am.
