Discovering Christianity Mayor's pedal-power

SHIPSTON'S mayor will be joining a chain gang of dignitaries from across Warwickshire and the Cotswolds when she takes part in a sponsored cycle ride.

Angela Noyce hopes that the event, which takes place on April 17, the same day as the London Marathon, will help promote healthy living while boosting the coffers of her chosen charity, the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

Also taking part will be the mayors of Stratford, Southam, Alcester, Whitnash and Leamington Spa, along with the chairmen of Stratford, Warwick and Cotswold district councils.

"I'm training around Shipston - I'm still a bit wobbly because I've not been on a bike for years.

"We should have a nice day out as a chain gang, as we call ourselves when we get together, and also raise a good amount of money for charity."

The 12-mile route starts in Stratford's Bancroft Gardens at 1.30pm and will follow a winding course to Long Marston.

To sponsor Mrs Noyce, call into the town council offices at Clark House or call 01608 662180.
