We had ideal weather conditions on 14 September and a splendid send-off by the Lord-Lieutenant at Corsham. Many thanks to all who took part, whether riding or striding, manning churches or providing refreshments.
The prize for the annual Wiltshire Ride and Stride ‘Best Achieving Church’ has been won for the NINTH year in succession by St James’ Bratton.
Bratton fielded 48 participants in Ride+Stride and raised over £1,700.
Charles Graham presented the Brooke Cup for the best achieving church in this year’s Ride+Stride to Cally Walters, one of the parish organisers, who accepted it along with Rector of Bratton the Revd Andrew Sinclair, and Lord Brooke.
