Also pictured (above) is BVAA’s own Rob Bartlett, but can you identify the famous island in the background? It was said once you went there, you never escaped! There’s £50 to the charity of your choice if you are the first person to contact Rob with the correct answer. Emails to rob@bvaa.org.uk

BVAA hats continue to travel the world, sometimes in surprisingly large numbers!

Pictured is a huge team from BEL Valves, bravely doing the Coast to Coast Cycle Ride (C2C – 138 miles) over the first weekend in October. The event was originally organised as one of BEL’s social events for the year but took on a new meaning when one of the intended riders unfortunately passed away when on holiday this year. So BEL undertook the challenge in memory of Davey Leigh. All donations – including one from BVAA - will be split between Davey’s family’s chosen charity – The Stroke Foundation – and Cancer Research UK, another charity that has a special meaning for so many of us.

A website site has been set up for donations, see http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com and search for ‘Alison Ennis.’

BVAA Hats, or Brollies, are available free in exchange for a photo of you using them somewhere interesting. Contact the BVAA.
