Congratulations to all the Mums, Dads, Aunties, Uncles & Grandparents who raised the grand sum of £227.00 in aid of Headway at the children's mountain bike presentation. If that was not enough over the past year the Club has also supported Jersey Hospice, Cancer Relief & the Anthony Nolan Trust. And addition, our large participation in the La Pierre Le Bigaut in Brittany helps research into Cystic Fibrosis. There is of course more to come in our help for good causes because as usual there will be the Boxing Day Dash in aid of the Jersey Christmas Appeal.
