Updates, broken wrists and RAFFLE PRIZES!

Team SVCR have been beavering away in earnest over the past few weeks, and so many plans are being made and finalised for the race day. Honestly guys, its going to be amazing fun!

A great many wonderful donations have been made to us, its fantastic. And the prizes are pretty awesome.

It's a glorious feeling to know how many generous people there are out there in the world, and we're very lucky to know alot of them!

Very exciting news; the raffle tickets for the day are now available to buy - we're charging 50p per ticket or £2 for a strip of 5. And considering the prizes available, in layman's terms, that's naff all!

We have...... (insert dramatic drum roll here please)

And that's not all we have!!! On the day we'll also have a silent auction, a balloon pop and a Chase the Race game which all have wonderful prizes attached.

And a cake stall with yummies provided by the delightful Charlie Dunn and Jo Coleman. It will be a fabulous day, and hopefully we'll raise lots to help Macmillan in the amazing and vitally important help they provide to so many families.

Now these cakes, very important that we discuss the cakes. I personally have tried cakes by both ladies before and the experience is verging on the religious. Jo's chocolate Guiness cake is actually as good as it sounds. Well a bit better actually, but I don't want to think about the chocolate Guiness cake too much in case I start trying to eat the keyboard in frustration that I don't have any chocolate Guiness cake.

And as for Charlie, well her cupcakes would give Nigella's a run for her money. They are divine!

On to slightly less delightful news - the man, the maverick, the gentleman that is Nathan Carvell, our race team captain, has suffered a setback. Whilst attempting to save a small child and her puppy from a burning building, at night, whilst being shot at........ok, Nathan fell of his bike at a race and broke his wrist. I was aiming for cinematic epicness, but its Monday and I've only had one coffee, so it's just not going to happen.

But yes, we have lost our cycle team captain, but no fear, the race will continue undettered and all the glorious fun will still be had by all.

There will be more updates coming soon, if you'd like to get any raffle tickets or need any more information, please either comment here, or visit the facebook page or twitter feed! See, we're ever so multi media.
