00:00 Hello, I'm Cara, Community Events Fundraiser here at Compton Care. Today I'm with Hugh

00:07 and Anita, our long-standing patrons, who are going to tell us a little bit more about

00:12 our Round the Reek in event.

00:14 Yeah, it's the year seven of the Round the Reek in events and every one has been a huge

00:20 success. We've got three new routes for you this year. I'm hoping you're going to come

00:24 along and ride. Now then, so far over the period since we've run the event, we've raised

00:29 almost £200,000. So I'm hoping you're going to be there on the ride this year to raise

00:33 money for us. Make a note of the event, it is on Sunday, May the 19th. It starts from

00:39 Kingsford Rugby Club. And if you want to take advantage of the early bird offer, so you

00:44 can save £5 on your entry, get your entry now. It closes on Friday, mid-February. Okay,

00:51 look on the website and all the details are there. We look forward to your company on

00:55 the day. And when you've completed the ride, both Anitra and myself will be there to present

00:59 the medals to you. And there's extra edition this year. At the end, there's going to be

01:02 refreshments for everybody. It's going to be a super day. Make a note of the day and

01:07 please come along and support a very worthy cause so we can all raise buckets of money

01:11 for Compton Care.
