Bike ’n Hike 2009 - A NEW RECORD The 2009 Bike ’n Hike total, with Gift Aid, was £103,564, a new record for this Trust! Can we do even better in 2010?
Top fundraising place last year went to St Andrews, Stanstead Abbots, closely followed by St Peter Berkhamsted and Holy Trinity Bishops Stortford, all of which raised more than £2,700 each. One of the best newcomers was St Thomas More RC, Knebworth and there were impressive totals raised by St Swithun, Sandy, St Paul’s Bedford, and St Mary’s Braughing. |

Some 600 churches in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire were open to receive visitors.
