The Great Nottinghamshire Bike Ride 2010 was a huge success again this year
with over 4,000 cyclists taking part in the event. Thank you to everyone who rode and raised sponsorship for the
benefitting charities. Special thanks to "Team CP Sport" who cycled the 18 mile route and to Mary and Katy Johnson
who took on the 50 mile challenge to raise funds for CP Sport. I would also like to thank our marshals who ensured
a safe route for the riders and cheered them on their way and to the ladies at Shelford Village Hall for providing
those much needed bacon butties! We couldn't be part of this event without the time and support of our volunteers.
Thank you!

Easter Egg Competition: CP Sport is egg-tremely grateful to
PNDesign in
Beeston for donating this huge chocolate Easter Egg to CP Sport. This amazing chocolate creation from
Chocolate Utopia
was in high demand with mouths watering at the very sight of it, so one of our supporters Dermot Dolan,
raffled off tickets at £1 each to his work colleagues at the County Council. This raised over £50 for CP Sport!
Unfortunately the egg was dropped on delivery but we're sure it will taste just as good in pieces!
