RIVERBANK ROLLICK 2026 – 18th January 10:30 Start

All sold out.
 
Club members have been fantastic in volunteering for the event, but we still need a few more marshals, car park and water station people. Therefore, if you are willing to do any of these jobs, please complete the online form at https://forms.gle/6FV89V4owZdKnGqR7
 

We also need a team to bake cakes to sell them at the event centre. Last year the Friends of Castle School sold cakes to fundraise for the school. However, the FCS no longer exists, so we have decided to do it ourselves and raise funds for one of the designated charities for 2026.

If you can bake some cakes, please fill out the form at https://forms.gle/7yTxjeAfALMcWgYF7 and one of our team will be in touch.
