Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust Saturday 11 th September 2010 Registered Charity no 1021632 SPONSORED RIDE AND STRIDE LIST OF PARTICIPATING CHURCHES and INSTRUCTIONS FOR CYCLISTS AND WALKERS

* Church is open and manned all day T (or DT) Toilet available (suitable for disabled people) R – Register is available all day at church, which may be open for a period as well. Open – church open but unmanned

This list shows all the churches in taking part in this year’s sponsored Ride and Stride and you can also go into other counties – see below. The churches are listed alphabetically so look at a map for churches you may wish to visit. Sponsorship can be based on the number of churches visited or can be a lump sum. Plan a route visiting as many churches as you wish, either on your own or with friends. Some parishes plan a group event, others leave it to individuals. The latest list of open churches and other forms are on the web site www.nhct.org.uk .

Churches marked with an asterisk (*) in the list are open and manned between 10am and 6pm on Saturday 11 th September 2010 and quite a few of them provide biscuits and cold drinks. Please try to include as many of these as possible in your route. Some churches have special events happening and these are also mentioned where we have been informed of this. Other churches have a Register left for you to complete, either outside, or inside if the church is open but not manned. Some of these churches may also leave drinks out for you to help yourself. Some churches are manned for part of the time and some of these are able to have a register available for the rest of the time.

Before the day, obtain sponsorship , either per church you intend to visit or a lump sum, from friends, colleagues and neighbours. Ask them to consider, if they are taxpayers, filling in the Gift Aid section (clear house number or name, postcode, signature and date) which means their sponsorship money will have another 25% added to it by HM Revenue and Customs.

At each church you visit, make sure you put on the Register your name, church for which you are riding or walking (eg St Mary , Anytown) and the time. Your sponsor form will be signed by the person manning the church; if no-one is there, fill in your own or get your friend to sign it.

After the event , collect your sponsorship money and hand it, with the sponsorship form to your Local Organiser who gave you the form, this list etc. The money collected will be divided equally between the Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust and the church or chapel of your choice.

Please cycle responsibly and carefully. We strongly recommend you study all the relevant sections of the Highway Code. Cyclists, also please ensure your bicycle is roadworthy. We advise you to wear a crash helmet and suitable clothing. Walkers, please avoid walking in the road if possible: if not, take great care when walking on or crossing roads.

INSURANCE LIABILITY The trustees of the Northamptonshire Historic Churches Trust accept no liability in respect of personal injury or damage sustained by any person in relation to the Ride and Stride, save where this is caused by the negligence of the trustees. Any horse riders taking part must have public liability insurance. If a participant wishes to have personal insurance, he/she must make their own arrangements.
