FUNDRAISING IDEAS
- STATIC BIKE RIDES – Have you any shops or businesses who will permit you to ride a static bike for an hour or so to raise funds?
- BONUS BALL COMPS – Can you organise a Bonus Ball Competition at your work or amongst social groups? Example £5 per number x 59 = £295 less Prizes £100 = Fundraising £195.
- QUIZ NIGHTS – We already have one arranged by Wheely Tyred on 22nd April but there is quite an appetite for Quizzes if you can arrange a venue.
- HOME SOCIALS – Could you invite a few friends to a social BBQ or Cheese and Wine in return for a donation to your fundraising?
- TREASURE HUNTS – On bike, in car or on foot. Another fun way of raising funds.
- WORK BREAKFASTS – Can you organise a breakfast at your work for colleagues who ride in and pay for a bacon sarnie?
- WEAR ORANGE FOR THE DAY – Could your work have a Dress Orange Day and contribute to your fundraising?
If you do arrange anything then please let us know and we will circulate the details.

PUFFIN PATROL
Many regular 30/30 Cycle Challenges will tell you that giving a rode a purpose helps beat the monotony of riding every day for thirty days.
A good way of providing added interest is to try and get to as many of the Puffins which have appeared around the island. There is even an app to help you locate them. The puffins are helping to raise funds for worthy charities Autism Guernsey and the GSPCA.
