Be part 6th annual PIP Mountain Bike Challenge – help needed 10-15th October 2017!

Stewarding / Event Support volunteers needed for Pursuing Independent Paths (PIP) in RG9

On October 14th the 6th annual PIP Mountain Bike Challenge takes place in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Over 100 people will ride over 20 miles through the Chilterns helping PIP fundraise to continue supporting adults with learning disabilities to achieve their potential.

We need lovely volunteers to help the Challenge run smoothly. We need stewards to man the route and keep everyone safe and going in the right direction, but also really could use a hand in setting up, prepping for the BBQ and taking down again. Would you be able to help?

We need help on the day itself but could also do with hand with a range of tasks that need to be done in the build up to the event from 10 October onwards.

All volunteers receive: a detailed information pack and briefing, a free PIP t-shirt and a bbq with drinks after the event at Lovibonds.
