Loughborough’s Duncan Ross writes about Loughborough Round Table’s charity bike ride on 29th September this year:
“Continuing our support for our nominated charity, Rainbows Children’s Hospice, a small team of intrepid explorers have cycled a gruelling 142 mile route from Coast to Coast in just 2 days, from Whitehaven to Newcastle in September, jointly raising in excess of £3000 for the charity.
This unbelievable effort, across some of the highest peaks in the country, totalling almost 3500 meters of ascent was a fantastic achievment for the whole group, all of them crossing the finish line together. A well earned evening of Newcastle entertainment was had by all.
If you have not already done so and would like to contribute, please feel free to provide as much, or as little sponsorship as you can afford by clicking on the just-giving logo on the Loughborough RT website. Every penny counts -your donation will be very much appreciated.
Quote of the trip awarded to Tim at around the half-way point “Has anyone got any vaseline?”"

Leicester de Montford’s Shahid Sheikh writes:
“Wherever I may be, I am always flying the flag for Round Table and wearing the badge with pride which if you look closely you will see pinned into my Tie. Picture 1 was taken in Jinja where I was amazed to see this sign at a crossing in the middle of the road. Myself and Ash visited this same spot in 2007 and had pictures taken both wearing our RT Polo Shirts.

Men's final
In July Derby Merlin again hosted an extremely successful and fun day of rowing and pulling. Last year’s winners – Long Eaton – did not even make the final of the rowing this year, as the sporting might of Hucknall Round Table pulled off a double by taking both the Area Tug of War trophy and the Rowing title. The event also hosted the ladies of Circle in their own rowing competition.
Fourteen teams from eight tables were entered in the river event: Ashbourne, Beeston, Belper, Derby Merlin, Hucknall, Long Eaton, Swadlincote and West Bridgeford. Hucknall “A” won the final race, with Swadlincote “A” team hot on their tails. Ashbourne “A” and “B” battled out third and fourth places respectively.
