Please bear with us. Whilst we cant compare with the recent chaos at airports and shops that the Microsoft outage caused, we are certainly feeling the knock on effect. We have been experiencing issues with our customer log in and also our admin site. So we have our amazing IT working on this and hope to be back to our ultra efficient selves soon 😄🤞 Serious About Events

A massive thank you to all for your amazing support. The final tally has been completed and the total raised from my Ford Ride London 2024 100miles together with hubby Simon was £14,585.00 for Cancer Research UK

Throughout the 103 miles and 7hrs 15 mins with thunderstorms, lightening and strong winds, recalling all the wonderful conversations I have had about your stories and battles really helped me though the miles and kept those wheels turning.

The grand total for 20 years of fundraising now stands at a whopping £152,909.45 and I am already thinking about the next challenge.

Thank you and together we can and WILL make a difference.

Rachel Hosking and her husband, Simon, took part in the Race 100, one of the London 2012 legacy events that involves cycling 100 miles in just nine hours.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY: One of our Serious About Events fav performers, Roy G Hemmings is performing his amazing The Hits of Motown Show on Saturday 29th June in Torquay.

Anyone who has seen Roy perform for us at Weston will know what an awesome singer he is. As one of the longest members of the Drifters, a career spanning 4 decades and has even performed for the American president (twice) Roy is the ultimate showman and performer. So please share the soul and motown love and this post! Enjoy the show! Babbacombe Theatre
