David Wing is currently on a cycle tour of all 51 Cities in England to include each city cathedral and an EBU affiliated bridge club, whilst raising money for the Alzheimers Society.
"At 65 I wanted to do something crazy before the "Grim Reaper" gets me.
Thus the "City Cup" project evolved as a vehicle to achieve three things:-
1) A personal physical challenge - over 1000 miles of cycling
2) Involvement and promotion of our wonderful game
3) Support for the Alzheimers Society
Stage One of the City Cup project is underway. This involves a cycle tour
of all 51 Cities in England to include the City Cathedral and EBU affiliated
bridge club. (If successful, Stage 2 could be the 18 Cities of N.Ireland
Scotland and Wales).
A City Cup event will be held at every bridge club and a Cup presented
(as a gift from me) to the club. Each cup will be engraved with the name of the
City plus the Winners names and hopefully this can then become an annual
event.
Should the clubs (or indeed anyone) wish to donate to the Alzheimers
Society this can be done via the website: www.justgiving.com/citycup
At the time of writing, five events have taken place at Plymouth, Exeter, Truro, Bath, and Bristol - all have
been wonderful evenings and the charitable donations over-whelming - many thanks
to all those involved."
David will be updating EBU members via this blog over the coming weeks...
