Molly and Patrick’s schools – Upminster Infants and Upminster Juniors – did us proud for our first real fund raising event this summer. A coffee morning, organised for us at the school, by the PTA, raised a staggering £700 in just over an hour. Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who baked so many delicious cakes, put on the raffle and served tea and coffee – not to mention all those who gave up their time to come down and support us. For our next trick, watch out for Iain grinding the pedals on a turbo trainer outside Peleton & Co in Spitalfields Market on Friday 3rd July. And on Sunday 5th July, the Gurning Grimpeurs appear in full. Molly, Patrick and Maureen will be on hand with collection buckets as Jacqueline and Iain pedal their way to exhaustion in the Bentalls shopping centre in Kingston.
