Staff and customers at Cotswold Leisure will be taking to their bikes and the water to raise money for Red Nose Day this year.

Leisure Centres at Bourton and Cirencester are vying to be top dogs in the fund-raising stakes as they both stage marathon charity rides on exercise bikes (one for staff and one for customers) on Friday 18th March. Volunteers will be asked to ride for 20 minute stints in an effort to keep the bikes going continuously from 9 am to 6 pm. Regular users of their gyms have already been alerted and quite a few have already signed up for the marathon events.
