  2. Five Brave Men Get Waxed This Weekend!

    February 3, 2012

    Luke Adams, Carl Tinsley, Michael Chapman, Chris Cope and Glenn Powell are putting on a brave face tomorrow evening (Friday), when they take place in a charity Waxing Event taking place at the River Parrett Inn, Bridgwater.

    The event, which was an idea that came together one Friday evening, is raising funds for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and the British Forces Association.

    Luke, landlord of the River Parrett and one of the brave men being waxed, is looking forward to the night and said, “We are not nervous now at all, just really excited.  Anyone who attends on the night will be in for a fun packed evening.  We are all being waxed from the neck down.  People can come along on the night and buy a strip of wax for £3 and have a go.  We are hoping to raise as much as we can for these two great charities.” (more…)

  8. Get ‘on your bike’ in 2012 for Air Ambulance

    January 16, 2012

    We are encouraging our supporters to sign up early for our annual Coast to Coast (C2C) Cycle Challenge which takes place in May this year.

    The event, which is not designed as a race and involves cycling through some of Dorset and Somerset’s most beautiful countryside, takes place on Sunday 20th May 2012 and on-line registration is now open.

    There are two different cycling routes and distances available.  For those who like a challenge, the brilliant 54 mile cycle which starts in the Somerset port of Watchet at 11.00am and finishes at West Bay near Bridport will not disappoint.  For those that don’t want to cycle that far, there is a shorter 11 mile route which begins at Drimpton in Dorset at 2pm and also finishes at West Bay.
