Hi Everyone, as you may know I present a show on Radio Folkestone, one of our Presenters, Tim James is doing a charity bike ride from Germany back to the UK to raise funds for a few local charity’s, one of which is The Folkestone Rainbow Centre.

All the info is in the just giving link, if you are able to sponsor Tim to help him reach his target I know it’ll give him a great boost.

Thanks.

Tim James (Drive Time presenter) needs your help!

He’s currently on his bike doing a mammoth charity bike ride from Germany back to the UK.

He’s hoping to raise £2,500 to Support a variety of local charities incl: Dover Counselling, The Shed (Hythe), Folkestone Rainbow Centre, Folkestone Music and Radio Folkestone.

Tim has had the wind in his face for miles and is feeling pretty shattered, so a financial boost to his cause would give him a great boost also.

No matter how little, if you can spare a small donation it would really help Tim reach his target.

Please give the post a share.
Here’s the just giving link.

Well, didn’t we all do well!

Thank you to each and every one of you that bought a ticket, donated to the Grand Prize Draw, shared the event on Facebook & danced the night away.

We had top notch performances from Phil D on the decks to start the night,
Karen-Marie Brough - All I wanna do is sing kick off the live music in perfect form then The JASON LEIGH BAND rocked the stage with two outstanding sets.

Please do take the time to give their pages a like and a share. Don’t forget they all performed for free!

The event wouldn’t happen without them, also another major, very important part is the Venue, Leas Cliff Hall Folkestone Channel Suite were once again fully on board with their amazing team, I consider myself very fortunate to have the use of the Channel Suite, so obviously a huge thank you to them.

Thanks to my team on the day and behind the scenes, Keith Reynolds, Jack Reynolds, Katie Reynolds & Anthony Flisher.

Thanks to the stage sponsor Home Instead - Folkestone, Hythe & Ashford, our ticket sponsor and friends at JJ Taxis

I will be taking a few weeks off before I start on next years event.

Thank you all once again, you’re all amazing.
