Here is the roundup of our news from April. It’s been a very busy month, we hope you are getting as excited as us at seeing things start to come together.
There are a few updates to look for on the website this week. The Fundraising page has now been updated with details on how to create your own Just Giving page linked to Inspired Living. There is also a sponsorship form that can be printed out if you prefer to collect money in person.
The members only area now has updated nutrition information, including links to the extra information recommended at the nutrition session. If you are a regular participant please follow the instructions on the Cycle Project page to request an ID.
Don’t forget our next Cardio session is being held on the 9th May, however, the next Nutrition session is on the 23rd May.
We are holding a Gala Dinner on 19th June and are looking for any items that we could raffle or auction off on the night.
For the raffle we are looking for quality items (please no tins of baked beans!). If you have anything suitable that you are willing to donate please let us know.
For the auction, we would love some really special ‘money can’t buy’ lots – if you have any useful contacts that may be able to provide something a bit special that would be fantastic.
Please contact Barbara (barbara@inspiredliving.org.uk) if you can help.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel this Sunday’s Cardio Session as Lt Cdr Chic Stewart is unable to make it. We have also decided to postpone the nutrition talk on hydration to the next session as well. The next cardio session will be on 9th May, full details are on the Events page.

The 2010 IoW Randonnee will take place on Sunday 2nd May. The ride will be in a clockwise direction and there will be a choice of 100km and 55km rides. Event starts at 9am and finishes at 6pm. There is no entry fee, but online registration in advance is encouraged.
Though this would not be an organised Inspired Living ride it would be a great opportunity for a longer ride and to see some different scenery. A round trip from Chandlers Ford would be about 80 miles for the long route round the island, or about 50 miles for the island short route.
Some of the Continental riders have expressed interest in using this as a training ride. If anyone is interested in joining us please contact Andy Brown .
There will be a social ride as advertised this Sunday. Meeting at the Hursley Clubhouse ready for a 10am departure. If you have not attended one of our training events before please arrive at least 10mins early to register.
There are now gps files and maps of the planned routes available from the events page.
One of our Supporters, Anne, is doing her own cycle ride in a few weeks time as she is unable to join us in September. As she is a great friend of Tim Frank, all the money she raises will be going to CRUK as part of the Inspired Living efforts – please read her story on her fundraising page and support her if you can.
Eastleigh College are looking for some volunteers to act as clients for their current massage students. They need 8 people who can attend the college on a Tuesday afternoon at 2.30pm, for 4 weeks starting on Tues 20th April.
If you are interested in getting a free massage for the next 4 weeks, or if you would like to get further details before committing, then please send an email to Barbara (barbara@inspiredliving.org.uk). She needs to let the college know the names of the volunteers in advance.
Happy Easter to all our supporters. I hope we get some good weather to encourage us all outside to work off our chocolate indulgences.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website Events page for upcoming training sessions and fundraising events. In the next few weeks we have a cardio session on Sunday 11th April, and a cycle ride on Sunday 18th April. Full details can be found on our events page.
