I bumped into Chris Armstrong outside the estate agents on the Pavement the other day, and I asked him how his bike ride had gone. He took part in the Hay to Timbuktu fund raising ride, and managed 24 miles in around two and a half hours. "It was over fairly flat going," he said, "around Eardisley." He raised around £150 - but he said the situation in Timbuktu is very serious, and the rebels have now taken over the city.
Also on the Pavement, I noticed a poster advertising a new Dial-a-Ride service. Just recently, they started running a shopping bus to the Co-op once a week - and now they're also running a shopping bus into Hay centre, organised by Plan B and funded by the Chamber of Commerce, on Friday mornings. Dial-a-Ride are also looking for more volunteers, as drivers or passenger assistants, and committee members. They can be reached on 01497 821616 or haydialaride@btconnect.com
