Pub Quiz, Tuesday 14 May
As part of our campaign to raise funds to buy two radio beam trackers that would give 24/7 coverage of Centurion Way, and to have some fun, we are organising a Pub Quiz at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 14 May in the Rainbow Inn, St Paul’s Road. All are welcome but numbers are limited to 60, so please pay the entrance fee of £5 per head to one of the Friends in advance if you would like to take part.
Original Water Colour paintings of Centurion Way.
Local artist Lis Campling has kindly offered two original water colour paintings of Centurion Way entitled ‘Centurion Way in Summer’ and ‘The Railway Men’ for sale to help our fund raising efforts. These are priced at £75 each, including framing, and will be sold at auction on the Quiz night if not before. Don’t miss this unique opportunity! (copies attached)
Centurion Way Video
One of our members, Mark Record, has produced a video, taken as he cycles from Newlands Lane to the City Centre. This illustrates three aspects of this important foot and cycle path. First it provides a fast and direct way of getting from Parklands and other places to the West of Chichester to the city centre. Secondly it is wide enough for cyclists to share with pedestrians without inconveniencing either, and thirdly, this beautiful green corridor provides an important wildlife habitat. Find the video on our Web site.
