Developed from an initial suggestion by Luke Hammond (Purford Green), School Games Organiser David Stacey, applied for and acquired funding from Active Essex via a Travel Grant and Environmental Festival Grant to purchase brand new bikes, helmets and storage. This enabled the HDPSSA to add new Cycling Festivals to an already jam-packed sports calendar.
Round Two of the Cycling Festivals, saw a change of venue as the cyclists’ rode their way around a series of activities at the Harlow Town CC. This time the grass proved a far more limiting factor and the vast expanse made it possible for the children to really develop their cycling stamina. 6 teams of 6 pupils took part in relay races, balance box games and a long endurance ride. Time was provided for the teams to design their own activity for others to use in future events. Thanks were given to the pupils and school staff of Holy Cross, Potter Street, Purford Green, St Albans and St Lukes for making the event such fun.
