Co-operative News – the voice of the co-op and mutual sectors August 14 2009 Jim Pettipher of Co-operative Futures in Gloucester, Dan Harris from
Oxford Cycle Workshop and Paul Rowlands of design agency Leadout will take part in the Great Lakeland Challenge in the Lake District on September 11th. The event will see hundreds of competitors canoe England’s longest lake, cycle the country’s steepest pass and conquer England’s highest peak in 12 hours. Now the team, which is raising money for childrens’ charity Wooden Spoon, is looking for a fourth member, with organisational skills and a driving licence. Said Mr Pettipher: “The Co-operative Movement is all about working together, and the Great Lakeland Challenge gives us an excellent opportunity to demonstrate this spirit of co-operation, while raising thousands of pounds for a good cause at the same time.”
