Cyclists are being sought to participate in a sponsored bike ride raising funds to save the former Southwold Hospital site for community use.

Chairman of the Save Our Southwold (Hospital) campaign, Laurence Vulliamy, said: 'We still have to raise £4,000 for the feasibility study, so what better way to help the campaign than to ride around beautiful, local country lanes.' The ride will take place on October 16 from 1.30pm at Southwold Common.

Sponsorship forms can be obtained by visiting Barbrooks store, Chapmans, Clancy's, the Two Magpies Bakery, SPOTs and Cornucoppia, or by visiting www.sosa.help
