ONE of the next major events in the Somerset Pavilion Appeal year calendar is the opportunity to join skipper Marcus Trescothick and the players on a west country tour as part ‘Pedal for the Pavilion’.
The event begins in St Austell, Cornwall, and over the course of five days the riders will travel up to Bath via Plymouth, Exeter and Yeovil before finishing in Taunton. The total distance of the pedal is approximately 300 miles and will give riders the chance to take in some of the most beautiful scenery the region has to offer.
For anyone wishing to be part of this spectacular event, entry costs £50 per person plus a minimum of £200 sponsorship per day. This price includes lunch, water and snacks and cyclists can choose to ride for one or more days.

The Somerset Pavilion Appeal was launched with one vital aim and that is to raise funds for a stunning new development which will take Somerset County Cricket Club to the next level both on and off the field.
The new facility will comprise high-quality covered seating behind the bowlers arm, alongside a large bar and entertainment area, high-quality corporate/media facilities and a magnificent roof top viewing area.
Work on the Somerset Pavilion will begin early next week and once completed the new building will bring the ground to the standard required to host international cricket.
