Runcorn Linnets support Big Learner Relay for Children in Need

2 Nov 2018 By James Gordon

Runcorn Linnets had some unfamiliar but very welcome visitors this morning, when the Big Learner Relay for BBC Children in Need stopped off at The Millbank Linnets Stadium.

They are conducting a two-week, 3,000-mile nationwide relay consisting of driving lessons by qualified instructors, raising money for CiN, and used our car park as a handover point.

A fleet of about 15 cars made the stadium pit stop on day one of their marathon, which will culminate in a circuit of Silverstone race track on Children in Need Day itself - Friday, November 16th.

We will be holding a collection at tomorrow's EVO-STIK League West Division home game against Leek Town (ko 3pm) in support of The Big Learner Relay.

A club spokesman said: "We were very pleased to offer the Relay team use of our facilities as they embark on their long journey and wish them the all the very best with their fundraising!."
