Team Megan are cycling from London to Paris in May to raise money for a very worthy cause - Arthritis Research UK . It is a charity close to the teams heart with Philip's daughter, Megan, being diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at just 9 years old.  The Team hope to cycle from London to Paris in 5 days - that's over 300 miles to cycle - and raise lots of money in the process for Arthritis Research UK, as well as raising the profile for a condition which is usually attributed with old age.  You can read the full story on their just giving website , where you are also able to make a donation too. We wish TEAM MEGAN the very best in their journey and we hope they reach their target of £7,000! GOOD LUCK TEAM MEGAN!

On Wednesday 30 th October head to the Monk Bar from 8pm as they have a great quiz and will be joined by Sweet Crumbs who will be there sell...
