Fun, sweat and cheers

A SUCCESSFUL spinathon at Pocklington's Francis Scaife Sports Centre raised £200 for charity.
The Spinathon was in aid of the NSPCC Big Bike Ride. Spinning is an exercise programme where people use stationary exercise bikes and go through a series of routines.
Michael Murray, duty manager at the centre, said: "The day was full of fun, sweat and cheers.
"A special mention goes to all the instructors that provided energetic and fun sessions throughout the day, especially Ged McTernan who delivered four hours of classes."
More than 60 people were involved in the classes, with some people spinning for up to three hours consecutively.
Eight sites across the East Riding held different cycling-based events and will present their donation to the NSPCC on 18 July.
Katie Bland, corporate fund-raising manager for the NSPCC, said: "We're really pleased the council has given us their backing for static bike challenges in the region because it's been an opportunity for people to have fun, keep fit and at the same time help the NSPCC carry out the work it undertakes providing local services."
