At the end of 2016 Charles Hampden-Smith organised a fundraising party for stem4 which included an auction item of 4 hours 43 mins of Charles’ time for doing some domestic manual work. Simon Bodle very generously bid £250 for the item but instead of getting Charles to do some painting or grass cutting, etc, he insisted that the ‘work’ should comprise going for a bike ride and drinking some of Simon’s excellent homebrew beer afterwards! So a date was set for Sunday 21st June and a 50-mile route out to Windsor and back was planned, with coffee and cake at the turning point. Simon and Charles were joined by a few other friends for the ride and a great time was had by all, raising a further £156.25 for stem4 on the day. Rumours that the team all staggered home afterwards are unconfirmed!
