ALDERSHOT Town Football Club are joining Aspire Defence Services in a bid to make history this month – all in aid of Children in Need.

Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre will host an official Guinness World Record attempt from noon on Thursday, November 16 for Most Electrical Energy Produced by Pedalling on Static Bicycles for 24 Hours.

Manager Gary Waddock, plus his players and all of the club’s office staff will be involved in the attempt at a target of 72,000 watts.

The event is open to anyone over the age of 16 and any support will help raise money for Children in Need.

Volunteers will have the chance to ride one of 40 bikes used by British Cycling. The bikes have console displays recording the wattage being generated and scrutineers will be on hand to verify a record.

A DJ will provide musical inspiration and sports massages will be available to soothe aching legs – in return for a donation to Children in Need.

Slots of a minimum of 30 minutes are available to help break the record. Interested supporters should contact Mike Barnett via [email protected] or call 01252 347724 or 0845 129 3153. Volunteers will then receive a sponsorship form, with visitors also able to donate at the Sports Centre on the day.
