Gerry Wildy, 38, is embarking on a one-day fundraising bike ride on Saturday, October 4, in an attempt to raise at least £2,500 to take part in an Arctic Challenge, in aid of Severn Sounds Money Mountain. In February 2009, Gerry will be enduring -30c temperatures as part of a 14-strong team, learning survival techniques such as building a shelter, ice-fishing and cooking on an open fire. First, however, he has arranged to cycle with three others from his farm in Slimbridge, via Leominster, to the Cadbury factory in Bournville where the milk from his farm is used in the production of Cadbury chocolate. Gerry says, "I have chosen this route as our farm supplies milk to Cadburys. Its the way the tanker goes once leaving our farm to the factory. "Cadburys have been really supportive of me doing this and have very kindly agreed to match the amount we raise. They will also be supplying chocolate to all the challengers when we do the challenge, which is greatly appreciated." Will Nunan, Severn Sound's charity manager, said: "The Arctic challenge is unique and a first for Money Mountain. In return for their fundraising efforts its our hope the participants will have a once in a lifetime experience."

ON THE back of the success of director Paul Andrew William's first film London to Brighton (2006), which won several awards including Best New Director at the Edinburgh Film festival, comes a very different offering. SET in the early 1980s this film is based on the true story of hard drinking womaniser Charlie Wilson, who also had a penchant for coke. He was the liberal Democrat congressman from Texas said to have been totally responsible for organising the biggest undercover operation in the history of the United States. This involved supplying the Afghan Mujahideen with arms during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, the success of which unfortunately was the beginning of a very tricky future for the Afghan nation.
