FIRST SKY DIVES

Almost immediately after the end of the Improthon, our first The Sky's the Limit Sky Divers were in the air. Heather Rushforth, Darcy Ball and Richard Allsopp took off over Oxford and gracefully descended as the sun began to set - and all to raise money for Riding Lights. Many thanks to the three of you.



There's more sky diving today as RL Stage Manager Rob Gooch and loyal member, Angela Smith, make their way into the Oxfordshire skies.....and then down again!

They did it!!

Our last team of improvisers - some of whom had been here for the full 24 hours, some of whom had been here for many, many of the 24 hours brought the Improthon to a triumphant conclusion at 5pm today.


Somewhat crazed by the experience, a few of them couldn't quite grasp the fact that they could re-enter the real world again and didn't have to keep making things up.

They'll be ready for a rest now and our thanks go out to them for entertaining themselves (and us) for this marathon of improvisation which kept us laughing right up to the end, helping to raise even more money for The Sky's the Limit.

As we sign off from the Improthon, our first sky jumpers are about to take off over Oxford...

The Sky's the Limit - Fundraising Update

Buy Rob Gooch a parachute! Our stage manager Rob is going to be jumping out of an aeroplane on Saturday 12th September. As yet, he can’t afford to buy a parachute. Help him out by donating to his parachute fund HERE. He’d much prefer it if he had one come September, so be generous.


Snowy and Desmond perform at the top of mountains with Paul Burbridge and Kelvin Goodspeed. Long standing Riding Lights performers Snowy and Desmond will be reaching new heights with old sketches. Being quite small, this will be hard work for our favourite puppets, so make sure you encourage them by sponsoring generously HERE.


Riding Lights Youth Theatre fancy dress sponsored bike ride! Sally Maddison will be leading her adventurous Youth Theatre dressed in silly clothes 27 miles on the Tissington Trail in Ashbourne. She admits she’s never been able to finish this track herself, having tried it three times, so we’re hoping RLYT will help Sally to beat her record of ‘half way round’. You can sponsor the Youth Theatre HERE.
