For this year’s PLASA, TPi’s Editor Stew Hume and PSA’s Andy Lenthall
have opted to travel down to London via an alternative mode of
transport. Rather than catching a Virgin Train or
jumping into a car, the pair will opt for two wheels,
tackling the 200-mile cycle, all in the name of the
PSA’s welfare and benevolent fund, Stagehand.
The ride will begin on Friday 13 September from
TPi’s offices in Stockport and – if all goes to plan – will
roll into London on the Saturday prior to the show
opening.
With the ride taking them over the Peak District,
through Rugby, Northampton and all the way to
London’s Olympia, the duo hopes to complete the
ride in two days, with an open invitation to any fellow
cyclists from the industr y to join them at any pointalong the route. The effort is all in aid of Stagehand – the original Live
Production Welfare fund, founded by the PSA, which this year is celebrating
its 21st anniversar y.
Stagehand was set up to aid current and past
PSA members and their families who fall on hard
times when unable to work due to illness or injur y.
The charity pays small grants for specific expenses to
qualifying claimants. Stagehand has also focused over
the past few years to work proactively to improve our
industry’s approach to mental health.
Both TPi and the PSA appreciate any donation
that members of the industr y are able to contribute.
If all goes well, they’ll see you at PLASA...
