Woodgate Valley Open Day

So Mike, Ali, Lynda, Lynne and I had a great time at Woodgate last Sunday. The weather was glorious, our new banner was unfurled and the business cards were unleashed. More importantly, 190 balloons were filled with helium (mainly by Mike!) and released by the variety of interested families and individuals. Each balloon had business cards and names attached to them (by Lynda and Lynne), and Ali managed the administration of it all magnificently. I am unsure quite what I contributed other than sunscreen and going on tea runs.

We raised £125.14, which was a great total, and we are so grateful for all of the voluntary contributions. This was a great test for the ideas raised by the new fundraising committee. Moreover, the day went really well for Woodgate Farm and we really feel we are building a good relationship with this excellent, a voluntary organisation (based on Alan's hard work).




Our next fund raising event will be our "Walk a mile" initiative in July. Watch this space!!
