Many thanks to everyone who helped out on our stall at this year’s carnival. We raised a total of £76.50, which was slightly more than last year. We had several games on the stall, including a Lucky Dip, Name the Teddy Bear, Tour De France Sweepstake tickets and a Treasure Hunt Map, but the Tombola proved to be by far the most popular attraction. We also had several enquiries from potential new members who asked for details of the club, so it all helps.
Everyone looked great in their club t-shirts (with a special mention to Joy and Mark who dressed well for the occasion!)
Photos of the day are in our club photo album.
Well done and many thanks to you all for your help. At least the weather stayed dry this year!
