Summer Outing to Whipsnade Wildlife Park
On 13 July we enjoyed a
member's family day out at Whipsnade Wildlife Park.
We were blessed with a lovely dry day to explore the wild life
park with 
too
much to see and do, the children were all tired out on the way
home.
Birch Copse School Fete
In June, Greyfriars Branch sponsored the Birch Copse School
Fete, which provided lots of family fun and games, successfully
raising over £3,500. This money will be used to improve
facilities for the children at the school.
Malvern Spring Show - 11 May 2008
22 people attended this event on a Glorious Sunny
Day. We
arrived just after 10 am and spent 7 hours exploring this show –
plenty of plants were loaded onto the coach for the return journey,
it was an enjoyable if tiring day. But there was plenty of paces to
sit and eat & drink.
Branch Charity Success
We have ended the year with
a donation to the local Muscular Dystrophy Group of £1,100. This
means that over the 2 years we have supported the group they have
received £3,100. Well done to all of you who have helped us
to raise this money for such a worthy cause.
One of the fundraisers was the Quiz and I am
please to say there was one outright winner - well done, Mrs Loader
- a local member who received the £50.00 prize.
