Our Open Day & West Berkshire Mencap donation

I must offer a huge thanks to my team for their efforts in setting up and running our open day to celebrate our 21 years in Newbury and our new signage and window box display.







 The fact that some kind soul deliberately set off our fire alarms in the morning, whilst we were trying to get ready and another kind soul, possibly the same one, pinched our little balloon display outside, to flag up our location, destined for our grandson later, did not spoil the day.
 though.


 
Well 13 turned out to be a lucky number, since that is the number of prizes donated that were drawn and will be passed on by post next week.

By way of thanks to the donors (bar one whose gift came on the day), I ran a continually looping PowerPoint from my i-Mac in the corner of one room, to provide some free advertising/ exposure for the Raffle Prize Donors , well over £1000 worth in all!

Last but by no means least, thanks to Chris Reeves from West Berkshire Mencap who was on hand to receive our own gift of £250 and to local photographer Mike Samuels for the following picture.
