The theme was Fairytales and Fables and was raising money for Wanborough Primary School PTA and Brighter Futures (50% each).
We were thrilled to see so many families out and about in Wanborough.
The final calculations have been made and we are very pleased to announce that the total amount raised is
£2,620!
so £1,310 will be donated to each of our two charities. Here are some members of the organising team making the presentation to Brighter Futures at GWH.This year we sold 611 trail sheets. Multiplying this to account for groups and families, at least 2000 people took part!
We would like to thank everyone who has made or hosted a scarecrow; we really appreciate your support. Also big thanks to all the helpers who sold trail sheets and refreshments at the Village Hall and Wanborough School, over the three weekends.
The pubs in the High Street also supported us with trail sheet sales.
The Plough Inn (www.theplough.info)
The Harrow Inn (www.harrowinnswindon.co.uk)
and The Brewers Arms (www.brewers-arms.co.uk)
We would also like to thank all our sponsors who have kindly agreed to cover the cost of all our prizes, which means all the money raised for the event will go to our two charities.
Out of all the trail sheets that were returned, there were only 4 who got all the answers correct!
The four were all put into a draw and Wanborough Beavers chose the first 3 at their meeting on Tuesday evening.
