YAY!

We are nearly halfway there with the fundraising! If you check out our Justgiving page we are now up to the grand total of £5671!

This is largely in part due to the fact that last night Caz held a hugely successful race night. Over 40 people attended, were plied with an excellent feast of bangers and mash, before settling in to place their bets on the horses! Thank so much to everyone who came / helped / contributed etc, as the evening was a huge success raising over £800! (and I think it is fair to say that a good time was had by all....!)

OK, a few up coming events for you. Don't forget that this Easter weekend Olive is holding three events, her auction, a Laser-quest day, and a Cuban evening (see poster above for details.)

JUNE 21st sees Ruth's 'Formal Dinner and Auction' take place at The Bath Arms in Horningsham. (www.batharms.co.uk) This lovely restaurant is very kindly donating a room, and this promises to be a very special evening. The ticket price of £30 will include a superb 3 course dinner and welcome drink in a great atmosphere, and the dinner will be followed by an auction of promises and items! If anyone wishes to purchase tickets please get in touch with Ruth, and also I am still hunting down more Auction prizes so if any of you have any talents or items you could donate all offers greatly appreciated!

We have our £50 prize crossword available still and the draw for the winner will take place on the 31st July. Again, please contact Ruth if you haven't received a copy and would like one!

Ruth and Alison are also collecting old mobile phones (complete with charger and battery but not Sim card) to recycle towards to women for women pot!

Don't forget, we are ALWAYS open to sponsorship, so if you haven't done so yet, please go to www.justgiving.com/fundraisingfemales and pledge your donation. Also please don't forget to tell your friends and family about us and what we are doing, and see if they would like to take part in the crossword, give a donation, or even organise a fundraising event on our behalf. We are so grateful to everyone for all your support.

Lastly, please wish us luck - we are planning to take part in a 37 mile cycle ride through the surrey hills (yikes - more hills!) on 11th May. Watch this space for how we get on!
