A perfect setting, blue skies lots of sunshine, plenty of shade, where supporters, sponsors, friends old and new gathered together for a very pleasant relaxing afternoon.

The Deputy Mayor and Mayoress of North Warwickshire, Cllr.Gordon Sherratt and Mrs Marina Sherratt were in attendance from lunch onwards.

Following a delicious lunch of Indian and English food, Martin Church entertained us as an auctioneer, selling off 4 items making a total of £245. Thank you Martin for a splendid effort.

A raffle raised the sum of £176. Thank you Viv for selling tickets. We are grateful to all who gave the prizes, making this effort such a success.

Name the Doll – raised £57.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the fun and supported our worthwhile cause, in particular those who donated gifts for the auction, the Raffle and the Doll.

A special thank you to Barbara and John Fellows, Barbara McCoy and helpers at the Corley end who worked tirelessly in the background to make it such a great success. For Usha and her friends who provided the Indian food.

I am delighted to report that we raised £1,918.25 for Heal. In addition the treasurer will be able to claim a further £230 by way of tax rebate from the donations where a Gift Aid declaration is held.

Abbots Hall Primary School, Stowmarket
Suffolk Fundraising Event For HEAL – 9th of October 2002

Children collected money for HEAL following our two Key Stage assemblies on the 9th October

As an introduction by two pupils spoke about the history of the Charity HEAL and the Children’s Village in Guntur India.

Year 4 children aged between 7 & 8 years held up several photographs showing the Village, groups of children and the School, enabling their parents to be aware of our Appeal.

We have also launched a new appeal – which is called “Healing India CD’s

The TOTAL raised so far is just over £205.00

Thank You Abbots Hall

The money raised Vijaylakshmi in India is happy to tell us that they are going to buy three Casio keyboards and two guitars. They will be basic ones meant for learners.

Please tell the children in your school that it was a lovely gesture on their part and the children will be thrilled.
