Sunday 9th January 2011
A local Scout group is appealing for help in raising enough money to enable a delegation of young local people to travel to Ontario, Canada for an adventure of a lifetime. It will be the third time in 11 years the 1st Calow Scout group has undertaken such a venture.
£25,000 is needed to make sure the trip goes ahead, and the youngsters have been raising the cash for 18 months in various fundraising events - all organised by the scouts, their families and friends.
The next major event is a 'Race Night' to be held at Calow Community Centre on Saturday 22nd January 2011.
This event is open to the public with ticket prices set at £5.00, which includes a Pie and Pea Supper and there will be a fully licensed bar on the night. The night will be made up of 7 races for which horses can be bought in advance (@£7.00), plus one 'Auction' race for which the horses can only be bid for on the night. The winning 'owners' will receive a small prize, presented by the respective sponsor of that particular race.
Anyone who would like to buy a horse, or a ticket - or any businesses wishing to sponsor a race - can find out more about the evening by going to the fundraising page on the website http://calowscouts.org.uk.
