Saddington Boot Fair – Leicestershire April – October 2009

We have been extremely fortunate this boot fair season to be allowed to collect every week at one of the midlands busiest and biggest boot fairs.  These are held every Sunday from April – October (weather permitting).  To date we have collected £2448.40.  This fantastic figure has enabled us to help lots of children and their families over the summer holidays with family day trips and emergency care items.  We will announce the final figure collected over the season in October 2009.

Adidas Women’s 5K Challenge – 5th September 2009 - Hyde Park London

I met Diane Stedman earlier in the year when I was at a supermarket collection; she kindly offered to raise money for Hopscotch through the Adidas Women’s 5K Challenge that she had registered for.  The run is the biggest women’s fun run in the country and is dedicated to raising money for charity. 

Diane had a fantastic day running with her daughter and completed the run in 31mins and 55 seconds which she was thrilled with, she is now collecting all the sponsorship money she managed to raise and we will be able to announce here total very soon. 

Race Night – 17th July 2009 - Jug & Jester - Leamington Spa

What a fantastic night.  With 40 people cheering and urging their horses over the finish line we all had a great fun night.  The night raised £500 and was also supported by some local businesses by way of race sponsorships or raffle prizes.   We are looking forward to organising our next race night and a November 2009 date should be announced shortly.
