SUMMER AT ST LEONARD’S (INCORPORATING THE TEDDY ZIPLINE!)
A short video of this yeaar’s event by Geoff Buxton Dean
This teddy-tastic event was back on 4th July, with a new name, and a few last minute changes due to unforeseen happenings! … and raising an amazing £1000.00 for our lovely church!
Summer event in July 2024…
The wind blew but the rain stayed away for our afternoon of fun. A big thank you to everyone who supported the event in any way.
My sincere thanks to Caroline, Patrick, Dotty, Sarah and Neil for helping with the teddy zip wire, harnessing bears, monkeys, lambs, frogs, penguins, giraffes, Spiderman, a unicorn, sheep, cat and even a flamingo – over 40 in all and each receiving their own certificate of bravery which had been designed especially for us by Shez. My grateful thanks to Tori for making our faces look special with her talented facepainting. I loved my teddy bear face! Many thanks to our granddaughter, Livvie and her friend Megan for their kind donation having sold their beautifully and lovingly made bracelets.
Our donations and raffles raised the magnificent sum of £602.84 and after selling the rest of the flower “raffle” boxes at Breakfast in Church plus another donation, the total amount raised is now standing at £642.84! all of which will help towards the costs of roof repairs for our beautiful church of St Leonard.
David Wareing won the 🌼 draw with Crocus as the winning flower: a great, fun afternoon, which was so very well supported. It was absolutely heartwarming to see everyone enjoying themselves – the church was buzzing!
