Recent events

Paul and Kay's Bognor 10k

On Sunday 16th May Paul and Kay Attwell ran the Bognor 10k road race in aid of YEA. If we raise money using the sponsor form given to us by the organisers, and send them the money we have been given by the end of July, they send it all back to us by the middle of August with another 20% added. This is in addition to the gift aid that we can claim back if sponsors have signed a form or the sponsor sheet. If you were thinking of giving any money to YEA this year, this is a very efficient way of giving with not too much extra effort from you. You can e-mail us with your offered donation and we can fill in the form on your behalf and you can send us a cheque or give us cash by July. If any of this doesn't make sense, or if you'd like to help, please contact us - kay.attwell@youthworx-ea.org.uk

Paul ran in 48mins 49secs - a personal best. Kay ran in 1 hour 32 seconds, a little slower than last year - a very windy day again - will try to do better next year!!

Last Year in the sun and wind

Pancake Day Fundraiser - Tuesday 16th February.
There were craft and games for primary school aged children from 4.30pm and pancakes for all at 5.30pm.

We raised about £90 for Youthworx.
Thanks to all who helped or came.

Cheese and Wine and Breton Dancing

Harvest Supper

On Saturday 19th September at the Opengate Church, Bognor Regis a harvest meal was enjoyed by all.

Thanks to all that came!

The First Annual Brecon Canal Walk

This involved either 9 miles or 20 miles depending on whether you walked for both days or not.

This was a much enjoyed weekend with good walking weather. Use was made of Ken and Glenys's B&B facilities (see above if you wish to try this for yourself)

Some other past events...

'Pampered Chef'

An evening of demonstrations of cooking gadgets and some social time in November 08, raised funds for the general work of YEA.

A New Vehicle for 2008!

Thanks very much to all of you who bought stars or vouchers towards a new vehicle over the Christmas period. Including gift-aid we can reclaim we raised over £300. Added to other gifts we had £1400 at the end of February.

We were given first-refusal on a Land rover discovery, which Silver's family shipped out and were given all the funding needed to buy it. It is now on the road and relieving the pressure on the 'bus'! Transport will always be an on-going expense for the work of YEA and we would love to begin to have monthly sponsors for vehicle costs. Talk to us if this is something you'd like to help with.
