Dear all,

Thank you for attending and making the Race Afternoon Fundraiser at Upchurch Village Hall so much fun and such a success.

I would like to thank all those who gave their time, contributed cakes and sponsored/donated to some of the races.

Also, a big thank you to the local businesses who sponsored us:

I am pleased to say that, after deducting the hall costs, we raised the terrific sum of £710.15

This will be added to our running total towards the St Mary's Bell Tower Restoration Fund.

Don't forget to book your table (up to 8 per table) for our Quiz Night on Friday the 11th of November, our next fundraiser for the Bell Tower.
