September Challenge

Wife of former RABI Derbyshire chairman, Sarah Helliwell is completing 3 challenges in September in order to raise money for RABI.

On Saturday 11th September she will be completing 50km on foot. Plan A was to "run" it but I think "on foot" is a little more realistic!.

On Wednesday 15th she will swim 50 lengths of Bakewell pool and finally on Saturday 18th September will be cycling 50 miles.

That should total 150 "units" which equals the number of years that RABI (Royal Agriculltural Benevolent Institution) have been supporting the rural community.

If anyone would like to join Sarah in all or part of these "little episodes" they would be most welcome.

You can sponsor Sarah through Just Giving at http://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Helliwell.

Regional Officer, Milly Wastie made the journey to the Hope Show on Sunday 30 August to receive a cheque for £200 from Ian Randall, president of Hope Sheep Dog Trials and Agricultural Society. Plus another one for £150 from Hope Valley YFC.

Whiskey Tasting Evening

April 2010

The Derbyshire RABI dedicated an evening to exploring Scotland's greatest export – Whisky!

Balvenie Whisky took us on a tasting tour using some of the finest Scottish single malts to demonstrate the range and depth of flavour of 4 different bottles.

The evening helped a new audience to understand how RABI helps the farming community in their local area. There were a few rosy cheeks by the end of the evening!

    

Hope Valley YFC

January 2010

Hope Valley YFC held a farmhouse breakfast event to raise money for RABI. Members got involved providing a slap up breakfast for hungry peak district farmers and neighbours raising over £150.

Many thanks to you all for your support.
