Hope Valley YFC

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.

Taddington School

November 2009

Taddington School welcomed Milly Wastie back to their school to receive a cheque for £70 for Welly Week.

They held a welly walk to the farming life centre in the neighbouring village of Blackwell. Whilst there, the children had fun with paint and wellies making colourful collages and drawings. Later that day they held their annual harvest festival service and sold the produce, raising £70 for RABI.

Flagg nursery school (the neighbouring school) also took part in welly week activities this year. The infants harvested their carrots and made soup for friends and family raising an additional £17 for RABI

Taddington School

October 2009

Taddington School had a fun morning at the Buxton Farm Life Centre as part of their welly week activities.  With a welly walk to the centre they then made a welly collage by dipping their wellies in paint and walking across the paper.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and they will be getting involved with other activities later in the week.

       

       

Brailsford Ploughing Match

September 2009

The Derbyshire YFC helped support welly week at the Brailsford Ploughing Match by doing a guess the number of lollies in a welly.

It certainly raised some interest in welly week, which is becoming a major feature of the YFC calendar. Excellent news for RABI.
