Romsey Show

Once again RABI was given a free pitch at this show in the Countryside area. The bucket collection on the gate raised £372.60. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.

Alresford Show

3 September 2011

Another great show at Alresford with a free pitch kindly donated by the show organisers. A rocking sheep raffle drew a lot of attention. This went on to the Romsey Show where the it was drawn.

Cream Tea and Farm Walk

August 2011

On a damp August evening Norma Morris and the Hampshire committee held a walk across Norma's farm followed by a cream tea. Despite the weather it was well attended and raised nearly £420.

New Forest Show

July 2011

The Massey Ferguson pedal tractor proved to be a considerable attraction on the stand at the New Forest Show. Thanks to the Show Society, RABI has been granted a free pitch for as long as we wish to attend the annual three-day show. The tractor raffle and Christmas card sales raised over £500.

Cycling Through the Forest

July 2011

The first New Forest bike ride, organised by Jane and Andrew Tasker and family with the Hampshire RABI committee attracted 25 cyclists. The family event followed a 25-mile route through the forest ending with an excellent buffet lunch provided by committee member Norma Morris. The successful day rasied £500 and is likely to be repeated.
