Farmhouse Breakfasts in Kent

January 2012

The Kent committee excelled themselves again this year arranging no less than seven farmhouse breakfast events across the county.

Guests pictured below are enjoying a full English at the Dirty Habit in Hollingbourne.

Ashford Fatstock Show

5 & 6 December 2011

RABI was chosen by President of Ashford Fatstock Show, John Coultrip to be charity of the show. The charity benefited from the proceeds of the dinner and a whiskey raffle, raising £2,500 from the evening.

Harvest Supper

15 October 2011

A major occasion in the Kent calendar the Harvest Supper at Ashford Market was attended by about 170 people. With a tombola, whiskey raffle and Christmas cards on sale and auction which followed the excellent roast beef supper the evening made £4,500.

A big thank you to David Chantler, his family and all the Kent committee.

Weald of Kent and East Kent Ploughing Matches

September 2011

Both events were attended by RABI Kent committee members, with Anglea Hurst holding a hamper raffle. Christmas cards were also on sale but the lovely weather did not have people thinking of Christmas!

Shooting Clays in Kent

July 2011

The clay pigeon shoot organised by Edenbridge and Sevenoaks NFU was very well attended with strong competition among the 22 participating teams. Held at Henden Manor, Ide Hill thanks to Mr & Mrs Lovegrove, it was won by the Goddington team with an excellent score and raised over £2,000 for RABI.

Wet Day by the Lake in Kent

July 2011

Despite appalling weather, 90 people turned up for what has become an annual hog roast, nature trail and fly fishing day at Goddington Lake, organised by David and Andree Chantler, with the Kent committee.

Notwithstanding the conditions, with a silent auction, raffle and cake and plant sale, the event raised more than £1,240.

Team Karting Racing

25 June 2011

The annual karting event took place on the 25th June at the Bayford Meadow track, Sittingbourne.

We were blessed with fine weather, which helped bring out a good number of spectators. 13 teams took part, 3 less than last year. We had some great fun racing, with the lead swapping on a number of times.

For the second year running the Wreathall brothers ‘Appledore Turkeys’ Team won the event. This year the ‘Rochester Formula 1 Farmers’ ran them a close second place. £100 was raised for RABI.
