Lloyds TSB Conference

19 April 2013

Lloyds TSB organised a seminar with Adam Henson on Friday 19th April for professionals and customers. During the event there were speakers from Lloyds who advised on financial issues, followed by an enlightening talk from Adam himself.

This was a very interesting event which also raised over £200 for R.A.B.I.

Right Answer for Gloucestershire Quiz Night

March 2013

Gloucestershire R.A.B.I. committee members proved they really did have the right answer in hosting a quiz night in March which raised funds for the farming charity.

Well over 90 people attended the evening, held at Eastington Community centre, raising over £1500 for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution. The total funds raised came from a combination of entry fees and a silent auction, which included lots such as an equine behaviour training lesson from committee member Sheila Reed to driving lessons, a car wash and 10 acres of Maize drilling.

The committee are very grateful to both individuals and businesses who were able to support the evening and look forward very much to seeing everyone again at the next event – the Gloucestershire Midsummer Farm Walk at the Boddington Estate on 21st June.
