Dear
All - Update 20 June 2012, Thank
you very much to those of you who joined us at our first Smithers’ Tea
Party – we hope you had a nice time! Together we raised £575
to add to the £1,396 raised at the spring party and bake sale in
April. That brings the total
raised for the Ups Club so far this year to £1,971. We are
having a bit of a rest from fundraising whilst the Mini-Olympics is going on,
but are planning a raffle, cocktail evening and Christmas Shopping Fayre for
later in the year, so we’ll be in touch with the details. You can also keep updated with
fundraising activity via our website: http://theupsclub.co.uk/fundraising2012/fundraising2012.htm |

Dear All,
The Ups
Club is now in its 50th anniversary year.
On
Thursday 31st
of May from 4pm we will
be holding our first annual RMH & ICR village fête – the Smithers Tea Party,
at the Ups Club. This event is name after the first President of the Ups Club, Prof.
Sir David Waldron Smithers, to celebrate our 50th year in
existence, being founded in February
1963.
There
will be plenty of fun for all the family, with games (including egg and spoon
races, stalls and (hopefully) ‘sponge the supervisor’),
Pimm’s, local produce stalls and hot food, ice-cream and (of course) tea
available.
We will
also be holding our first ICR & RMH Bake Off with three winning categories
– appearance, taste and overall winner – if you are interested in
entering the competition or in being a judge, please email Barbara.Harrington@rmh.nhs.uk.
There
will also be a selection of stalls in the hall and as such I am asking those of
you who run clubs whether you would like to have some leaflets available for a
sports club stall? If enough people would like this I will arrange for a stall
to be set up to this effect. In the meantime I will be (finally!) revamping the
noticeboard in the Ups Club so could I please ask each of you who runs a club
to provide me with a new poster? I will leave a folder up on the noticeboard
for you to deposit new posters from this evening. If you would like to provide
info on your particular club at the Smithers Tea Party then please contact me
directly so that I can organise this by Monday
28th May. Likewise if you know of anyone I have inadvertently missed off
this list please feel free to forward this email onwards.
