Weekly Update

After last week's amazing effort, the funds are still rolling in. Raising a further £1,772, the total now stands at £23,799.24. 

Last week saw a team of volunteers collecting at the Regent Theatre. Thank you and well done goes out to all of our volunteers. They all had great fun with the visitors and managed to get a few interesting snaps...

The Manufacturing team, Paul Owen & Peter Gibson brought home £140, however they were beaten by Helen Moseley & James Morgan who collected more than £165, but thanks should also go to everyone who gave up their evenings to collect for the challenge.


This week we are holding a raffle on the factory for 1 days holiday & a variety of soft toys donated by Potteries Plating. We also have a team of volunteers at Tescos Trent Vale on Saturday 1st June selling the mugs. 

This weekend there is a night of music organised at the Leopard in Burslem on Saturday when Dave Whitehouse & his group will be performing, it's sure to be a great night so get yourselves down!

The big event thought will be the marketing teams climb of Scarfell Pike on Saturday - good luck to them all! 

Next weekend our Dining In marketing team we will be at Asda Wolstanton and Sue Chapman will be at Stone Festival selling the mugs.
Again, thank you all for your efforts this week.

Scarfell Pike Climb

On Saturday 1st June, sherpa Brian McMahon will be leading an intrepid team of marketeers, including Sharon Heap, Vanessa Carter, Kelly Barber, Sarah Dennis, Amanda Goodwin, Lois Humphrey & Sophie Davies on a climb up Scarfell Pike, the highest point in England & not an easy climb, to raise funds for Dougie Mac.

We know that everybody has been so generous over the last few week but this is an amazing challenge and we want to ask you all again to dig deep to support them.

Please sponsor either by filling in one of their sponsor forms or going to our Just
Giving Page at www.justgiving.com/DoingItForDougie

We all wish them every success with the challenge!

Live Music Night for Dougie Mac

Get yourselves down to The Leopard Hotel in Burslem this Saturday for an evening of live music. Churchill's very own Dave Whitehouse is providing the entertainment, so if you're interested you can get a ticket from him. For only £1.50, it's guaranteed to be a fantastic night. 

Eyes Down for Dougie

One of last week's biggest highlights of the fundraising week was undoubtedly the bingo. A sell out event, this will definitely become a regular feature of the fundraising events! Congratulations to winners Dave Whitehouse & Claire Gleave who both won.

Afternoon Tea, Served in the Traditional Manner of Course!

Last week, Becky Chesters and Joan Wootton, served a traditional afternoon tea of scones, jam and cream with a choice of tea or coffee. Raising a total of £90, they were a real winner with hungry runners after the first few legs of the relay race!

Thanks not only goes to them, but also to Wrights Pies for donating the scones.
