Finningley Fun Day.
Well the day finally arrived for “Finningley Fun Day”
and we were blessed with a very beautiful day. We hope that everyone enjoyed
it and feels that it should be the start of similar events for the future.
The included photographs will illustrate better than words what a good day
we had and what a good time was had by all. However we could not go to
press without saying a VERY BIG THANK YOU.
We'd like to thank all those who, provided prizes for
the raffle or donations to the funding, Finningley Parish Council,
Yorkshire Aggregates, The Ramada Hotel, Doncaster Rovers, Mrs Pam
Robinson, Marks and Spencer, Walkers Nursery, The Body Shop, Lafarge
Aggregates and Concrete U.K., Asda Super Store, Richard Johnson, Morrisons
and Tesco, not forgetting all those anonymous donors.
Our thanks go out to the many groups that meet in the
Village Hall, providing social and interest based activities for residents,
who responded so wonderfully to the call to get involved ,to Trevor James
who kindly collected and returned the “market stalls” and of course to all
the visiting contributors.
The community group received 10% of the monies that the
participating groups raised to form the basis of next years event fund while
the remaining 90% went to the groups for their funds.
We want to recognise and thank all those individuals,
too many to mention by name, who were prepared to “Get stuck in” to produce
something for the community.
Finally we must thank all of you who came and helped to
make the day a success.
Maureen Marson and Cynthia Scully, Joint Chair.
Finningley Village Community Group.
