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.
