This year’s Rally was a huge success. We have had lots of feedback saying how much people enjoyed the event. And, yes, we were again lucky with the weather!
We have now finished doing the sums, and we are delighted to announce that we have £18,000 to give away to good causes in and around Woodcote. So we want now to invite organisations in the village to tell us what we can do for them.
If you are part of a society or group or organisation that supports the life of the village and its residents, and you have a project, or some development plans, or maybe just a good idea, we would like you to send us an email telling us about what you do for the village, what you would like to do, what it is going to cost, and how it will benefit the village. The more you can tell us, the better. We would much prefer to support your good idea, rather than contribute to your running costs. And we can only deal with bona fide organisations that at the very least have a bank account. Sorry, but we can’t support individuals.
If your organisation is one of those that provided help to the Rally (and sincere thanks to those that did – we couldn’t have done it without you), then you will automatically receive a donation which reflects the help you gave. However, if you have a “special” project, then please do email us the details. If we can, we would like to provide additional support.
You may represent an organisation which has received donations in the past. If you do, you still need to email us in order to be considered for a donation this year. We are starting with a clean slate, so please tell us how we can support you.
We need to receive your email by Friday, 4th October. Please include a telephone number in case we need to call you. At the end of October, the Association will decide who gets what, and we will contact you soon after with the news. If you are successful, you will be invited to attend our Presentation evening on Friday 29th November in the Village Hall, where you will be presented with your cheque.
Finally, the email address you need to write to:
