We're mad, we are: another tandem parachute jump
Saturday 14th July 2012, 8.30am
Last year's fundraising skydive at the Hinton Skydiving Centre was such fun we've made arrangements so that another six keen supporters can throw themselves out of a light aircraft, strapped to a total stranger. If you've ever longed to feel the wind rushing past your ears as you plummet to the ground for a few seconds, and then experience the comforting yank as the parachute opens and you drift gently and serenely to the ground, this is your chance.
You'll need to pay a deposit of £50 and raise a minimum of £500 sponsorship. Four kerayzee people have already expressed an interest.
Get in touch with Emma Simmonite on 01908 550700 for an informal chat, or more information. We'd love to hear from you.
Charity Golf Day at The Millbrook Golf Club
Friday 28th September, 11am
Join us for a day of golf and competition at the undulating golf course nestling in a mature and scenic woodland setting.
£150 per team of three players: a three ball 18 hole Stableford.
We will be serving delicious, hot bacon rolls and a warming mug of tea on your arrival. At the end of the day we hope you will enjoy the hot and cold buffet and more tea, and presentation of the prizes.
Do you fancy being our main sponsor for the day or could you sponsor a prize?
We are looking for sponsors for:
- the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes
- the golf balls
- raffle prizes
- the nearest pin
- the longest drive
For further information please call the fundraising team on 01908 557891
Postcards Anonymous: an exhibition of original art
6th, 7th and 8th November 2012
Like the Royal College of Art's annual exhibition, we will be holding a sale of anonymously produced pieces of original art, at The University Gallery in Central Milton Keynes. We need you, kind supporter, to send us a painting, a drawing, a piece of collage the size of a postcard. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it is all your own work and not a photograph. And it must not have your name or signature on the front.
We will display all the postcards, anonymously, in the gallery and invite people to buy them on a first come first served basis. They won't know whose art they are buying - they'll just choose it because they like it.
Please tell your friends, relatives and work colleagues about this fabulous opportunity to help raise funds for charity. Since it must be 6" x 4" (or 7" x 5") no embalmed sheep please. But line drawings, doodles, cartoons, watercolour landscapes - whatever is "art" to you - we welcome it.
Please send your postcard to Di Payne at The Peartree Centre, 1 Chadds lane, Milton Keynes MK6 3EB.
