£4,000 Fundraising Success

Fantastic news!

Friends of Pinner Village Gardens have come first in the latest round of the Tesco Bags of Help scheme for North West London, so our guaranteed £1,000 has been converted into £4,000!

Thanks to all of you who shopped in Tesco’s, persuaded the check-out folk to give you as many blue tokens as possible, and popped said tokens into the FoPVG ‘box’.

Extra thanks to project-manager Antonia Savvides for organising everything.

Extra extra thanks to Antonia and her mother-in-law for shopping like there’s no tomorrow. Absolutely outstanding performance as I’m sure you’ll agree!

Finally, congratulations to our good friends Friends of Roxbourne Park – http://friendsofroxbourne.wixsite.com/park –  who came second and raised £2,000.

Annual Wheelbarrow Race – Volunteers Needed!

In case you are wondering, it’s not to take part in the wheelbarrow race but to help with stewarding! This is for 22 April.

For health and safety reasons, they need to have approximately 16 stewards for the Wheel Barrow Race and the Pinner Rotary Club can provide about 10 of these. So they need about 6 more for the duration of the race.

Basically all they need is to be able-bodied and to be available for 25 minutes from 2:30 to 3:15 pm.    Plus you will get a great view of the race.

If you are able to help, contact
