Ramble for Children in Need

Message from John Guest, Doctor`s Meadow.

It's been brought to my attention that although I thanked people for   taking part in the Countryfile Ramble, for Children In Need, on the   Ruyton Newsgroup page, on Facebook, I haven't mentioned it, through   Yoland's mailing list!    The ramble took place on October 9th this year, with around 70 of us   taking part. We walked, over the Cliffe, Hopton Hill and Nesscliffe   Hill, with some people choosing to do shorter routes.    Some of us took in some well deserved refreshment, at the Talbot Inn   afterwards!    Once I had checked and double checked all of the money collected (   there was a minimum entry donation of £1 and Pudsey Bear wristbands for   sale), I paid in a whopping £210 online, this included a generous £10   donation, from our Parish Council.    I was able to claim Gift Aid on this donation, which amounted to   £52.50, bringing our total up to £262.50. Dot Williams paid in a   separate £27, from sponsorship she had gathered, which, I believe, also   had Gift Aid added to it.    This is a fantastic effort by our villagers and a few from further   afield, thank you for taking part, enjoying the day and raising so   much, for such a good cause.    Three of our photos, from the day, featured on the Countryfile Ramble   special, screened on BBC1, on Sunday 6th November, at 6:00 p.m. FAME AT   LAST!    Thanks again, John Guest.    WHO'S UP FOR NEXT YEARS RAMBLE?!
