Elm Grove's Weekend Break - November 2009
79 people
attended the weekend break in Eastbourne, West Sussex on the
weekend of the
27 November. Everyone had a great time although the
weather was not good. The highlight of the weekend
was the Festive Taster Weekend at The Queen's
Hotel. The trip was organised by Tony Yates who hopes to
organize another holiday in 2010.
Charity Football Match
Elm Grove members were involved in a Charity Football match
at the Holmer Green Sports Association in Holmer Green on Sunday 3
May. 900 people attended the event watching the Holmer Green Dad's
Vs Arsenal Celebrity X1. A fantastic sum of £6.000 was
raised and £1500 was given to the Arsenal Charitable Trust and
£4.500 was given to Holmer Green Football Club to sponsor
their youth Teams.
Many thanks to all the Foresters and
their friends who volunteered on the day and helped with the
barbeque and on the entrance gate. A highlight of the event was TV
Chef Phil Vickery announcing the Match on the
program This Morning.
