Fun Day in the Park - Friends of Kirkham Parks

Forester Hospitality Branch really pulled out a finger at this fundraising event to raise money for a park regeneration in Kirkham. Some of our Branch members are very active in this charitable cause and asked for Branch support to strengthen their efforts.

Not only did we run an Airbrush Tattooing stall, but also donated the top prize – a brand new children’s bicycle - for what turned out to be a very popular raffle draw!

“It was such a great event to help out at! The children were so excited about all the play opportunities with a bouncy castle, games and airbrush tattoo being available to them. The lucky winner of the bicycle was a young girl who never had her own bike before and that is just lovely to see how the Foresters can make such a difference in people’s lives with a rather small effort.

Cartmel Races 2009 - 2 August 2009

A coach filled with 25 race enthusiasts as well as novices, young and older, enjoyed a fantastic outing at Cartmel Races this year. The weather was on our side and we set up during late morning, enjoying a picnic & drink prior to the spectacle.

Meeting and mingling with new and old Foresters was a real pleasure and sharing the momentum of the eventful races has given all of us truly lasting memories. So much so, every one wants to come back next year for more!

During a coach raffle on the way to the races we raised £40 for the Northwest Air Ambulance! A big thank you to all who contributed and to Marjorie & Keith for organizing great prizes!

“It was a great day out! The weather was on our side, the Forester group was in great spirits and the races were an exciting and very different experience for all of us. I particularly enjoyed the picnic sharing a drink, a bite to eat and a good laugh.” (Mark Richardson)

G-Casino Experience - 2 October 2009

20 members and their friends came along to The G-Casino on 2nd October 2009,  for a night of great food, wine and gaming fun.

The Casino Experience came inclusive of a great 3-course-meal, gaming tuition and vouchers which were greatly received as we headed off for the tables & slot machines hoping to apply the tricks we had just been shown. We had a great night, especially since most of us came home with more money than they left the house with!

During a table raffle we raised £65 for the Northwest Air Ambulance! A big thank you to all who contributed!

“It was a fantastic evening. We all enjoyed the personal gaming tuition by a Casino professional and loved the challenge of making the most of our chips! ” (Kristin Richardson, Branch Member)

Strike Lane Primary School Summer Fayre - 4 July 2009

On Saturday 4th July Forester Hospitality Branch supported the local school in their fundraising activities on the day. We put on Airbrush Tattooing for the children as well as the Stocks game where they all had a go at throwing wet sponges at each other and their teachers. Marjorie and Keith Taylor as well as Kristin and Mark Richardson manned the stall for the afternoon.

The Airbrush Tattoos were extremely popular with all children and the designs came out wonderful being multi-coloured and full of sparkling highlights and helped to raise £80 for the school. The Stocks game was able to raise a further £40.

“It was a really nice time spent at Strike Lane Primary School. It is great to see the children so enthusiastic about what we do and it’s nice to have a chat with other Foresters and parents and not to forget out Financial Adviser Mark Richardson who is always supporting and helping to organize our events. Knowing that we are doing a great deed by raising money for the school makes it all just so worthwhile.”
