QUIZ Evening

Carol Singing Events

Our various Carol Singing events raised nearly £700 and we are particularly grateful for the participation of Walton Primary School Choir at the Sing Carols event organised by Christchurch.

Annual Social Meeting

Our Annual Social Meeting featured short presentations about 8 of our projects and raised over £1,000 in donations.  Many thanks to those that provided food for the occasion and those that cooked.   We were, however, saddened to have to report the death of Joe Williams in Mozambique who, with his wife Lorraine, has lead the Imagine Project which we have supported for several years. Lorraine is hoping to continue their work and our thoughts and prayers are with her.

Spit Roast Lunch Sept 13th 12.30pm

The Spit Roast lunch held at the home of Anna-Stina and Roger Ponsford in Walton raised over £800 for us.  This is the highest total ever achieved by this type of event for TWOAT.  We are particularly grateful to Roger and Anna-Stina for their efforts in organising the event as Anna-Stina had to combine this with being away on the day itself as it ended up clashing with a family member's birthday celebration in Sweden!  Thanks also go to Roger's helpers Alan and Val Corrigall and Duncan and Marilyn Reid, to Stella Gritten who contributed apples for sale and to Lakeland who donated an apple coring device to be raffled.  I would also like to thank TWOAT committee members and friends who contributed food and items for our raffle.   

Sponsored Walks

The two sponsored walks raised over £1500.  Many congratulations to the organiser, John Allinson, and to those that walked and those that sponsored. 

Bottle Stall May 16th

We raised over £230 on our stall at the Walton May Fayre and have a few bottles left to use on another occasion.  Many thanks to those that donated bottles etc.

Auction of Promises
7.15pm Saturday, May 9^th St John’s Hall 

An Auction of Promises is when individuals and local businesses have donated promises to provide a service like a haircut or a meal but sometimes an item like a bottle of vintage wine.  These are then auctioned off to the highest bidder to raise money for a good cause, in this case TWOAT.  

I am delighted to tell you we raised over £2600.  Our grateful thanks go to the Friends of TWOAT who provided many items and also to local businesses as follows:

Promises from local businesses in alphabetic order
