Its a two woman job getting the coat out of Dougal

Hannah & Lauren getting stuck in!

 

 

Carol, Sarah, Sue, Chris and Carolyn all helped out at the RDA Supra Regional Conference at Ledston EC yesterday. There were talks by Nigel on Strangles and Laminitis, a demo by equine physio Janet, a talk from our RDA Therapist Denise and a demo by Katheryn Gallagher and her lovely horse Dreamer.

 

I'm helping Wakefield RDA to raise money whenever I shop online - could you do the same?

 

It's very simple - just visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/wakefieldrda/ to register and shop with over 2000 well known retailers like Amazon, Argos, M&S, eBay and many more. Whenever I buy something, the retailer makes a donation to Wakefield RDA. They've helped other causes raise over £2,000,000 so it really does work.

 

You could use easyfundraising too. It won't cost you a penny extra to shop through easyfundraising and you can even save money with special offers and voucher codes.

 

Plus, if you register before 1st May you'll automatically receive one entry into a free prize draw to win an Apple iPod Touch complete with Sony docking station worth over £450 - all courtesy of Viking!

 

So please make a difference to Wakefield RDA and take a look at easyfundraising today - http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/wakefieldrda/

 

Here is a link for the 'find & remind' program - if you install it, it pops up everytime you go on a website that is part of the scheme, so earning more money! Plus for every person that installs it, they donate 50p to WRDA!  http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/find-and-remind/

Thank you!

to The Charity of Joseph Harrison

who have just given us a grant of £810 to buy a tipper trailer.

Volunteers will no longer have to lug wheelbarrows from the Corrals to the muckheap, giving them more time for caring for the ponies and helping with lessons

 

Our latest fundraising campaign is to raise £3000 to renovate the Corrals. They are very boggy so we hope to bring in a contractor to put drainage in and put a new wood chip surface down. Repairs also need to be made to the fencing and shelters.

As part of our fundraising we are having a concert and tickets are now on sale.

Friday 23rd March at 7pm - Enjoy an entertaining night out with hot supper at our comedy opera HMS Pinafore performed by the Wakefield Gilbert & Sullivan Society who come to us straight after their week at the Wakefield Theatre.

Tasty hot food and a drink will be available during the interval.

Tickets can be picked up from the RDA Office and Pennine Reception or by sending SAE to Wakefield RDA, Pennine Community, Wood Lane, Chapelthorpe, Wakefield WF4 3JL. Cheques made payable to Wakefield RDA. For more info please phone the office on 01924 241341

So come along and bring a friend! help us raise the funds for our lovely ponies.
