Response from Lambourn Valley Housing Trust following our fundraiser centred on the 2010 Cheltenham Festival...
"Dear Steve,
Thank you to all contributors towards your latest cheque.
We have recently paid off the debt on the last of the eighteen houses we built at Francome Fields.
We are hoping to purchase a house nearby which also has some land on which we could build another house.
Otherwise we are funding any small projects which benefit staff and their families. We have also helped the local school and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance who are an enormous help to us when unfortunate accidents happen on the gallops etc.
Thank you again so much.
Yours sincerely, Mark
Kershaw
Lambourn Open Day - Annually on Good Friday -
The open day is a unique opportunity to see the horses in the training establishments throughout the Lambourn Valley. Last year over 30 trainers opened their yards to the public and over 10,000 people took the opportunity to meet the horses, the trainers and to really see first hand the Lambourn racing industry. Many yards have special exhibits and some demonstrations including horses using hydrotherapy pools.
In the afternoon the massive events field with its central arena opens with a full programme of equine and country related shows and demonstrations of country skills. Trade stands offer all manner of goods and services generally connected to country pursuits. Children's activities are also available and there are many different places where food is available.
Lambourn Valley Housing Trust is one of the charities who benefit from the open day. |
