ON behalf of the trustees and members of Kennet Valley Driving Group I’d like to thank everyone involved in the open garden event on July 3 in Lockeridge.

Particular thanks go to Carolyn Stimpson, the prime mover behind the event, and Alison Goulding, who organised the amazing raffle, as well as Cobbs Farm Shop who helped raise much of the money and donated prizes and all the businesses who donated raffle prizes. An amazing donation of £2,000 was made to the group.

Thanks too to our members who gave up their Sunday afternoon to go and give carriage rides and sell our annual draw tickets. If anyone is interested in volunteering with the group please email me at the address below.

Once again, thank you to everyone for such a successful event.
