'Storey Arms Fundraising Events'

or

S.A.F.E.

 

The Storey Arms public house, at the centre of village life in Osgathorpe, has a long & justifiably proud tradition of tirelessly raising funds for Rainbows Children's Hospice, Loughborough.

The Storey Arms history with Rainbows is born out of a very personal & heartfelt connection with the hospice. Over many years Phil, Sue & the staff have run dozens of events collecting in many thousands of pounds to help this well loved local charity.

From their September beer festival, harvest auction, Burn's Night supper & a myriad of events during the year they put so much love & effort into helping Rainbows whenever & however they can.

In 2007 it was decided to put together a Fun Day & add a daft dog show in for good measure - that's the categories that are daft not the dogs!! With so many lovely canine residents in the village why shouldn't they be included in the fun?

It soon became clear this format had the potential to become very popular not only within Osgathorpe but for our neighbours in the villages & towns over a wide circle from Ashby de la Zouch, Loughborough, Coalville, Diseworth etc.

Despite really dreadful weather (wind, lashing rain) on August 18th 2007 we raised £1337.37p for Rainbows which we feel is a tremendous outcome. We hope if we get a similar result this August it will be something we can build on year by year & run a similar event each summer.

As a direct result of the success of the 2007 event it was decided it would be a good idea to form a group dedicated to contributing to the Storey Arms' fantastic fund raising for Rainbows whilst at the same time taking some of the logistics & planning burden from the pub itself.

So 'Storey Arms Fundraising Events' (or S.A.F.E. because it's easier!) was formed.

Our aim is to create a great fun event which both visitors, volunteers, exhibitors & businesses will want to be part of - all with the shared goal of raising as much money as possible for Rainbows at the same time.

Absolutely no contribution is wasted. Whether it be money, goods, services or goodwill all donations are treated with the utmost respect & looked at individually to see the very best possible way to utilise them to best advantage the fund raising potential for Rainbows. We pride ourselves in coming up with some novel games & competitions to capture people's imagination.

For instance this year the game to win the pair of Motocross of Nations tickets, kindly donated by Donington Park, has been taken out to local motocross club meetings. Already some 10 days ahead of the Fun Day event over £80 has been raised & it ensures fans of the sport get a chance to participate. The game will of course continue to run throughout the Fun Day so everyone coming along on the 31st has an equal chance of winning too but it's one example of really maximising the benefit to Rainbows of a company's generous donation to our efforts.

We do not spend anything but the bare essentials on administration, advertising or any other area of putting on this sort of event. Phone calls & emails are free so that's what is used rather than post if at all possible. Local businesses throughout the area are wonderfully supportive in displaying posters & flyers advertising the event. The local press & radio stations are fantastically helpful in making sure they mention the event both on air & in their 'what's on' listings. There is so much goodwill & respect for Rainbows as a charity both within the immediate area & throughout the East Midlands, that the response for requests for help with S.A.F.E.'s efforts on their behalf is truly heartwarming.

For further info on their event in Diseworth please call Peter Andrews 07711 137194

 

21st August

As most of the lovely men from K.V.A.C. are working farmers the adverse weather means they are behind on harvesting etc. On the basis we are due some decent sunshine(!!) it may be the numbers attending the Fun Day might be reduced as they'll need to literally make hay while the sun shines! However being great supporters of Osgathorpe's events for Rainbows they are pulling out all the stops for a good turn out.

If you are hoping to see a particular vehicle it might be best to get in contact to check which ones will be attending
