Fun and games at Woodley Carnival

On Saturday 14 June, some of our committee ran a stall at Woodley Carnival. We had lots of people stop by the stall and play our games to win fun prizes. It was a beautiful sunny day, and we enjoyed soaking up the carnival vibes.

Here we are all set up with our stall at the start of the Carnival:

​​A highlight was seeing the Lancaster Bomber aeroplane fly over the carnival site!

Our surprise bags were popular with children and adults alike - each containing a mystery item.

The raffle prizes included various hampers themed on gardening, unicorns, games, and floral smellies.

Our attraction that scored the most attention was our lollipop game, where children could pay 50p to pick a lolly, and if it had a mark on the end of the stick they could also choose one of our house trained dogs to adopt! We are happy to report that every dog went home with a happy child on Saturday!

There was lots of entertainment going on throughout the day, including various acts performing on stage, and entertainers around the site such as these stilt walkers!

We raised a total of £250 on the day - this will help put more smiles on children’s faces through the fun outings, and gifts at Christmas, that we provide.

This was just the start of summer fete season for us - throughout the summer you’ll also be able to find us at Winnersh Fete on 21 June, and Earley Green Fair on 2 August. Hope to see you there!
