2014

We are approaching the end of 2014 - just a few hours left and it is appropriate to reflect and thank those that have supported us over the past 12 months.

Despite the difficulties with fundraising the charity has maintained its services for the children that attend Honeylands and we will continue to do so during 2015. There are various events planned by our supporters (new and old) over the coming months to bring in much needed funds and an ongoing event covering the whole year planned to raise substantial funds for specific specialist equipment.

To find out more follow us on Twitter (@honeylandscc) or follow and like us on Facebook or through this blog.

There are too many people/organisations to thank here individually that have contributed during 2014 but you know who you are. A really big thank you to you all for your support (in whatever way you have) and donations. Your contributions really have made a difference to what we provide for the children and hopefully we can continue to do so and expand that provision in 2015.

So enjoy your celebrations this evening and from all at Honeylands a very Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

THANK YOU.

Diggers Rest Quiz Night


Wow Eee. £1500.00 raised in one night.
 
What a fantastic night of quizzing, fun and good food at the Diggers Rest PH last evening. 100 quizzers filled the pub and enjoyed sausage and mash to start followed by 4 rounds of quiz questions, 1 music round and 1 round of lateral thinking, plus a raffle and auction.

Birthday boy Ian was the eloquent quiz master suitably attired for the occasion. The table mascots as shown on the bar in the photo were purchased and donated to Honeylands by the contestants. The sausages for the meal were supplied and donated by Andrew Freemantle, Kenniford Farm Shop.

Thanks also go to all the people and businesses who donated prizes for the raffle. Thanks to Hadyn Thomas and Exeter Chiefs for the fantastic auction prizes.

The biggest individual thank you(s) has to go to Mark, Donna, Lorna, JJ and all the staff who organised and made this night so very special. What a great gesture by Mark to choose Honeylands Children's Charity as the beneficiary of this event and to donate all the money taken for the food.

Finally a huge thank you to the 100 quizzers from Woodbury Salterton and surrounding area for coming out and supporting Mark and team and ultimately Honeylands Children's Charity.

Note:
The Diggers Rest is a gem of a pub set in the lovely village of Woodbury Salterton. Why not visit, enjoy a meal and take in the friendly welcoming atmosphere. It is just what a village pub should be.


A very Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year.
