🐴❤️ THE FUNDRAISING CONTINUES AT PARK VIEW! ❤️🐴

First of all, a HUGE thank you to everyone who came along, supported, donated and helped make our 80s at the Stables night such a fantastic success! 🪩🎶

The figures are looking amazing and it appears we raised just over £5,000 on the night! 🎉

We honestly can’t thank you all enough.

But we’re not stopping there… now it’s time for the amazing kids at Park View Riding School to take on their own fundraising challenge! 🐎

Our riders will be taking part in a Ba****ck Riding Challenge, raising as much money as they can for our two fantastic charities:

❤️ LOROS Hospice
❤️ Love Support Unite

And there’s a little extra incentive…

🏆 The TOP 3 fundraisers will each get their OWN HORSE FOR THE DAY at Park View! 🐴✨

So kids — get your family, friends, neighbours, teachers and anyone else you can think of involved and let’s see how much more we can raise!

There are two ways to take part:

👉 print off a sponsorship donation form (on post) or Pick up one from coffee shop/instructor and start collecting sponsors.

OR

👉 Set up your own JustGiving fundraising page (link to ours) and share it with friends and family.

IMPORTANT: If you create your own JustGiving page, please make sure it is linked to our main Park View fundraising page so everything raised counts towards our total:

Let’s keep this amazing fundraising going! 🥰

80s at the Stables — THIS FRIDAY 21st Aug 🎸

Everything you need for the night:

💜 **It's all for LOROS & Love Support Unite.** LOROS have had to cut inpatient beds from 31 to 20 and slash therapy services by up to half because of a £2m shortfall — this is genuinely needed. LSU do incredible sustainable development work in Malawi and was started by two sisters from Thurcaston. All profits go to these two fantastic charities.

🎟 **Doors 6.30–7.30pm.** Paul & Charlie on the gate for a meet and greet — got your wristband already? Show it, grab your welcome drink, grab your first raffle strip off Paul. Booked online? Give your name, get your wristband and drink. Bringing extra people? Buy on entry in that window — after 7.30, grab tickets at the bar instead.

🎰 **The raffle is stacked this year** — weekend away for 8 in a gorgeous Bakewell cottage, Park View riding vouchers, a garden bench and loads more. Full list pinned up on the night. Strips are £5 — grab a few, it all counts.

📅 **Rough running order:**
6.30–7.30 — doors, welcome drink
~7.30/45 — Forever 80s, first set (45 mins)
8.30 — band break, tunes on the speakers
~9.00 — second live set
9.45 — grab a drink, raffle's coming up
10.00 — raffle draw, top 3 prizes live on stage, rest on the board in the bar
10.15–11.00 — grand finale set, dancing shoes on
Bar closes 11.30pm

🍕 Pizza van all night, from £12. Kids' stand with sweets, crisps & soft drinks. Plenty of soft drinks at the bar too for anyone not drinking — both menus attached below.

🚗 **Parking** — park sensibly, don't block anyone in. If you're 100% driving your car away that night, you're welcome to park on the arena. If it's staying overnight, please don't — we've got lessons on there at 8.30am. Please avoid the road too, plenty of room on site.

🚻 **Toilets** — portacabin by the meet and greet spot, separate ladies' and gents'. Please don't use the cabins or the plants — most of it's our veg garden and we don’t want to get drunk of eating our home grown carrots

🚬 **Smokers** — there's a designated smoking area, please stick to it.

📍 Park View Riding School, Anstey Lane, Thurcaston, LE7 7JA

Can't wait to see you there — don't be shy at the bar or on the raffle; it's all for two brilliant charities!
