New Years Fundraising






It's that time of year again. Sarah and I journey off to Oxford in Uncle Festa to Spend New Years Eve with Tom and Sally. Festa performs amazingly and easily does 70(ish) for the whole yourney.

A great time is had by all and Tom has a great fundraising idea, why not run a competition in the pub with a puzzle he got for Christmas. The Idea is diarmingly simple and we agree immediatly. The puzzle works like this, There are three holes holes in a rectangular box and what looks like a slider at one end. The problem is that this slider won't move and it's soon found by most that this is a red herring. The puzzle is so elusive that not even the magician on hand for entertainment can solve it.

The puzzle proves to be a great success and we raise over £90 for our charaties (Blue Cross and MacMillan Cancer Care)

Our heartfelt thanks go to Tom , Sally and the Staff of the Victoria Arms for their help and support.
