Village Whist

 

As most of you know, Wenvoe’s monthly whist drive sadly came to an end last year. The money that was collected for charity during 2016 amounted to £474.69 and was passed on to The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, the chosen charity for last year, nominated by Marilyn Case.

As we see the demise of whist in Wenvoe, readers may like to have some facts about whist in the village.

Prior to 1988 whist was held on the school premises and I believe funds were donated to the school. However in 1988 we moved to the Community Centre. It was decided to donate all future funds to charity, a different one to be voted in each year. Our first charity was LATCH and our final effort was for GUIDE DOGS.

Over twenty eight years of our support, we are pleased to have raised many thousands of pounds for a variety of organisations both in the UK and abroad.

Sad to see the end of whist in the village but it’s possible that sometime in the future, whist could be reinstated in Wenvoe.

 

 

Bath Half Marathon

 

BATH HALF MARATHON
FOR BLOODWISE

In the last edition of Whats On you may have seen my article regarding me and my girlfriend Charlotte running the Bath half marathon in aid of Bloodwise.

I am writing this to say both Charlotte and I took part and completed the half marathon on 12 March. Although it was tough we were cheered on by family and friends around the course and overall had an amazing day.

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone from the village who has supported us by donating to Bloodwise. It was this support, and the fact we were running to raise money to assist in research for treatment of blood cancer, that kept us going in the latter stages of the run.

Again thank you for all the support which has helped to raise £1778.00 so far. If anyone would still like to donate then they can online by going to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/joeandlottie or by popping to 3 Grange Avenue and Andy will arrange the donation on your behalf.

Thank you so much.

Joe Page

Charity Marathon

 

                   BATH HALF MARATHON

 

My name is Joe Page and you may know me as I was brought up in the village. You may also know my step father Andy, as he also lives in the village and can be regularly seen walking with my mum Cath and "Humphrey" the dog. Or you may recognise us from the photograph.

Approximately 18 Months ago Andy was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma which is a blood cancer. This is the 5th most common type of cancer in the UK and, in his case, can be treated but not cured. Regardless of the circumstances, Andy has been nothing but positive, tackling 6 months of chemo-therapy and is still currently receiving treatment.

This is why myself and my girlfriend Charlotte are running the Bath Half Marathon on Sunday 12th March in aid of Bloodwise. Bloodwise is the charity who fund world-class research and offer expert in-formation and support to anyone affected by Leukae-mia, Lymphoma, Myeloma and other blood cancer related disor-ders.

Our aim is to raise as much money as we can for this excellent charity and therefore if you would wish to donate to our justgiving page (www.justgiving.com/ JoeandLottie) then any amount would be greatly appreciated. If you do not have access to a computer but would still like to donate, then you could drop a donation to Andy at 3 Grange Avenue where he would be able to forward it to the just giving page on your behalf.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

                        Joe Page
