The SAMBER volunteers have been hard at work organising a Fundraising ‘Race Night’ on 21st November 2008 in Mayford.  Many local businesses and individuals have sponsored the races for the evening (see below for a full line up so far!), whilst others have supplied very generous prizes for the silent auction and raffle, not to mention the refreshments for the evening!  We are extremely grateful for everyone’s help so far, and your generosity, both timewise and financially, is much appreciated.  It certainly bodes well for a very successful evening, helping ensure the future of SAMBER in 2009, for all the children and ponies involved.

 

If you’d like to get involved and donate - please contact SAMBER now!

On Thursday 8th May 2008, SAMBER took a full complement of volunteers along to the RDA Fancy Dress competition at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.  Thank you to everyone who came along to support SAMBER in the sunny Frogmore Arena.  This year we came a very respectable fourth place, with our interpretation of the theme Heroes and Villains; a very cute Little Red Riding Hood and a very scary (if rather fluffy) wolf in Grandma’s clothing!

The National RDA is also holding a collection for mobile phones and used printer cartridges, again to re-use and recycle them. We have special envelopes with bar codes to ensure any money raised comes directly back to SAMBER. If you have phones or cartridges that you would like to donate, please visit inkagain.co.uk to ensure they can use it, then email SAMBER so we can supply you with the relevant barcode and envelopes.

A collection for CD’s and DVD’s is currently underway at the SAMBER Group. We will be sending a large box full of unwanted music and films to be re-used or recycled, and in doing so, raise money for SAMBER. For more information and details of where to send your old CD’s and DVD’s, please visit CD’s for Good Causes. Remember to ask that the cheque they send back be payable to the RDA SAMBER Group - thank you!
