PRIZE and CAKE STALL APPEAL - Can you help?

Our race day is coming up fast, and while we’ve already gathered some brilliant prizes, we’re not quite at “fully loaded expedition canoe” levels yet.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

We are looking for:
🎁 An unwanted gift?
🍫 A box of chocolates?
🍷 A bottle?
🎟️ A voucher?
🦆 Something random but surprisingly desirable?
🍰 🧁 cakes and bakes for our cake stall

If so, we’d love to give it a new home on our prize table.

Every donated prize helps raise valuable funds for the club and gives someone the thrill of winning something they didn’t know they desperately needed.

Please bring donations to the clubhouse or contact Laura on [email protected]

Your help is very much appreciated.
